Energy saving in higher education institutions holds significant importance in the establishment of environmentally friendly and low-carbon societies, with the energy-saving behaviors of university students playing a pivotal role in the development of sustainable campuses. However, there is a clear need for customized strategies to encourage energy-saving habits among university students in areas of China with extreme weather conditions, such as hot summers and cold winters. This study offers a thorough examination of the literature regarding energy-saving behaviors among college students and presents a new theoretical framework based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).

The dynamic heat transfer of building surfaces has thermal conduction, convection and radiation at the same time. It is the basis of building thermal environment simulation, air conditioning load calculation, building energy analysis and air conditioning system conservation operation. Under cyclic heat flow, the convection and radiation separating method was used to calculate the radiation heat and convection heat of building surfaces, and dynamic characteristics of convection heat and radiation heat on building surfaces was provided in this paper.
