Design of Public Rental Settlements Based on Green and Low-carbon Research: Example of Course Design for a Senior Design Class

Public rental housing has received widespread attention from the government and the public, and with the global response to climate change and the goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutral,” the development of green and low-carbon rental housing has become an important trend. Against this background, the design of public rental housing in this project is designed with the hope that students will take the problem as the guide, performance optimization as the means, and start from the perspective of architectural design to explore the combination of low-carbon strategy or green technology and design in order to create low-carbon public rental housing. The paper analyzes and shows four groups of assignments in detail, which, through crowd demand analysis and site analysis, propose corresponding low-carbon driven design solution strategies from four aspects: the design of shared carbon-saving living patterns, the pattern organization of innovative central corridors that facilitate lighting and ventilation, algorithm-driven form generation, and the composite optimization of radiant heat in the façade.
