Analyzing energy efficiency strategies and designing and simulation energy efficient systems in buildings
Abstract
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.the past decade has witnessed a rapid increase in the number of studies on GB energy efficiency systems. However, similar studies also indicate that the results of current GB simulations are not yet satisfactory to meet GB objectives. In this study, every particular part of the building construction element was simulated for ensuring energy efficiency.Additionally, a method is introduced that almost satisfies GB objectives by using appropriate modern cost-effective technologies, . This method reduces the initial, running, and maintenance costs of electrical/electronic devices and limits wiring installations, leading to significant energy consumption reduction of about 50%. In this research, renewable energy or green power, that is currently the key solution to tackle the energy crisis ,significantly maximised, hence decreasing the impact of global greenhouse gas emissions.
