Abstract：The total energy consumption of heating and air conditioning system is one of the important parameters for building performance evaluation, and it is also the main control index for building energy saving and emission reduction. The shape coefficient and the building orientation are important factors to affect the building energy consumption, and are significant for building energy conservation. A typical slab-type residential building in Wuhan is chosen as an example, the energy consumption simulation software PKPM is applied to analyze annual heating and air conditioning energy consumption of the building under different shape coefficients and orientations. The research shows that the shape coefficient and the orientation have an obvious influence on the building energy consumption. The conclusion is derived that the 10 degrees south by east is the best orientation of slab-type residential buildings in Wuhan.
