The evaluation of the convenience of the house purchase needs to consider that technologies in construction have undergone a rapid change in recent times that proposes an approach to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2015 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Rainwater Harvesting System for School BuildingsManoj K. Jha, Nishant ShahFreshwater is becoming limited as our climate and weather pattern changes. In this study, a rainwater harvesting system was evaluated for collecting and utilizing rainwater for uses in non-potable purposes. Water-Balance was carried out for two design scenarios: Single tank and double tank, for irrigation in all main fields (202,724 ft2). The irrigation demand for the entire field was estimated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Sep 2015 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMIC MODELING AND GAIN SCHEDULING CONTROL OF A CHIILLED WATER COOLING SYSTEMJun Liu, M. ZaheeruddinA dynamic model of a Chilled Water (ChW) cooling system with a stratified ChW tank was developed. A PI-based Gain Scheduling (GS) control strategy was designed to improve thermal performance of the chiller system. Five different operation strategies were simulated and the energy consumption and cost of operating the system under full load and partial load conditions were compared.
