ABSTRACT
Building performance in cold regions greatly affects the quality of people living in the building. With the further development of the construction industry, how to improve the energy efficiency of buildings in cold regions has become one of the key issues. The study introduces paraffin phase change capsules as aggregate components on the basis of foam concrete, and then designs a matching energy efficiency analysis method to regulate the concrete parameters, and finally tests the performance of the research method and conducts an application analysis. The experimental results show that in performance simulation testing, the internal surface temperature decreases to 288.2K at the minimum when the external temperature is 0°C to 4°C. It shows that the research method can effectively analyze the building performance, and the analysis method can optimize the performance of the foam concrete materials proposed in the research, and obtain building materials with better thermal insulation performance than the existing conventional materials. Research can provide certain technical references for building energy conservation in cold regions.
