This book was released on 1999 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMHC funded this study to expand knowledge about the energy impact of operating ventilation systems that pressurize corridors in multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs). In the winter of 1997/98, a field test protocol to assess the impact of the corridor ventialtion system operation was developed and tested on a MURB. Building energy use was monitored with the corridor ventilation system operating one winter night and off the following night. This process was repeated over a range of temperatures. The tests provided real data on the energy impact of operating corridor ventilation systems. Monitoring data were compared with predictions from a computer model. The computer model proved not to be a useful tool for assessing the impacts of corridor ventilation on infiltration or building energy use. In the winter of 1998/99, the field protocol was tested on another four buildings to assess its applicability to buildings with different energy systems. Data analysis focused on time periods between midnight and early morning, when the impacts of solar gains and day-to-day variation in DHW loads and occupant activities (cooking, cleaning, clothes drying, weekends, holidays, etc.) were assumed to be minimized. Linear regression was applied to each data set (i.e., the fans-on data and the fans-off data) to mathematically define the relationships between outdoor temperature and energy use in each building. The field protocol was relatively straightforward and inexpensive to apply and could be done without use of expensive or high-tech monitoring equipment. The data analysis, done in a spreadsheet computer program, showed very good correlation between outdoor temperature and whole-building energy use and distinct relationships for the "fan on" and "fan off" operating condition. Observations made on the five study buildings were sufficiently similar to allow for general conclusions to be drawn about the impact of operating corridor ventilation systems on building energy use and whole-building air change rates. The observed increase in whole building energy use when the corridor ventilation systems were operated in the study buildings ranged from 60 to 90% of energy that would be required to condition the corridor ventilation system air flow. This energy increase was much bigger than expected, based on a fundamental analysis of the buildings. This leads to the conclusion that operating corridor ventilation systems does not appreciably increase indoor-to-outdoor pressure differentials across suite walls so does not displace significant amounts of infiltration. Turning the corridor ventialtion system off did not result in complaints about air quality during cold weather, but did when temperatures were above freezing. As such, turning corridor ventilation systems off may be an effective strategy for reducing energy consumption and peak energy demand during very cold weather.

Book Synopsis Research in Building Physics and Building Engineering by : Paul Fazio
Download or read book Research in Building Physics and Building Engineering written by Paul Fazio and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 1017 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings influence people. They account for one third of energy consumption across the globe and represent an annual capital expenditure of 7%-10% of GNP in industrialized countries. Their lifetime operation costs can exceed capital investment. Building Engineering aims to make buildings more efficient, safe and economical. One branch of this discipline, Building Physics/Science, has gained prominence, with a heightened awareness of such phenomena as sick buildings, the energy crisis and sustainability, and considering the performance of buildings in terms of climatic loads and indoor conditions. The book reflects the advanced level and high quality of research which Building Engineering, and Building Physics/Science in particular, have reached at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It will be a valuable resource to: engineers, architects, building scientists, consultants on the building envelope, researchers and graduate students.

Download or read book Global Energy Assessment written by GEA Writing Team and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options. It has been peer-reviewed anonymously by an additional 200 international experts. The GEA assesses the major global challenges for sustainable development and their linkages to energy; the technologies and resources available for providing energy services; future energy systems that address the major challenges; and the policies and other measures that are needed to realize transformational change toward sustainable energy futures. The GEA goes beyond existing studies on energy issues by presenting a comprehensive and integrated analysis of energy challenges, opportunities and strategies, for developing, industrialized and emerging economies. This volume is an invaluable resource for energy specialists and technologists in all sectors (academia, industry and government) as well as policymakers, development economists and practitioners in international organizations and national governments.

This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 2042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report provides a comprehensive and transparent assessment of the literature on climate change mitigation. The report assesses progress in climate change mitigation options for reducing emissions and enhancing sinks. With greenhouse gas emissions at the highest levels in human history, this report provides options to achieve net zero, as pledged by many countries. The report highlights for the first time the social and demand-side aspects of climate mitigation, and assesses the literature on human behaviour, lifestyle, and culture, and its implications for mitigation action. It brings a wide range of disciplines, notably from the social sciences, within the scope of the assessment. IPCC reports are a trusted source for decision makers, policymakers, and stakeholders at all levels (international, regional, national, local) and in all branches (government, businesses, NGOs). Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New thinking is essential if we are to design and occupy buildings that can keep us safe with unpredictable economies, climates, energy systems and resource challenges. For too long designers have relied on mechanical solutions for heating, cooling and ventilating buildings. The 21st century dream has to be of a better architecture that enables buildings to be run for as much of a day or year as possible on local, clean, reliable, affordable natural energy. Examples are included from different climates where the fundamental building design is right, its orientation, opening sizes, mass and its natural ventilation systems and pathways. Many modern buildings are poorly designed for climate as manifested by growing incidences of overheating experienced indoor, explored here. The inability of many rating systems to record and improve the climatic design of buildings raises questions about how they deal with issues of basic building performance. This books points the way towards how we can understand such problems, and move forward from over-mechanised poorly designed buildings to a new generation of adaptable buildings designed and refurbished to run largely on natural energy and capable of evolving over time to keep their occupants safe and comfortable, even in a warming world. The chapters were originally published in Architectural Science Review.
