Thermal performance of lonicera rupicola grass as a building insulation composite material

Lu-Xi Lu et al.

Summary: In order to reduce heating energy consumption and operating costs in winter, it is necessary to improve building insulation performance. In Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a unique filling material called lonicera rupicola grass that is widely used for thermal insulation of buildings. However, its thermal performance has not yet been determined. This study determines the thermal conductivity of different lonicera rupicola samples with various densities and compares its thermal performance with that of other common building materials in the Tibetan areas. The experimental results show that lonicera rupicola grass has a very low thermal conductivity which improves with increasing packing density. In addition, as a locally and widely available plant, lonicera rupicola can be obtained at minimal cost. Therefore, it has the advantage of saving energy, reducing costs, and protecting the environment as a green and ecological building material for floors and roofs.

Study on the influence of hypobaric hypoxia on human thermal comfort under step change thermal environments

Guannan Duan et al.

Summary: Given the meteorological conditions on the Tibetan plateau, people moving in and out of buildings are exposed to transient thermal environments. The hypoxic environment and low temperatures in Tibet make it difficult for individuals to adapt to temperature changes, increasing the risk of disease. This study conducted temperature step change experiments in Xi'an and Lhasa to understand the impact of this condition. The results showed that the hypoxic environment of the plateau decreases thermal sensation and skin temperature in Tibet, and prolongs the time needed for the skin to rewarm.
