Climate and Energy in Urban Areas to Reduce Energy Consumption, Case Study of Saadat Abad Building

Before the modern era, cities were built on a scale that did not change the environmental balance significantly. With the expansion of population and the expansion of cities and the conversion of settlements into big cities and metropolises, new conditions have emerged which show that cities today make their own climates. The new climates created in these areas are completely different from the...

Energy Conservation in Building

The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...

Estimation and Prediction of Residential Building Energy Consumption in Rural Areas of Chongqing

Energy simulation is a vital part of energy policy of a country, especially for a developing country like China where energy consumption is growing very rapidly. The present study has been conducted to simulate the total primary energy consumption in residential sector in rural areas in Chongqing by using macro and micro drivers including population size, number of households, persons per house...

Nutritional Quality of Quail Feeds Used in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas of Uganda: Chemical and Energy Composition

Quail production is steadily gaining importance in developing countries like Uganda, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. However, inappropriate feeding practices such as using the same feed classes across different growth stagesor beyond the recommended growth stageshave been reported among quail farmers. This study evaluated the nutritional properties of quail diets used in urban and p...
