Analysis on the Influencing Factors of Typical Residential District Model in South China’s Pearl River Delta

With the developing concentration of urban population in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), the research on both commercial and residential building performance simulation is attracting increasing attention. In this paper, the plane and elevation parameters (such as building size, distance, shape, shape coefficient, storey height, window-to-wall ratio, etc.) of about 100 residential districts in the PRD since 2010 were statistically analysed, which lay a solid foundation for the definition of a typical residential district model. The model of typical residential district can be used to evaluate the energy-saving effect and potential of various technologies, which is of great significance to the technology research, policy formulation and market orientation.
