Energy usage modeling for heating and cooling of off-grid shelters

Off-grid Energy System Design for Residential Units

For decreasing the amount of air pollution and green gas emission and saving fossil fuels resource, one of the ways is extending renewable energy utilization. Hence, this yields to growth and development of Photovoltaic systems. Nowadays due to increasing electrical energy requirements and ability to privately providing required energy, the use of solar energy and its electrical power creativit...

Cooling and Heating with Ground Source Energy

In the recent attempts to stimulate alternative energy sources for heating and cooling of buildings, emphasis has been put on utilisation of the ambient energy from ground source and other renewable energy sources. Exploitation of renewable energy sources and particularly ground heat in buildings can significantly contribute towards reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This paper highlights the...

Grid Heating: Transforming Cooling Constraints Into Thermal Benefits

From 2006 to 2011 the U.S. national energy consumption for powering and cooling IT servers is estimated to grow from a cost of 4.5 to 7.4 billion dollars as reported by a recent EPA study [1] which included current efficiency improvement trends. With growing national concern for energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, current power utilization trends in HPC and data centers cannot cont...

District Heating and Cooling Enable Efficient Energy Resource Utilisation

Sustainable heating and cooling for cities

Over the past decades, Stockholm and Sweden have reduced CO2 emissions and increased resource efficiency, while maintaining high and sustainable economic growth. A major part of the recipe for success has been the development of the infrastructure for district heating and cooling. The district heating and cooling networks cover the Greater Stockholm Area. A set of large production plants, where...
