Book excerpt: Sun is the basic source of energy on Earth - be it conventional fossil fuels or the non-conventional Renewable Energy Sources. Most Renewable Energy Technologies are in a budding stage. The diffused, dilute, intermittent and variable, season and region dependent nature of most renewable energy sources imposes obvious challenges in their utilization.Also, Fuel-switching does not happen overnight. The transition of a new, better, non-conventional, i.e. commercially untried and growing technology into a conventional, techno-commercially viable and accepted technology is a challenging transformation on a mass scale. It requires research and development along with systematic planning and implementation of smooth supplementing of / taking over of one established system by another, new one, with considerably different concepts, features, components and systems. New standards and methods need to be established and training programmes have to be conducted for the new systems.The key to studies in Solar Energy Utilization and Solar Energy Technology lies in understanding the quality, quantum and pattern of availability of Solar Energy at a given location on Earth's surface. The present book gives the fundamental concepts of Solar Energy availability and availability patterns with respect to geographical and climatic conditions under which the Solar Energy Utilization system is located.The topics include: THE SOLAR ENERGY OPTIONSOLAR ENERGY ON EARTH: EARTH'S ROTATIONEARTH'S REVOLUTIONImportant positions in Earth's path of RevolutionExtra-terrestrial Energy FluxSolar ConstantTILT OF EARTH'S AXISSolstice And EquinoxSPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOLAR RADIATIONSOLAR RADIATION ON EARTH'S SURFACEMEASUREMENT OF SOLAR RADIATIONPYRANOMETERSPYRHELIOMETERSSUNSHINE DURATION MEASUREMENTSSOLAR ANGLESBASIC ANGLESLatitude-LongitudeDeclinationHour AngleLocal Solar TimeEquation of TimeDERIVED ANGLESRelated to relative position of SunRelated to the orientation of surface intercepting solar radiationRELATIONS BETWEEN BASIC AND DERIVED ANGLESGENERAL EQUATION FOR ANGLE OF INCIDENCEDAY LENGTHThe special feature of this book is the simplicity, lucidity and precise presentation of facts.

Book Synopsis Solar Radiation and Daylight Models by : Tariq Muneer
Download or read book Solar Radiation and Daylight Models written by Tariq Muneer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest in energy efficiency and solar design, architects and designers need a practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data. There are many different models and techniques available for calculating the distribution of solar radiation on and in buildings, and these algorithms vary considerably in scope, accuracy and complexity. This book demonstrates which of these predictive tools gives the best results in different circumstances, including explaining which models can be best used in different parts of the world. The author has had over twenty-five years of experience of dealing with solar energy data from four continents and has used that experience in this book to show the development not just of knowledge but also the growing sophistication of the models available to apply it.

Book Synopsis Architectural Science and the Sun by : Dason Whitsett
Download or read book Architectural Science and the Sun written by Dason Whitsett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural Science and the Sun synthesizes physics, climate, program, and perception to provide a foundation in the principles of architectural science related to the sun: solar geometry, solar analysis and design techniques, passive design principles, and daylighting. Part analytical handbook, part inspiration source for schematic design, the content comprises a critical component of effective sustainable design. Beyond the purely technical aspects of these topics, Architectural Science and the Sun begins with the premise that great architecture goes beyond energy performance and the visual-aesthetic to engage all of the senses. Given that the stimuli to which our senses respond are physical phenomena such as light, heat, and sound, the designer must manipulate these parameters through the craft of building form and technology to create the desired qualitative experience. This book is designed to help the reader develop that skill.
Book Synopsis Overhang Design Methods by : Sanja Stevanovic
Download or read book Overhang Design Methods written by Sanja Stevanovic and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that windows in office buildings are responsible for one third of energy used for their heating and cooling. Designing window shading that balances often contradictory goals of preventing excessive heat gains in hot periods, without compromising beneficial heat gains in cold periods or visual comfort in indoor spaces of modern buildings with highly glazed facades, is an interesting multi-objective optimisation problem that represents an active research topic in the field of building energy and daylighting. Window overhangs are the simplest and most traditional shading devices that are easy to install, highly cost-effective, require low or no maintenance and offer unobstructed views outside. This book provides a review of overhang design methods for optimal thermal and daylighting performance. It starts with a historical overview of methods based on solar positions and shading masks. Next it discusses current research methodology, including shading calculation methods, ways of quantifying thermal and daylighting overhang effectiveness and the use of multi-objective optimisation approaches, together with the case studies that employ them. It further covers methods for designing innovative overhang types such as NURBS outlined overhangs and PV integrated dynamic overhangs. The appendix classifies published overhang case studies according to major climate type and latitude of their locations. As such, the book presents a valuable resource for understanding subtle nuances of interaction between solar radiation, shading devices and indoor comfort. The intended target audience are building energy researchers interested in optimisation of window shading devices.

Book Synopsis Pedagogical Experiments in Architecture for a Changing Climate by : Tülay Atak
Download or read book Pedagogical Experiments in Architecture for a Changing Climate written by Tülay Atak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a series of pedagogical experiments translating climate science, environmental humanities, material research, ecological practices into the architectural curriculum. Balancing the science and humanities, it exposes recent pedagogical experiments from renown educators, while also interrogating a designer’s agency between science and speculation in the face of climate uncertainty. The teaching experiments are presented across four sections: Abstraction, Organization, Building, and Narrative, exposing core parts of an architect’s education and how educators can simultaneously provide fundamental skills and constructive literacy while instigating environmental sensibilities. Chapters cover issues such as an unstable hydrosphere, water infrastructure, remediating materials, methods of disassembly and adaptive reuse, as well as constructing new aesthetic categories of climate change, and implementing oral histories of construction, among many others. Written and edited by expert design educators actively engaged in experimenting in new forms of pedagogy, this book will be of great use to architecture instructors at all levels looking to renew their teaching practices to more directly address the climate emergency. It will also appeal to those academics across the built environment interested in the ways design can affect and adapt to climate change.
