Entry Form

All of public buildings, commercial building is a special type of energy consumption larger, especially the energy consumption of air conditioning. This paper illustrates entrance space of commercial building in cold region of China as the research project, studying its energy-saving design. Aiming at the problems existing in the present designs, this paper puts forward some targeted solution measures: adopt reasonable entry form, increase thermal damping space, expand the entrance area and make full use of solar energy. These measures can reduce the heat loss of the entrance space, improve thermal comfortableness, and achieve the goal of energy saving.

On the eve of the worldwide negotiations of a new climate agreement in December 2009 in Copenhagen it is important to clearly understand what Russia can do to mitigate energy-related greenhouse gas emissions in the medium (until 2020) and in the long term (until 2050). The paper investigates this issue using modeling tools and scenario approach. It concludes that transition to the "Low-Carbon Russia" scenarios must be accomplished in 2020—2030 or sooner, not only to mitigate emissions, but to block potential energy shortages and its costliness which can hinder economic growth.

Measured Energy

This paper provides an open dataset of measured energy use, solar energy production, and building air leakage data from a 328 m2 (3,531 ft2) all-electric, zero energy commercial building in Virginia, USA. Over two years of energy use data were collected at 1-hour intervals using circuit-level energy monitors. Over six years of solar energy production data were measured at 1-hour intervals by 56 microinverters. The building air leakage data was measured post-construction per ASTM-E779 Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate by Fan Pressurization and the United States Army Corps (USACE) Building Enclosure Testing procedure; both pressurization and depressurization results are provided. The architectural and engineering (AE) documents are provided to aid researchers and practitioners in reliable modelling of building performance. The paper describes the data collection methods, cleaning, and convergence with weather data. This dataset can be employed to predict, benchmark, and calibrate operational outcomes in zero energy commercial buildings.

Air Conditioning Systems

Desiccant air conditioning systems provide an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional methods of conditioning a building’s internal environment. Whilst conventional air conditioning systems rely on electrical energy to drive the cooling cycle, desiccant cooling is a heat driven cycle. As such, desiccant cooling provides an opportunity to be coupled with solar thermal collectors to reduce energy demands. This paper discusses the potential for a desiccant cooling cycle utilising solar thermal energy as the sole source of heat for regeneration of the desiccant. The study demonstrates that under the assumed design conditions this system will theoretically not require a regeneration heater. Installation of such a system in a commercial building would be extremely beneficial in reducing building’s energy consumption and therefore greenhouse gas emission.
