Download or read book Urban Heat Stress and Mitigation Solutions written by Vincenzo Costanzo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with an understanding of the impact that different morphologies, construction materials and green coverage solutions have on the urban microclimate, thus affecting the comfort conditions of urban inhabitants and the energy needs of buildings in urban areas. The book covers the latest approaches to energy and outdoor comfort measurement and modelling on an urban scale, and describes possible measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of the mutual interaction between urban settlements and local microclimate. Despite its relevance, only limited literature is currently devoted to appraising—from an engineering perspective—the intertwining relationships between urban geometry and fabrics, energy fluxes between buildings and their surroundings, outdoor microclimate conditions and building energy demands in urban areas. This book fills this gap by first discussing the physical processes that govern heat and mass transfer at an urban scale, while emphasizing the role played by different spatial arrangements, manmade materials and green infrastructures on the outdoor microclimate. The first chapters also address the implications of these factors on the outdoor comfort conditions experienced by pedestrians, and on the buildings’ energy demand for space heating and cooling. Then, based upon cutting-edge experimental activities and simulation work, this book demonstrates current and forthcoming adaptation and mitigation strategies to improve the urban microclimate and its impact on the built environment, such as cool materials, thermochromic and retroreflective finishing materials, and green infrastructures applied either at a building scale or at the urban scale. The effect of these solutions is demonstrated for different cities worldwide under a range of climate conditions. Finally, the book opens a wider perspective by introducing the basic elements that allow fuel poverty, raw materials consumption, and the principles of circular economy in the definition of a resilient urban settlement.
Download or read book Indoor and Outdoor Radiant Cooling Systems for Buildings written by Ardeshir Moftakhari and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for a major portion of overall energy consumption in buildings. Most HVAC systems use conventional and well established all-air thermal distribution systems that rely on convection as the major heat transfer mechanism for heat extraction. However, energy conservation efforts encouraged research related to radiant systems that can improve efficiency of HVAC systems. Radiant systems can be integrated into the building envelope by means of radiant cooling panels or slabs. These systems can increase the efficiency of the HVAC system by allowing chillers to operate more efficiently at a higher chilled water temperature compared to all-air systems. Another example of using radiative heat transfer for energy efficiency is in systems that use exterior spectrally-selective surfaces to intensively radiate heat to the outer space under suitable atmospheric conditions or passive radiative cooling (PRC). These systems utilize materials with high albedo coating and emit thermal infrared radiation that exploits the atmospheric window, resulting in sub-ambient surface temperatures, even during sunny days. Both indoor and outdoor radiant cooling systems need further development before they show full potential for increasing building energy efficiency. However, there are many questions about these systems that need to be addressed. For indoor radiant cooling systems, there is no clearly defined design process. Currently, design relies on procedures developed for all air systems, which in some situations are systems that cannot deliver the load when considering effective control of indoor environmental conditions. Also, there is a need for better understanding of the dynamics of heat transfer in rooms with radiant cooling systems and inclusion of this into the design procedure. When considering novel outdoor radiant cooling systems, all engineering aspects of these systems are very much unknown as these systems just emerged and there are few full-scale prototypes. From the theoretical studies (Zhu et al., 2013), we know that these PRC systems that are based on selective surfaces can produce cooling power of up to 100 (W/m2); however, there is little to no information how ambient condition, application specifics, and material affects performance of these systems. Additionally, there are no models associated with selective PRC films that can be implemented in the design or energy performance modeling tools. My PhD thesis work utilizes the state-of-the-art facilities, such as Thermal Façade lab and Roof Testing lab at the University of Texas at Austin, to conduct a set of full-scale experiments and combine experimental results with analytical and numerical modeling to address several research and engineering challenges related to the system design process, operation and energy performance. Specifically, my dissertation: (a) investigates the complex heat transfer dynamics of spaces conditioned with radiant cooling panels, (b) develops a system design that integrates building thermal response to these radiant cooling systems, (c) advances the system control strategy by integrating all influencing parameters in the model that provides optimal thermal comfort and energy saving, (d) evaluates thermal performance of PRC-based roofs in a full-scale prototype, and (e) develops sky radiation models for energy analysis of the PRC-based roofing technology. The research builds upon fundamental science and principles while the findings are incorporated in the ASHRAE and other relevant building design guidelines used worldwide by HVAC designers and practitioners

Download or read book Exergy written by Masanori Shukuya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people, professionals and non-professionals alike, recognize that it is of critical importance to solve global energy and environmental issues. For this purpose, it is essential to have a scientific understanding of what is meant by the “energy” issue is and the “environmental” issue. The concept of “exergy” is a scientific concept that exactly fits. The concept of ‘energy’ is a scientifically-well established concept, namely ‘to be conserved’. Then the question is what is really consumed. Exergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment is dedicated to answer this fundamental question by discussing the theory of “exergy” and by demonstrating its use extensively to describe a variety of systems in particular for built-environmental conditioning. Our immediate environmental space works within the flow of energy and matter in an “exergy-entropy” process, and the built environment can be designed with these energy & environmental issues in mind. Exergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment introduces readers who are not familiar with thermodynamics to the concept of exergy with a variety of discussion on the built-environmental space such as heating, cooling, lighting, and others. Readers, including students, researchers, planners, architects and engineers, will obtain a better picture of a sustainable built-environment.
