Abstract

A fuzzy multiple attribute decision making tool for HVAC&R systems selection with considering the future probabilistic climate changes and electricity decarbonisation plans in the UK. Energy and Buildings, 159. pp. 398418.

Residential heating system selection using the generalized Choquet integral method with the perspective of energy

“…This significant energy demand and the ascending trend in utilizing HVAC&R systems together with the global need to impose energy-efficiency measures underline the importance of selecting the most appropriate HVAC&R system during the design process. 17…”

Measurement of embodied carbon and energy of HVAC facilities in healthcare centers

“…Dixit et al (2010) identified parameters as a database to evaluate the energy incorporated in a building. Shahrestani et al (2018) observed in the U.K. that different climate scenarios, electricity decarbonisation plans and building location are influential parameters to select HVAC systems. Dixit et al (2012) concluded that it would be sensible to develop guidelines that could pave the way for an embodied energy protocol.…”

Energy Evaluation and Energy Savings Analysis with the 2 Selection of AC Systems in an Educational Building

“…Buildings have a significant 40% share of thetotal energy use worldwide. Since the buildings' internal environment must be conditioned to human comfort, a considerable amount of its energy consumption, approximately 55%, is spent on heating, ventilation, AC, and refrigeration systems [1][2][3]. In Colombia the energy consumption of buildings is an estimated 22.8% of the total [4] but there is a significant energy saving potential estimated at approximately 25% by The Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) [5].…”

“…However, the use of VRF systems is being considered as a replacement option for conventional HVAC systems in the market in response to recent efforts to decrease the energy consumption of HVAC systems in buildings. VRF systems have advantages over other conventional HVAC systems in the market, such as improved building design, reduced installation costs, low energy dissipation, excellent part-load efficiency, quiet operation, and flexible temperature, among others that reaffirm it as a good choice of high-tech product [2,3].…”
