Electric lighting is a key energy-efficient design measure aimed at delivering sufficient illumination while minimising energy consumption. In pursuit of this objective, adherence to the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommended lighting power density (LPD) target for diverse residential space types...
Educational buildings have a large share and impact on urban development. While research shows a significant portion of non-industrial energy consumption in these buildings, obtaining optimal thermal comfort in educational buildings remains one of the ma
Z. Umrani, in Cost-Effective Energy Efficient Building Retrofitting, 2017 Abstract The building sector consumes approximately one-third of global primary energy. The energy and environmental performance of buildings for all their energy uses have to be revisited. Building energy retrofitting provides ...
while most small-scale projects rarely have a budget enough for hiring professional consultants. For this problem, energy-efficient buildings are the ideal solution, along with the use of efficient materials. Unlike ordinary buildings, the design for energy-efficient buildings must start early in the...
QKE-ABO is an attempt to develop a user-friendly, robust, efficient, effective, simple-to-implement algorithm that demonstrates exceptional capacity in selecting the optimal parameters. The flowchart used to implement it is given Figure 5. Figure 5. Flowchart of QKE-ABO. The steps of the ...
First, the range of the objective functions over the efficient set is not optimized. In this regard, a lexicographic optimization approach can be used to solve this problem (Khaloie et al., 2022). Secondly, the solutions obtained using the ɛ-constraint approach can be the dominant solutions...
Distributed energy resource management: SMGs can use advanced algorithms to optimize the operation of distributed energy resources, to ensure the most efficient use of available resources. Power quality management: SMGs can use advanced control systems to maintain a stable and reliable power supply, eve...
Disclosed examples include an adaptive energy system whereby resource use can be optimized by influencing a communication path to utilize a subset of available resources in an efficient manner. Quality metrics are monitored such that optimization measures are implemented only if they do not negatively ...
A hydro-electric plant provides an efficient form of energy storage, where the water is pumped back to a reservoir at a higher level using excess power generated during a period when demand is lower. The stored energy can be easily tracked by monitoring the volume of water pumped. New high...
摘要:This paper presents the development of an energy efficient window frame made of a glass fibre reinforced polyester (GFRP) material. Three frame proposals were considered. The energy and structural performances of the frames were calculated and compared with wooden and aluminium reference frames. ...
