The objective of this paper is to model and analyze the solar Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) engine for a geothermal air-conditioned net zero-energy building (NZEB) in a hot and humid climate. In the authors’ previous work, 11 fluids have been suggested to be employed in solar ORCs that use low or medium temperature solar collectors. In this paper, the system requirements needed to maintain the electricity demand of a commercial building have been compared for the 11 suggested fluids. The solar collector loop, building, and geothermal air conditioning system are modeled using TRNSYS with the required input for the ORC system derived from the previous study. The commercial building is located in Pensacola of Florida and is served by grid power. The building has been equipped with two geothermal heat pump units and a vertical closed loop system. The performance of the geothermal system has been monitored for 3 weeks. Monitoring data and available electricity bills of the building have been employed to calibrate the building and geothermal air conditioning system simulation. Simulation has been repeated for Miami and Houston in order to evaluate the effect of the different solar radiations on the system requirements.

The paper focuses on the analysis of reconstruction in terms of CO2 concentration. The reconstruction at the university included the exchange of windows. The original windows were exchanged for the modern wood tight windows. Providing CO2 concentration in the interiors of a university is immensely important for the students of the university. Not exceeding CO2 concentration limits is necessary not only for the physiological needs of students but also for the required performance of students. Teaching is conducted during the whole day in the researched university schoolroom. The short-term natural ventilation during the breaks is noticeably not sufficient. After 15 minutes from the beginning of the lesson, students started complaining about the air quality and they had to open the windows. To point out the unsustainable state of the poor air quality during the day-long teaching and to be able to prove the officials the importance of the continuation of the reconstruction by building mechanical ventilation or air conditioning system, there were carried out the experimental measurements in the schoolroom. The device Testo 480 was used for the measurements. Obtained values of CO2 concentration are presented in the charts. Interestingly, this reconstruction significantly decreased the air quality. The admissible values of CO2 concentration were exceeded after the first hours of teaching. These values were worsening with each additional hour of teaching. Therefore, another reconstruction is needed to enable the transition from natural ventilation to the mechanical ventilation system. In the conclusion of this paper, there are principles how to design new schoolrooms. Furthermore, there are presented recommendations how to operate the existing schoolrooms.

Based on a new type of sprayed liquid desiccant total heat recovery device, a liquid desiccant system combined refrigeration system with the independent humidity control (IHC) strategy is presented, in which the entire latent load and part of the sensible load are removed by liquid desiccant fresh unit combining heat pump (LFUH). The air-conditioning cooling load of a commercial building is simulated by DEST software. And the energy consumption is calculated respectively for conventional air conditioning system and IHC system. Compared with ordinary systems, IHC system can achieve savings of about 20% of the power consumption per annum. In addition, the average coefficient of chiller performance (COP) can increase about 13.5%. The result sows that IHC system has better application prospects.
