Multiobjective Optimization Design of Green Building Energy Consumption Based on Inorganic Thermal Insulation Nanomaterials by Yuan Yuan, Songtao Li

“…In order to solve the problem that building engineering construction needs to consume a lot of energy and cause environmental pollution, which will pose a great pressure on urban resources and environment, this paper proposes that, in building engineering construction, appropriate green construction technology must be selected in combination with the actual situation, so as to effectively reduce the energy consumption of building engineering and improve the use efficiency of building engineering. Firstly, good thermal insulation nanomaterials are selected, which are cost-effective, safe, and nontoxic and has small thermal conductivity, large heat storage coefficient, stable chemical performance, and good construction performance. …”
