... facilities that provide the required cooling capacity for these buildings was addressed in the invited talks and the breakout discussions. Specifically, the impact of the latent heat on the urban heat island and outdoor air quality was addressed in the breakout sessions and during the panel discussions...

...Vaibhav Kumar Arghode In this study, three different approaches are investigated for keeping the roof cool and reducing the heat flow inside a building located in Kanpur, India. In the first approach, various reflective paints are investigated and their performance degradation over a year...

... were determined for passive solar as the heating source and ventilation as the cooling source in 11 US climate zones. (Sharp, M.K., 2012, “Indoor Comfort Achieved Exclusively from Ambient Sources Across US Climates,” ASME J. Sol. Energy Eng. 143 , (6), p. 061005.) It was noted that in hot climates...

... (Aw, Af, and As) and temperate (Cfa and Cfb) climates. The energy consumption using air-filled IGU was compared to its non-insulated version through computer simulation in E nergy P lus . This sample demonstrated that IGU could generate annual savings in cooling consumption in tropical climates (up...

... a − ) − ( m ˙ ∞ c a ( T ∞ − T a ) + ζ p Q p + ζ l Q l + ζ e Q e ) ) Perfect regulation gives useful estimates of peak heating and cooling loads. The internal sources are the heat flows Q c , Q p , Q l , and Q e from control systems...

...Yili Zhang; Sean Kissick; Hailei Wang City’s electricity power grid is under heavy load during on-peak hours throughout summer cooling season. As the result, many utility companies implemented the time-of-use rate of electricity leading to high electricity cost for customers with significant...

...Rabindra Pokhrel; Andy Walker; Jorge E. González As a consequence of the warm and humid climate of tropical coastal regions, there is high energy demand year-round due to air conditioning to maintain indoor comfort levels. Past and current practices are focused on mitigating peak cooling demands...
