Electricity is one of the most important resources for the growth and sustainability of the population. This paper assesses the energy consumption and user satisfaction of a simulated air conditioning system controlled with two different optimization algorithms. The algorithms are a genetic algorithm (GA), implemented from the state of the art, and a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II) proposed in this paper; these algorithms control an air conditioning system considering user preferences. It is worth noting that we made several modifications to the objective function’s definition to make it more robust. The energy-saving optimization is essential to reduce CO2 emissions and economic costs; on the other hand, it is desirable for the user to feel comfortable, yet it will entail a higher energy consumption. Thus, we integrate user preferences with energy-saving on a single weighted function and a Pareto bi-objective problem to increase user satisfaction and decrease electrical energy consumption. To assess the experimentation, we constructed a simulator by training a backpropagation neural network with real data from a laboratory’s air conditioning system. According to the results, we conclude that NSGA II provides better results than the state of the art (GA) regarding user preferences and energy-saving.

For ocean-going vessels sailing in different areas on the sea, the change of external environment factors will cause frequent changes in load, traditional ship air-conditioning system is usually designed with a fixed cooling capacity, this design method causes serious waste of resources. A new type of sea-based air conditioning system is proposed in this paper, which uses the sea-based source heat pump system, combined with variable air volume, variable water technology. The multifunctional cabins’ dynamic loads for a ship navigating in a typical Eurasian route were calculated based on Simulink. The model can predict changes in full voyage load. Based on the simulation model, the effects of variable air volume and variable water volume on the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system are analyzed. The results show that: When the VAV is coupled with the VWV, the energy saving rate is 23.2%. Therefore, the application of variable air volume and variable water technology to marine air conditioning systems can achieve economical and energy saving advantages.

Abstract In the hotel business, the use of energy is very important, especially in the use of electricity, the portion of usage and allocation of funds for its provision is the largest. It can be seen that equipment such as lights, elevators, refrigerators, laundry, heaters, pumps, to the air conditioning system are some of the dominant tools in operations in the hospitality world. The results of the initial energy audit and detailed audit at the Grand Clarion Hotel Makassar showed that the Energy Consumption Intensity (IKE) is still far from the standard, which is 300 kWh / m2 a year. The building uses the largest amount of electricity in the Grand Clarion Hotel Makassar in Building A, which is in the Guest Room area of the air conditioning unit. The results of the initial energy audit of Energy Consumption Intensity (IKE) electricity were 336.84 kWh / m2 year. Whereas based on the results of a detailed energy audit the electricity consumption intensity (IKE) of electricity is 395.51 kWh / m2 a year. Energy Saving Opportunities (PHE) in this energy audit is to evaluate the AC power in each room and recommend the replacement of lamp types. From the results of the IKE calculation after the application of PHE, it is found that the value is still quite high so that efforts to save must still be done.

Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS) encourages the ECO Campus program. The program enables ITS to systematically identify, evaluate, manage and improve their environmental performance and practices. One of the program issue is energy saving in building. The energy saving effect of an air-conditioning system retrofit project is analyzed by Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECOs) Method. These ECOs are assessed in terms of their costs and benefits, and an economic comparison to rank the various refrigerants. Finally, an Action Plan is created where certain ECOs are selected for implementation. Civil Engineering Department has a responsibility to design infrastructure and green building concept planning. This department also has the largest energy consumption in this faculty comparing the other department. The energy consumption on this Department is 60829 kWh/month. The value of IKE is 13.39 per month with the largest electrical energy consumption in air-conditioning system is 57% from total consumption. The energy used of air-conditioning sytem is 523.692 kWh.

Central air-conditioning energy consumption accounts for a large proportion of the buildings. And cold and heat source energy consumption accounts for about two-thirds of central air-conditioning system. For a research and development center in Shanghai, because cold and heat source capacity largely surpasses the actual demand, we propose to combine with cold sources of the two buildings. We call it "two-in-one" reconstruction. When cooling load is small, we use cold source in one building to support the two buildings. After implementation, by return on investment analysis, the average electric energy-saving rate is 9.6%. Investment can be recovered within one year.
