Benchmarking the energy efficiency of commercial buildings
Benchmarking energy-efficiency is an important tool to promote the efficient use of energy in commercial buildings. Benchmarking models are mostly constructed in a simple benchmark table (percentile table) of energy use, which is normalized with floor area and temperature. This paper describes a benchmarking process for energy efficiency by means of multiple regression analysis, where the relat...
متن کاملDesign of an exhaust air energy recovery wind turbine generator for energy conservation in commercial buildings
The exhaust air energy recovery wind turbine generator is an on-site clean energy generator that utilizes the advantages of discharged air which is strong, consistent and predictable. Two vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in cross-wind orientation which are integrated with an enclosure are installed above a cooling tower to harness the discharged wind for electricity generation. It is mounted...
متن کاملEnergy Implications of Filtration in Residential and Light-Commercial Buildings
Higher-efficiency HVAC filters generally have a higher pressure drop and are widely assumed to increase energy consumption in smaller air conditioning systems. To explore the effects of filters in real buildings, we monitored 17 residential and light-commercial forced air cooling systems in Austin, TX. Measurements were made once per month for one year at each site with filters from three diffe...
متن کاملToward the design of zero energy buildings (ZEB) in Iran: Climatic study
In this research, a combination of passive and active methods is used to design a nearly zero energy building in four major climatic regions of Iran, including cold, mild, dry-warm, and wet-warm ones. The annual energy consumption analysis is performed using DesignBuilder® software. The passive strategies include Trombe Wall, blue roof, and thermochromic windows, and the active methods are usin...
متن کاملExperiences with Sensors for Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings
Buildings are amongst the largest consumers of electrical energy in developed countries. Building efficiency can be improved by adapting building systems to a change in the environment or user context. Appropriate action, however, can only be taken if the building control system has access to reliable real-time data. Sensors providing this data need to be ubiquitous, accurate, have low maintena...
