Abstract
With the meteorological data of the ten representative cities from nine typical climate zones of North America as the external conditions, timber and timber units are set as reference models and, accordingly bamboo and bamboo units of the same construction and space size as evaluation models. The performance on levels of material, building component, and space unit are compared, with comprehensive consideration of the representative conditions in terms of the external climate, building function, construction type and HVAC. The reference timber units for comparison are set as benchmarks to provide performance assessment on the application of bamboo in building envelope.
