Due to the construction industry, increase in energy demands from population, and economic growth Vietnam, need for efficient buildings has increased. An analysis of Vietnam’s regulations standards related building shows that current technology level is similar Korea 1980s, so it needs upgrade its technology. Using Korea’s advanced technology, will be possible satisfy buildings. In a prior stud...

Buildings consume about 41.1% of primary energy and 74% of the electricity in the U.S. Better or even optimal building energy control and operation strategies provide great opportunities to reduce building energy consumption. Moreover, it is estimated by the National Energy Technology Laboratory that more than one-fourth of the 713 GW of U.S. electricity demand in 2010 could be dispatchable if ...

recycling process is one of the most important processes in the trend of sustainable development,a logical reaction against the problems that results from industrial age. building materials can play an important rolein the process of a building formation or destruction, in fact, materials forms the building nature. thus, the role ofmaterial and the impact of its recycling in sustainable develop...

This paper discusses modelling methodology of the energy use of a certain amount of building stock at the city/regional/national level. In the methodology, building stock is divided into several stock categories and unit energy consumption for each category is quantified by performing simulations using prototypical building models as simulation input each representing a building stock category....

Energy simulation models are developed with EnergyPlus for two office buildings in a R&D center in Shanghai, China to evaluate the energy cost savings of green building design options compared with the baseline building. As a R&D center of an international IT corporation, there are data centers in the two buildings, which make them different from typical office buildings. The data centers house...

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...
