Study on Energy Consumption Characteristics of Air Conditioning in an Existing Residential Building

The Study of Thermostat Impact on Energy Consumption in a Residential Building by Using TRNSYS

The present study investigates the effectiveness of thermostat control strategy in cooling energy consumption in residential buildings. To evaluate the energy consumption, two scenarios including a residential zone with and without the thermostat control system are assumed. The TRNSYS software provides an efficient numerical tool to model and evaluate a cooling system. Furthermore, since solar-...

Management of electric and thermal energy consumption in residential building

In residential section, Studies have shown that, along with the use of various household consumption management techniques, the so-called hubs of energy can also be used to improve the performance and management of home energy management. In each electrical energy system, customers are aiming to minimize their energy costs. In this paper, it can be seen that in each home a home-made residential...

Estimation and Prediction of Residential Building Energy Consumption in Rural Areas of Chongqing

Energy simulation is a vital part of energy policy of a country, especially for a developing country like China where energy consumption is growing very rapidly. The present study has been conducted to simulate the total primary energy consumption in residential sector in rural areas in Chongqing by using macro and micro drivers including population size, number of households, persons per house...

Air-conditioning: Energy Consumption and Environmental Quality

Effective energy consumption parameters in residential buildings using Building Information Modeling

Building information modeling can help in predicting the energy efficiency in future based on dynamic patterns obtained by visualization of data. The aim of this study was to investigate the effective parameters of energy consumption using BIM technology which can evaluate the buildings energy performance. First, three forms of general states in the building were modeled to evaluate the propose...
