Abstract：
In this paper, a typical residential building in Hainan province is taken as example to investigate the impact of different building envelope practices on the thermal perfromances and energy consumption of the building. It is found that the commonly employed ventilation roof in tropical island cities may not satisfy the ralted standards on thermal performances and energy saving, and should be companied by a layer of foamglass or foamed concrete. Meanwhile, autoclaved aerated concrete presents favorable performances in hindering the heat tranfered from the outside, and insulattion coating can reduce the building’s cooling demand apparently.
