Air conditioning system consumes approximately 50% of the total energy consumption of buildings. Split-type air conditioner is the most widely used in residential and commercial buildings. As a result, enhancement on the performance of the air conditioners will yield a significant energy savings. The use of ejector as an expansion device on the split-type air conditioners is one method to increase the system performance. Exergy analysis on a split-type air conditioner uses an ejector as an expansion device at room and outdoor temperatures of 24 °C and 34 °C, respectively, yielded the percentage of exergy reduction up to 40.6%. Also, the exergy losses on in the compressor had the highest impact on the performance improvement of the split-type air conditioner.

Air conditioning plays a significant role to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions, However, the power consumed by the machine is higher. The commercial prevailing cooling systems are required to operate ventilation and cooling systems in buildings and in turn consumes more power. These systems apart from consuming electricity it also adds to the CO2 emissions to our environment. These energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be decreased by the assistance of energy effective frameworks to the prevailing air conditioning system. The study was conducted on a package unit of 414.2 kW by measuring the relative humidity, dry bulb, and wet bulb temperature to investigate the effect of indirect evaporative cooling on the systems COP. Also, the modelling of the package unit was done using Creo software and the analysis was carried out using ANSYS considering the flow and thermal analysis for different components of the package units. From this analysis it can be observed that by implementing the adiabatic cooling in package unit it is possible to save energy consumption. From the results it can be concluded that energy efficiency was more and the return on investment is high. Also, coefficient of performance of this machine is high and consumes less electricity and the expected energy savings is 20%.

There are two ejector configurations described in the present study: ejector refrigeration cycle and the ejector as an expansion device. The use of waste heat from the car engine and industry as a heat-driven energy for air conditioning system in automobile and building can save energy. Although the ejector refrigeration cycle has a low COP, the use of waste heat as a heat-driven energy incurs a lower operational cost compared with vapor compression refrigeration system. In addition, an ejector as an expansion device can be applied in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle to improve the performance system.

Energy crisis are deepening with every year passing by in a country like Pakistan. One of the major contributors of energy consumption in the domestic as well as in some commercial sector is the environment air conditioning (during summers) and heating systems (during winters). One possible solution to this national energy crisis is available in the form of tapping the available renewable natural resources of energy, specifically the Ground Water Heat Pumps (GWHP). Despite its wider applications in the advanced countries, the confidence in this technology is much feeble in less advanced countries, like Pakistan, mainly due to lack of awareness about the technology among the public and lack of subsoil temperature data for the scientific / engineering community. Thus, the aim of this study is to collect subsoil water temperature data of at least one particular location for over a year, and demonstrate the usefulness of sub soil ground water in improving the performance of conventional air-conditioning system both in cooling as well as in heating modes. This study shows significant improvement in the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the Air Conditioner both in Cooling as well as in heating modes and thus reducing the expensive electricity consumption.

Abstract The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT), establishes that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulate efficiency levels of certain commercial heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) and service water-heating (SWH) equipment categories. Initial minimum efficiency levels for products falling under these categories were established in EPACT, based on the requirements in ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-1989. EPCA requirements state that, if the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) amends efficiency levels prescribed in Standard 90.1-1989, then DOE must establish an amended uniform national manufacturing standard at the minimum level specified in amended Standard 90.1. On October 29, 1999, ASHRAE approved the amended Standard 90.1 (Standard 90.1-1999), which increases the minimum efficiency levels for some of the commercial HVAC and SWH equipment covered by EPCA 92. DOE asked Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)2 to conduct a screening analysis to determine the energy-savings potential of the efficiency levels listed in Standard 90.1-1999. The analysis estimated the annual national energy savings and carbon emissions reductions that would result if the EPACT-covered products were required to meet these efficiency levels, and additional energy-savings potential for these products if they exceeded these levels. From 2004 through 2030, the estimated national energy savings achieved by adopting Standard 90.1-1999 efficiency levels for spacecooling equipment is about 3 quadrillion Btu (quads3). The energy savings potential for space-heating equipment is about 0.5 quad and for water-heating equipment is about 0.06 quad. The cumulative commercial-sector building energy consumption during the same time period is estimated to be 485 quads. The total carbon emissions reduction is about 52 millions of metric tons (MMtons).

Abstract This research presents a solar hybrid air-conditioning system with R410a refrigerant. The sole aim was to compare the performance of a solar hybrid air-conditioner with that of the conventional split-unit air-conditioning systems in the market today. From the experiments conducted, the room temperature of a solar hybrid air conditioner was found to be :27.2, 27.0, 27.0, 27.2, 27.2, 27.0, 28.0, and 29.5 while that of the conventional air conditioner was found to be:69,66,64,66,73,69,66,62 indicating that solar hybrid system had lower values in terms of room temperature than that of the split units air conditioner. Laboratory results, field assessments, and simulations clearly established that hybrid air conditioners can deliver substantial energy savings and demand reduction. Therefore, in the present study, performance evaluation of the solar hybrid system with that of the split units is used to develop approximate analytical solutions for heat transfer in boundary layer flow and heat transfer.

Air Conditioning Systems

The energy consumption of the systems used in the heating, refrigerating, and air-conditioning field continues to increase. This necessitates improvements to the efficiency of these systems. However, in Japan, the performance of heating, refrigerating, and air-conditioning systems has already been improved greatly owing to the considerable efforts of manufacturers, the government, and academia. Therefore, it will not be easy to further decrease energy consumption simply by improving the efficiency of each system. In order to adhere to the demands of the worldwide energy saving policy, we need to investigate the best combinations and total energy management schemes for heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning systems. To this end, simulation holds greater promise than actual field-testing because it is not easy to carry out such experiments on actual large-scale systems. High-precision simulation models are necessary for these investigations. Hence, we are developing simulation models for a heat pump, room air-conditioner, desiccant dehumidifier, indirect evaporative cooler, fuel cell, solar panel, and so on. This paper describes high-accuracy simulation models for a CO2 heat pump, absorption heat pump, and desiccant dehumidification system. We also discuss the simulator that we have developed, based on those models. This simulator is called "Energy Flow + M". It is very easy to use because it has a user-friendly GUI. It has already been made available worldwide through the Internet. It is expected to be used to decrease the energy consumed by heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning systems.

The Impact

In present time, the environmental impact of green buildings on inner and outer climate has becomes more apparent. Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. Recently, the popularity of green roof is growing in the context of urban landscaping because of its smaller footprint, aesthetic value, insulation benefits and heat island mitigation impact. Greenery roofs are considered to be a part of new technology that allows the use of alternative vegetation. This paper will explore the potentials of using green roofs as an integral part of the building process to save energy. This paper will introduce the energy crisis and will focus on the current crisis in Egypt and the global UHI effect. It will also identify the impact of vegetation as a sustainable approach for UHI mitigation and energy savings. After addressing green roof types, and their functional, and environmental aspects in general. The paper distills these different types to enhance thermal performance in terms of indoor thermal comfort and energy savings with the integration of PV cells within green roof design. This will be empirically examined by DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus Simulation, to explore the possibilities of improving indoor thermal comfort within the studied types. Then the paper will be concluded by a set of recommendations for buildings within Egypt’s climatic settings.

Save Energy

In Taiwan, AC systems in buildings with central air conditioning account for over 45% of the total electricity consumed. Inefficient and poorly designed AC systems in existing buildings waste considerable amounts of money and energy. Therefore, retrofitting AC systems has become a widely adopted strategy to save energy while maintaining a comfortable indoor thermal environment. This study analyzes the potential energy savings and payback period of retrofitting AC systems in public buildings. In addition to the required Building Energy Management System (BEMS), several measures are introduced to reduce energy consumption during retrofitting. The main measures include testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of existing AC systems; replacing over-designed chillers with chillers with smaller capacity; installing frequency conversion in original systems, such that they become variable water volume (VWV) and variable air volume (VAV) systems; and utilizing CO2 concentration control and pre-cooling air systems. Based on analytical results, we conclude that AC system retrofitting can reduce total energy usage by 11.75%, while the average payback period for a retrofit project is 4.71 years, demonstrating that AC system retrofitting in Taiwan is economically sound.
