The construction sector has a significant and direct relationship with the development growth of countries. Meanwhile, population massive expansion buildings infrastructure projects keep up living standards, generating more waste. Knowing categorization for CDW is very important to get better information about waste have proper plan manage these wastes during process. This study aims categorize...

In commercial buildings, about 40%-50% of the total electricity consumption is attributed to Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, which places an economic burden on building operators. this paper, we intend minimize energy cost HVAC system in a multi-zone with consideration random zone occupancy, thermal comfort, indoor air quality comfort. Due existence unknown dynamics m...

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...

Within the energy research community, social sciences tends to be viewed fairly narrowly, often as simply a marketing tool to change the behavior of consumers and decision makers, and to “attack market barriers.” As we see it, social sciences, which draws on sociology, psychology, political science, business administration, and other academic disciplines, is capable of far more. A social scienc...

Growing concerns over the importance of reducing embodied carbon (EC1) buildings have led to a greater focus on EC-related research and policymaking. Nevertheless, Sri Lankan building sector is currently lagging behind this issue. While few studies been conducted EC impacts different buildings, further needed impact estimation in order inform policies guidelines reduction, with assessment or be...

With the introduction of volatile renewable energy sources into the grid, the need for inexpensive ancillary service increases. We propose a method to provide ancillary service by using the flexibility of demand in commercial building HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) systems. In particular, we show how a regulation command transmitted by a balancing authority can be tracked by vary...
