Increasing attention has been given to energy utilization in Turkey. In this report, we present an energy efficiency evaluation and economic feasibility analysis of a geothermal heating and cooling system (GSHP) and a mechanical compression water chiller system (ACHP) to improve the energy utilization efficiency and reduce the primary energy demand for industrial use. Analyses of a mechanical w...

Demand for space cooling systems is growing worldwide. The main reasons are socioeconomic developments such as the world population and rise of economic wealth, especially in developing countries. These run simultaneously with global warming effects, increasing need cooling. This study introduces development Cooling Market Index (CDMI), which indicates demand appliances worldwide at a spatial r...

Utilization of wasted heat instead of fuel combustion is effective to reduce primary energy consumption for mitigating global warming problem. Because wasted heat sources are not necessarily located close to areas of heat demand, one of the difficulties is that wasted heat has to be transferred from heat source side to heat demand side, which may require heat transportation over long distance. ...

Climate change is expected to decrease heating demand and increase cooling demand for buildings and affect outdoor thermal comfort. Here, we project changes in residential heating degree-days (HDD) and cooling degree-days (CDD) for the historical (1981-2010) and future (2080-2099) periods in the United States using median results from the Climate Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) si...

In an effort to integrate the measurement of savings into the normal procedures of qualifying for utility incentives, New England Electric has developed stringent end-use metering requirements for the installation of all cool thermal storage systems. Payment of incentives has been made contingent upon successful demonstration of data collection capabilities. Measurements include total cooling s...
