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 …

based on the assumption that the clothing insulation is equal to a constant value of 0.5 clo during the cooling season and 1 ….0 clo during the heating season. The assumption is not reflected in practice and thus it may lead to errors. In reality …, EnergyPlus version 6.0. The results showed that when the heating ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) is controlled …

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 … the TRNSYS software. Second, several design alternatives with improved thermal resistance for walls, ceiling and windows …

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 …

-support model was developed to assist in the design of biogas reactors capable of meeting households’ year-round energy needs …. 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 …

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 …
