Heat Gain

In recent years, Guwahati city is witnessing a rapid urban growth due to ever-increasing human population sacrificing existing green pockets. This constant increase of built form is resulting in environmental imbalances and microclimate changes, contributing in a rise of indoor air temperature and that ultimately results a gradual increase in the energy consumption to maintain indoor thermal comfort in the inner-city areas. Although the urban growth pattern of Guwahati is controlled by prevailing GMDA building bye-laws, these building parameters are unable to control the organic growth of the city since there is no climate-sensitive approach available in the GMDA bye-laws. This paper aims to discuss the energy use in the building envelope by analysing the energy efficiency of a residential apartment building of Guwahati and reviews most common energy efficient codes that influences the heat gain or loss, natural ventilation, and day lighting, which, in turn, determines indoor temperatures, thermal comfort, and sensible cooling or heating demand inside urban residential buildings. Four relationships of building parameters are studied and analysed their impact on energy use. The amount of heat gain or loss, natural ventilation and day lighting that are allowed by building envelop will be calculated for each relationships and compared. All the relationships specify building envelope design that helps to improve the energy efficiency in residential building, but none suggested a basis for its proportion. This paper analyses the use of daylight and natural ventilation within a building envelope helps to minimise the energy consumption. A climate conscious urban design approach associating common energy codes such as window to floor area (WFR) ratio, Visual light transmittance (VLT) and residential envelope transmittance value (RETV) against average daylight and natural ventilation can be utilised as preliminary urban design techniques in development control regulations especially in the residential zones in the inner-city areas of Guwahati metropolitan development authority (GMDA).

Heat Meters

One of the main energy saving objectives is to find methods for metering individual heat consumption in each apartment of an apartment building. Achievements in the area of microprocessor devices made it possible to create a new type of measurement and control systems for monitoring and metering energy resources. Newly developed heat meters are the ground for fundamental changes in energy saving and energy efficiency. Apartment buildings are heated by various hot water distribution systems, for which it is not always possible to use conventional heat meters. The ambiguity related to the parameters of heat meters can adversely affect the estimation of heat consumption by each apartment in an apartment building. This paper is aimed at analyzing a new contact temperature measurement method and means used to create a system for heat monitoring and metering in an apartment building. The developed system can be used to meter energy resources of facilities distributed in a specific area, with geographic referencing to each facility. This makes it possible to remotely monitor heat energy consumption, which makes the energy consumption control system much more transparent and ensures public control. The system gathers data from a large number of users, processes data in real time and promptly responds to users’ requests based on recent developments in information technology. An important advantage of the developed system is that it can be used to anticipate emergency situations taking into account various factors, such as weather conditions and the age of buildings. Due to all of the above, the system can be used in the future not only in Russia but also abroad.
