Estimating Heating and Cooling Loads of Energy Efficient Buildings with Tidy Models

District Heating and Cooling Enable Efficient Energy Resource Utilisation

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...

Passive cooling methods for energy efficient buildings with and without thermal energy storage – A review

This paper reviews the various possible methods of passive cooling for buildings and discusses the representative applications of each method. Passive cooling techniques are closely linked to the thermal comfort of the occupants, and it is possible to achieve this comfort by reducing the heat gains, thermal moderation and removing the internal heat. In the present review the various methods ado...

Impact of Climate Change Heating and Cooling Energy Use in Buildings in the United States

Global warming has drawn great attention in recent years because of its large impact on many aspects of the environment and human activities in buildings. One area directly affected by climate change is the energy consumption for heating and cooling. To quantify the impact, this study used the HadCM3 Global Circulation Model (GCM) to generate weather data for future typical meteorological years...
