This paper identifies the dilemma faced by the stakeholders of existing buildings in regards to a decision making process for energy retrofitting. This paper also identifies the missing stage viewed as the “integrity audit “which can lead to substantial savings in the area of building operation. The methodology is centered on identifying energy waste first, reducing the overall peak electrical ...

Energy conservation is one of the key priorities of sustainable development strategy. Transport systems are responsible for about one third of energy consumption. As result, the identification of solutions to reduce energy consumption in these systems is essential for the implementation of the sustainable development strategies. The present work is dedicated to identifying the possibilities for...

Industrial energy consumption lies between 30% and 70% of the total energy consumed in selected countries. Cement production is one of the most energy intensive industries all around the world. This paper deals with an energy audit analysis in a cement plant in Iran. In all recent works, after performing an energy audit, different strategies are offered to reduce energy losses. Generally, t...

The energy audit for a building is a procedure designed mainly to obtain adequate knowledge of the energy consumption profile, identify, and quantify opportunities for energy savings by a cost-benefit analysis and report, clearly and comprehensively, about the obtained results. If the audit is referred to a building with a significant historical and artistic value, a compatibility evaluation of...

This study conducted an electrical energy audit activity at the Pakuwon City Mall 2 (PCM2) Surabaya Building to determine utilization of in system which includes type energy, amount used, equipment, intensity, load profile, performance Energy Saving Opportunities (ESOs) and value Consumption Intensity (ECI) air-conditioned room. From calculation results is obtained that ECI PCM2 for AC room 8.2...

the continuous improvement of eaf performance is crucial for the increase in productivity and cost effectiveness and to render an environmental friendly process. rhi supports these targets by providing a diverse range of refractory and process solutions. chemical energy in practical operation by injection of gaseous media like oxygen and natural gas, and solid materials like carbon have become ...

In this paper, an optimal design of the renewable combustion plant has been investigated with the aim of ensuring the required load on the Gorgor station. The purpose of this study is to minimize the cost of the proposed hybrid unit during the period of operation of the designed system simultaneously. Information on the intensity of solar radiation and the intensity of wind blowing in the area ...

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty aci...

introduction in the wastewater treatment industry, the general attentionis mostly paidto the effluent quality standards. regardless of energy consumption, the treatment plants have been designed based on experience rather than the latest scientific findings.the treatment plants are considered as a part of energy equipment which largely consumed electrical energy.thus, electricity is the great p...

The aim of this research is to determine the influence electrical energy market regulation reform in Ukraine on competitive environment, reproduction processes financial and innovative support, efficiency national economy. authors have put forward verified hypothesis that, under conditions institutional maturity Ukrainian market, its liberalization separation kinds activity related generation, ...
