Book Synopsis Energy Performance Regulations and Methodologies of Energy Saving in Office Buildings in Southern Europe by : A. Tsave
Download or read book Energy Performance Regulations and Methodologies of Energy Saving in Office Buildings in Southern Europe written by A. Tsave and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and Council on energy performance of buildings entered into force on 4th January 2003, setting the minimum requirements of energy performance. All Member States had to incorporate the requirements of the new directive in national legislation by January 2006 and build up relevant systems and measures to transpose and implement these requirements. The stage of Directive's implementation in the countries of Southern Europe is reported because of the similar climatic conditions and the geographical location for a future enforcement in Greece, as the building code in Greece is still under development. As energy use in buildings accounts for about 40% of the final energy demand in the European Union, the application of building standards can achieve a reduction in electric energy consumption and therefore an increase in energy performance of buildings. A record of the electric energy consumption of office buildings in the four Prefectures of Crete is implemented aiming at a future energy saving, which may be obtained by either through increased efficiency or by reducing electric energy consumption.

Book Synopsis Building Energy Performance Assessment in Southern Europe by : Simone Ferrari
Download or read book Building Energy Performance Assessment in Southern Europe written by Simone Ferrari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the issues relevant to the evaluation of the thermal energy balance of buildings in southern Europe and equips readers to carry out optimal building energy-performance assessments taking into account the peculiarities of the climatic context. Evaluation of building energy performance in this region is complex, since the significant need for cooling means that the effect of thermal capacity, glazed surfaces and ventilation and shading strategies have to be carefully considered when determining the indoor operative temperatures. This is fully explained, and critical issues in the application of the commonly employed, simplified procedures and assumptions are identified. In addition to the theoretical analysis, there are case studies that explore the energy performances of a set of typical building typologies within the variability of the Italian climate, considered as representative of conditions in southern Europe. These descriptions will support energy consultants and other stakeholders in assessing building energy performances beyond the mere simplified standard assumptions. Furthermore, the numerous graphs and tables documenting data can be easily adopted to serve as design advice tools for both new constructions and retrofits.

Download or read book Promoting Healthy and Energy Efficient Buildings in the European Union written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking Climate Change Policy considers energy efficiency as one of the pillars to deliver the Energy Union and identify buildings as a sector with an important potential for further efficiency increase. Most of the energy used in buildings aims at guaranteeing conditions of well-being, comfort and health for the buildings' occupants. This creates the need and challenging endeavour to reconcile energy savings ambitions with the obligation to guarantee the conditions of growing-up, living working and learning in healthy indoor environments. EU Member States have been developing policies and measures to generally reduce the actual energy use of their buildings. They are called to properly implement and enforce the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast (2010/31/EU) without compromising the comfort, health and productivity of their occupants. The objective of this report is three-fold: (a) to present the outcome of the review carried out concerning the implementation status in the EU MS of the EPBD recast provisions relating to ventilation, indoor air quality and energy performance criteria and requirements; (b) assess whether the current implementation status can ensure avoidance of possible negative effects on the comfort, health and productivity conditions of the buildings' occupants in EU; (c) formulating policy and technical related recommendations to enable the effective implementation of healthy and energy efficient buildings in the EU.
Book Synopsis Energy Optimization and Prediction in Office Buildings by : Carlos Rubio-Bellido
Download or read book Energy Optimization and Prediction in Office Buildings written by Carlos Rubio-Bellido and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how energy demand and energy consumption in new buildings can be predicted and how these aspects and the resulting CO2 emissions can be reduced. It is based upon the authors’ extensive research into the design and energy optimization of office buildings in Chile. The authors first introduce a calculation procedure that can be used for the optimization of energy parameters in office buildings, and to predict how a changing climate may affect energy demand. The prediction of energy demand, consumption and CO2 emissions is demonstrated by solving simple equations using the example of Chilean buildings, and the findings are subsequently applied to buildings around the globe. An optimization process based on Artificial Neural Networks is discussed in detail, which predicts heating and cooling energy demands, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Taken together, these processes will show readers how to reduce energy demand, consumption and CO2 emissions associated with office buildings in the future. Readers will gain an advanced understanding of energy use in buildings and how it can be reduced.

This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.
