A brief analysis of the application of green energy saving in interior decoration design

Abstract: With the rapid rise of modern urbanization construction, the urban ecological environment continues to improve, and people also have concerns about the indoor environment of their homes. With higher requirements, various design and decoration forms with cultural connotations and style characteristics have been developed. In particular, new design concepts have been developed in the new century and the new concept of "green energy-saving design" has been proposed, which will promote the future development and progress of interior design.

Keywords: Green energy saving; interior decoration design; application

How to improve the quality of life is gradually becoming the mainstream of today's modern life. Interior decoration is closely related to people's lives, so everyone is very concerned about the health and environmental protection of the indoor decoration environment. People hope to improve their living environment and make their lives better. Interior decoration environment design is a bridge connecting human material civilization and spiritual civilization, and is one of the forms of human transformation of the natural environment. Therefore, promoting green and environmentally friendly design concepts has become the mainstream today.

1 Principles of indoor green design

1.1 People-oriented. Indoors are important places for people to work, study, rest, and entertain. The quality of the indoor environment seriously affects people's physical health and life emotions. Therefore, the first design element of green interior design is to be people-oriented, focusing on people's direct needs for the indoor environment. . Under the premise of ensuring harmony with the natural ecological environment, green interior design maximizes the pursuit of people's comfort and satisfaction in the process of living. The following factors will directly affect the quality of people's indoor living and even cause harm to human health:

(1) Poor indoor physical environment, such as ventilation conditions, light and darkness, temperature and humidity, lighting, sound insulation effect, etc.;

(2) The spatial layout does not comply with the principle of convenience of use, indoor The facility design clearly violates ergonomic requirements. Therefore, in order to minimize the harm to the human body in the indoor environment, we must rationally design the space layout, scientifically divide indoor functional areas, strive to improve indoor ventilation, lighting, sound insulation and other physical environments, and strive to design living facilities to follow ergonomics to maximize people's Physical and psychological requirements.

1.2 Coordinate with the environment. Urban life seems to be far away from the natural environment, but in fact people's indoor environment is closely related to the surrounding ecological environment. The pollution caused to the ecological environment by people during the interior design process will receive a strong response from nature. Therefore, paying attention to ecological civilization, respecting nature, and coordinating with the surrounding natural environment are the core principles of the green interior design concept. The starting point and purpose of all interior design ideas and work are the coordination of the indoor environment and the surrounding natural environment, which rises to the entire human architecture. Interior design activities should emphasize ecological coordination with the entire natural environment.

1.3 Dynamic development. After people buy a new house, they have to renovate the rough house in a big way, and interior design is the focus; when moving into a second-hand house, they will also rearrange the interior decoration according to personal preferences, drastic changes, or partial fine-tuning based on the original decoration. With the improvement of living standards and the acceleration of the pace of life, and people are easily influenced by various new decoration concepts and styles from decoration companies and decoration magazines, interior decoration has the characteristics of short use time and repeated decoration, which has a great impact on natural resources and It is a huge waste of manpower and material resources. However, the building material waste and decorative solid waste produced during interior decoration cannot usually be reused and cannot be decomposed in a short period of time, causing great harm and pollution to the natural environment. Based on various practical problems of current interior decoration, we have put forward the principles of dynamic development and sustainable development. When designing interiors, we must fully consider the changing trends of interior decoration styles in the next few to more than ten years, and try to use green, environmentally friendly, recyclable and reusable materials. Utilize high-quality decorative materials to reduce the waste of natural resources such as raw materials and building materials, strengthen the decoration concept of heavy decoration and light decoration, and protect the natural environment to the maximum extent.

2. Misunderstandings about the current indoor green and environmentally friendly decoration design

2.1 Environmental protection does not necessarily have to be expensive. It does not mean that the price is high, the quality is high, and the pollution is small. Generally speaking, although there is a certain rationality, sometimes manufacturers will take advantage of consumer psychology to raise prices and mislead consumers, resulting in a phenomenon where high prices mean high quality and environmental protection.

Even if some products are expensive, they are indeed good value for money, but the reason is not necessarily because they pollute less. It is probably due to high materials and high costs, which are not necessarily related to environmental protection. Therefore, when purchasing environmentally friendly materials, you should not look at the price. You should look at the product’s test report and factory certification. If necessary, go to an authoritative agency for testing.

2.2 Environmentally friendly materials do not require testing. Many people believe that the materials used in each process of decoration, including the purchased furniture and various soft decorations, all comply with national standards. Although the materials used are individually environmentally friendly, adding them together may lead to excessive environmental protection. Therefore, after decoration, you need to find Authoritative organizations conduct environmental testing.

2.3 Environmental protection does not mean that there is no odor. Many people do not pay attention to whether there is pollution during the decoration and construction process. They only pay attention to whether there is any odor in the house after the decoration is completed. They think that after ventilation, there is no odor in the house, which means it is environmentally friendly. In fact, among the indoor polluting substances, except for benzene, which has an aromatic smell, and formaldehyde and ammonia, which have a pungent smell, many substances are colorless and odorless. Therefore, we should pay attention to the pollution during the decoration process. After the decoration is completed, we should find the relevant authoritative agency for testing to ensure that the indoor environment meets the standards.

3. Application of “green energy-saving design” in interior decoration

3.1 Decoration design of doors and windows. Mainly the treatment and design of exterior windows. Among building maintenance structures, doors and windows have the worst thermal insulation performance, which is one of the important factors affecting indoor energy saving. First of all, we need to control the window-to-wall area ratio. The window-to-wall ratio should be smaller in the north, east, and west directions, and larger in the south direction. In a building without air conditioning, the window-to-wall area ratio in each direction should not be greater than 0.45 in the north direction, and not greater than 0.45 in the east and west direction. It should be greater than 0.30, and the south direction should not be about 0.50; in air-conditioned buildings, the average window-to-wall area ratio of single-frame single-glazed windows should not exceed 0.3, and double-glazed windows should not exceed 0.4. Of course, if the above requirements cannot be met during the architectural design stage, the exterior windows can be re-designed using indoor environmentally friendly materials during the decoration design to meet the requirements. Providing external sunshades and glass shielding are also important measures for indoor energy conservation. The glass material and external shading both have an impact on the shading rate. The glass material can be reflective glass and heat-absorbing glass with high reflectivity. If the original exterior window uses a single-layer glass ordinary window, it can be replaced with an insulated glass broken bridge metal window with good thermal insulation performance, and sealing strips can be installed on the exterior door window. . Installing external shading is far more effective than changing the glass material. Installing movable external shading devices on the windows, and using film energy-saving technology on the window glass surface can greatly reduce the amount of heat radiation entering the room, especially the west-facing and east-facing windows of the building, where heat radiation has the greatest impact on the room; try to choose thick and dense cloth indoors, and partitions For curtains with good thermal insulation effect, you can also choose curtains with a layer of blackout cloth.

3.2 Indoor wall insulation decoration and renovation. The building wall insulation layer plays an important role in ensuring the stability of indoor and outdoor heat exchange. For buildings that do not have an outdoor wall insulation layer, especially in northern buildings where the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, internal insulation can be implemented on the indoor walls during decoration. Construction measures, especially for east-west walls, insulation materials can be mineral (rock) cotton felt, 3cm thick wooden bars, and the spacing is 60cm. The panels can be paper-faced gypsum boards with a thickness of 9.5cm or 12cm; or cement fiber can be used for pressure. board, with a thickness of 0.5~0.6cm. When decorating the top indoor ceiling, placing insulation materials on the ceiling gypsum board can improve the thermal insulation; when the balcony is renovated and connected to the inner room, an insulation layer must be installed on the top surface of the balcony wall. ; When laying wooden floors, insulation materials, such as mineral (rock) wool boards, flame-retardant foam plastics, etc., can be placed between the joists under the boards. Another energy-saving design for the floor is heating decoration by laying floor heating pipes under the floor. Method. The principle of floor heating is to circulate low-temperature hot water under the floor to evenly transfer heat to the floor, and then radiate from the floor to the ground. The radiation propagation and convection propagation efficiency is high, which can effectively save 30% to 50% of energy, and can realize room control. , Household metering can greatly save costs. In northern areas, heating pipe laying design can be adopted as appropriate.

3.3 Reduce or avoid decoration structures that block cooling and heating facilities. Due to climate factors in the southern region, air conditioning equipment is often used to cool and heat indoors.

Especially in large public spaces, such as star-rated hotels, guesthouses and other public places, since it is difficult to directly use natural light and natural wind, centralized central air-conditioning equipment is often used for ventilation. The decoration design is for different units. In the design, it is inevitable that the air-conditioning and ventilation equipment and the decorative structural parts will block each other. At this time, each design unit communicates with each other and should conduct energy-saving analysis based on the conditions of air-conditioning, ventilation, decoration materials, etc., and provide The most energy-saving solution is developed, which not only maintains the comfort and aesthetics of the indoor space environment, but also ensures low energy consumption of indoor ventilation.

4 Conclusion

As people’s living standards continue to improve, environmental protection has gradually gained people’s recognition in decoration. Interior decoration is no longer just simple beauty and comfort, people pay more attention to health, safety and peace of mind. Therefore, we will take "green environmental protection" as the top priority and create a more warm, comfortable, healthy, safe and comfortable home for everyone.
