While urban greenery is known to regulate microclimates and reduce air pollution, its integrated effects remain insufficiently quantified. Through field monitoring and ENVI-met 5.1 modeling of high-rise residential areas in Jinan, the results demonstrate that: (1) vegetation exhibits distinct spatial impacts in air-quality impacts, reducing roadside PM2.5 by 26.63 μg/m3 while increasing building-adjacent levels by 17.5 μg/m3; (2) shrubs outperformed trees in PM2.5 reduction (up to 65.34%), particularly when planted in inner rows, whereas tree crown morphology and spacing showed negligible effects; (3) densely spaced columnar trees optimize cooling, reducing Ta by 3–4.8 °C and the physiological equivalent temperature (PET*) by 8–12.8 °C, while planting trees on the outer row and shrubs on the inner row best balanced thermal and air-quality improvements; (4) each 1 m2/m3 leaf area density (LAD) increase yields thermal benefits (ΔTa = −1.07 °C, ΔPET* = −1.93 °C) but elevates PM2.5 by 4.32 μg/m3. These findings provide evidence-based vegetation design strategies for sustainable urban planning.
As urban buildings become increasingly dense, indoor personnel are often exposed to noise disturbances from adjoining rooms which can reduce working efficiency and affect mental health. Closing the door is one of the ways to reduce noise transmission, but it can cause a decrease in indoor air circulation. This paper investigates the sound insulation effect and air ventilation performance of a door in a partially open state by numerical simulation. To acquire the effect of sound insulation, an acoustic–structural solver is employed to calculate the sound transmission losses with different door opening angles in the frequency domain. To evaluate the ventilation performance, the mass flow rates across door opening are calculated by computational fluid dynamics. The simulation results confirm the trade-off relation between the sound insulation effect and the ventilation performance. To calculate the effect of noise and ventilation on work efficiency, a comprehensive evaluation index workplace environmental score (WES) was introduced and calculated by the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. A clear sound insulation effect corresponds to an opening angle (θd) of less than 15° with minimum air ventilation. Good ventilation performance could be obtained when the door opening angle is larger than 45°, while the sound insulation effect is negligible. A good compromise between the sound insulation effect and the air ventilation performance is found to be in the range of θd = 15°~25°, which provides practical recommendations in daily routines.
Continuous carbon anode roasting in industrial parks requires a stable high-temperature heat supply and remains highly dependent on grid electricity and natural gas. However, existing energy-system studies rarely coordinate hydrogen production and storage, volumetric hydrogen blending, and temperature-graded waste-heat recovery under continuous production constraints. To address this gap, this study proposes an electricity–heat–gas–hydrogen integrated energy system for carbon anode industrial parks and develops a 24 h multi-objective scheduling model. The model coordinates heat demands at different temperature levels with hourly electricity and hydrogen flows, using surplus photovoltaic power to produce hydrogen for later high-load periods. The selected scheme achieves a daily volumetric hydrogen-blending ratio of 10.79%, with an operating cost of 82,985.75 CNY and carbon emissions of 54,371.53 kg. Relative to an otherwise equivalent non-hydrogen configuration, hydrogen coupling provides additional reductions of 7.2% in operating cost and 2.3% in carbon emissions. Compared with a basic conventional configuration, operating cost and carbon emissions decrease by 27.9% and 26.0%, respectively. Cascade recovery also increases the daily waste-heat utilization rate by approximately 30 percentage points. These results show that the proposed scheduling framework can coordinate hydrogen utilization and graded waste-heat recovery while maintaining continuous carbon anode production.
