In modern life, factories and household electricity consume the largest amount of electric power, especially in summer. The continuous operation of air-conditioning system increases the heat in the environment and speeds up energy consumption as well. Therefore, in order to promote ecological balance, reduce carbon dioxide emission, and establish no pollution living environment, this study used green energy power generation technology, rainwater collection system, automatic light sensor-controlled curtain, infrared-controlled light, temperature sensor-controlled air-conditioning system, anti-theft system, and smoke-sensing device as effective devices for utilization of green energy. The rainfall collection system can increase the utilization of water resource. The curtain with light sensors, illumination system, and air-conditioning system can effectively save energy. The anti-theft system and smoke sensing device can both ensure the safety of living environment and achieve the objective of energy saving and carbon reduction, which can make the future living environment become more comfortable, energy-saving, and environmental-friendly. In addition, the devices above can also make contribution environmental protection of the earth and preserve a clean, beautiful, and sustainable environment for future generations.

Climate change is becoming a highlight of the world. As the world's second largest CO2 emission country, China faces increasing pressure. Energy consumption and utilizing is the major source of CO2 emissions. Optimization of the regional energy configuration can not only reduce energy consumption, but also reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, it will achieve energy conservation and sustainable development. Based on the Eco-city constructed by China and Sino-Singapore, this paper calculates the regional energy-saving under the requirement of existing Energy Conservation Code, plans its energy saving quantity by taking some measurements and then predicts the carbon dioxide emission reductions. The result shows that using effective measures to save energy can reduce 227772t carbon dioxide emissions. Using renewable energy and energy saving measures will reduce 371414t CO2, which has a striking effect. So changing energy structure and using renew energy are main measures to reduce CO2 emission.

Air Conditioning System

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.

Improved Firefly Algorithm

Reasonable distribution of cooling load between chiller and ice tank is the key to realize the economical and energy-saving operation of ice-storage air-conditioning (ISAC) system. A multi-objective optimization model based on improved firefly algorithm (IFA) was established in this study to fully exploit the energy-saving potential and economic benefit of the ISAC system. The proposed model took the partial load rate of each chiller and the cooling ratio of the ice tank as optimization variables, and the lowest energy consumption loss rate and the lowest operating cost of the ISAC system were calculated. Chaotic logic self-mapping was used to initialize population to avoid falling into local optimum, and Cauchy mutation was used to increase the population’s diversity to improve the algorithm’s global search ability. The experimental results show that compared with the operation strategy based on constant proportion, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and firefly algorithm (FA), the optimal operation strategy based on IFA can achieve more significant energy-saving and economic benefits. Meanwhile, the convergence accuracy and stability of the algorithm are significantly improved. Practical application: The optimized operation strategy of the ice-storage air-conditioning system can reduce energy loss and operating costs. The traditional operation strategies have the problems of low optimization precision and poor optimization effect. Therefore, this study presents an optimal operation strategy based on IFA. The convergence accuracy and stability of the algorithm are increased after the algorithm is improved. The operation strategy can get the maximum energy-saving effect and economic benefit of the ISAC system.
