Base temperature should be chosen to coincide with the minimum energy consumption. In this way, changes in heating … and cooling requirements between the reference and the future period are calculated and areas about to undergo large …

. Calculations included pig number, slurry (manure water mixture) dilution, retention time and biogas/solar heating. Although using …:9 slurry dilution rate commonly used on pig farms. However, at a 1:3 slurry dilution, the use of solar heating to provide 90 …

The reduction of electricity use for heating and domestic hot water in cold climates can be achieved by: (1) reducing … the heating loads through the improvement of the thermal performance of house envelopes, and (2) using solar energy … a reference house for the study of long-term thermal storage. Third, the computer simulation of a solar heating system …

Earth-air heat exchange (EAHE) systems offer the possibility of reducing use of nonrenewable energy for heating … cold climates is small. Even less has been reported on their heating performance, but the available information suggests … heating with EAHE were found for cool climates. Four articles that addressed ground temperature effects with horizontal ground …

Solar air collectors have various applications: on the one hand, they can be used for air heating in cold seasons; on …

the system performance identifying the specific cooling power (<i>SCP</i>) and coefficient of performance (<i>COP</i>). A …

ceiling insulation on the cooling load of gable-roof residential buildings are investigated based on the simulation of … ceiling insulation. Furthermore, it is predicted that the ceiling insulation plays a control role on the attic cooling load … and that an increase of roof pitch from 3/12 to 8/12 results in a decrease in the cooling load by around 9% in the …
