Varying water/air volume (VWV/VAV) favors the performance improvement of central chiller systems. However, due to the lack of an intrinsic relation connecting these design parameters to the requirements, both the operating parameters of variable speed pumps/fans (VSP/VSF) and the structural...

The life cycle carbon emission factor (measured by t-CO2/GWh) of nuclear power is much lower than those of fossil fueled power generation technologies. However, the fact of nuclear energy being a low carbon power source comes with many assumptions. These assumptions range from system and process...

Despite significant impacts of natural ventilation on atria, indoor thermal conditions and decreasing energy usage load, there is lack of knowledge about how various design parameters influence atria thermal conditions. The complexity of natural ventilation design of atria and inadequate...

The principle of energy production evaluation of PV systems is explained and parameter definitions are given at first. Then, a new method is proposed to verify detailed system parameters from ordinary, monitored data. Data acquisition system is used for the evaluation of long-term energy...
