Energy & BuildingsComparing micro-scale weather data to building energy consumption in Singapore. LIU Y Z,STOUFFS R,TABLADA A,et al. Energy and Build . 2016Liu Y, Stouffs R, Tablada A, Wong NH, Zhang J. (2017). Comparing micro-scale weather data to building energy consumption in ...
By mandating energy efficiency standards, promoting best practices, and incentivising adoption of green technologies, Singapore’s Green Building Masterplan is accelerating built environment sustainability in line with its ‘80-80-80 by 2030’ goal.
“The Zero Energy Building is a test bed for the green building technologies in the tropics,” Letchimi Palanisamy said. “If they are successfully commercialized, they will help Singapore cut its energy consumption in the buildings by 50%.” 1. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on...
Energy consumption was evaluated via a parametric simulation using the program DOE2.1B. Fanger's equation of comfort was applied to the resulting environment associated with each parametric design to evaluate its degree of thermal comfort. Energy-conserving measures applied to the reference building (...
Worker density and years after the last major energy retrofit were also found to be highly correlated to hotel building energy use intensity. Also discussed in this paper is the effect of weather conditions on electricity consumption of the hotels....
TAS and CFD software were utilized to calculate energy consumption, thermal comfort and condensation for single glazed facade building as well as double glazed facade building. The simulation results showed double glazed facade with natural ventilation were able to minimize energy consumption as well as...
Hotel buildings are reported in many countries as one of the most energy intensive building sectors. Besides the pressure posed on energy supply, they also have adverse impact on the environment through greenhouse gas emissions, wastewater discharge and so on. This study was intended to shed some...
Buildings have time-varying interactions with the local climate condition for the heating or cooling systems; changes of the surrounding climate condition affect building energy consumption. Based on the thermal envelope approach, which considers the heat gain by conduction and radiation through the wall...
This is about 5% of the country’s total energy consumption, equivalent to powering 88,000 four-room flats. Singapore’s Floating Solar Test-Bed “As an Asian megacity, Singapore will always be space-constrained, which then requires some ‘out of the box thinking’ when it comes to solar ...
2017, Energy Citation Excerpt : As a city-state with little land mass, the use of air-conditioning in Singapore has become a norm in its buildings. The electricity demands for cooling in building sectors accounted for 31 ± 2% of total electricity consumption in all sectors in Singapore [1–...
