Analysis of Energy Saving Potential in High-Performance Building Technologies under Korean Climatic Conditions

Energy Saving due to Combination of Atriums and Green Roofs: Case of a College Dormitory under Different Climatic Conditions

In the present study, the effect of simultaneous utilizing of atrium and green roof on the energy consumption of a college dormitory has been evaluated under three different climatic conditions of Iran, including Tehran, Tabriz, and Bandar Abbas. Therefore, four different construction designs on the basis of using atrium and green roof has been considerd for a college dormitory. Results indicat...

Whole Building Energy Simulation and Energy Saving Potential Analysis of a Large Public Building

By comparing EnergyPlus with other energy simulation tools, this paper explores how to use EnergyPlus to construct models to accurately simulate complex building systems as well as the interrelationships among sub-systems such as HVAC, lighting and service hot water systems. Then energy consumption and cost of a large public building is simulated and calculated for LEED certification using Ener...

The Effects of Different Protein and Energy Levels on Broilers Performance under Hot Climatic Conditions

ABSRACT The present experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of different protein and energy levels on broilers performance under hot climatic conditions. A total of three hundred Ross-308 chicks were selected on basis of uniform starting live bodyweight (45g/chick) proximately. Chicks were randomly divided into three treatments with five groups of 20 chicks per pen. Diets were formulated...

Performance Evaluation of Gladiolus Varieties under Diverse Climatic Conditions

Crop production is inherently sensitive to climatic variations. Flowers have been admired and used by human to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food. Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus Andrews; family Iridaceae) is an important bulbous cut flower grown all over the world. The present study was carried out to check the growt...
