“…As a result of this article, they have shown that it is possible to reduce the energy consumption of hospitals by using the system dynamics model. Soni et al (2022) they examined the effect of increasing energy efficiency using solar energy in a hospital in Germany. The results of the study showed that the use of solar energy reduces energy consumption and provides hospital managers with significant savings.…”

Ensuring energy performance management is important in many ways, such improvement of energy efficiency and decrease of energy costs are reduced. There are various indicators of the effectiveness of energy performance management of buildings. Due to this situation, businesses need to make the necessary improvements for the development of these factors. Nonetheless, these actions cause an increase in the costs of the companies. Hence, among these actions, the more important ones need to be identified. Owing to this issue, businesses can use their limited budgets for more priority indicators. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the main indicators of energy performance management systems. In this way, a new model is proposed to make a priority analysis for the hospitals. Firstly, five indicators of energy performance management systems are selected by considering ISO 50006 standards. Furthermore, these indicators are weighted by using Spherical fuzzy CRITIC. Secondly, G7 countries are examined with fuzzy RATGOS technique. Identification of the most significant indicators of the energy performance systems is an important novelty of this study. The most significant methodological novelty of this study is proposing a new technique to the literature named RATGOS. It is understood that energy efficiency is the most crucial indicator of energy performance management. Furthermore, it is also identified that France is the most successful G7 economy with respect to the energy performance management. Japan and United States have also high performance in this respect. It is recommended that necessary actions should be taken to increase energy efficiency. By conducting an energy audit, energy consumption data is analyzed so that energy losses and inefficiencies can be detected. This assessment provides opportunities for energy efficiency and hels identify improvement strategies.

An experimental and numerical model to determine the exergy balance based on flow availability and availability transfer in the process of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/air combustion in mesoscale gas turbine combustor is developed to elucidate the second law efficiency and total thermodynamic irreversibility. In terms of developing an energy and exergy-efficient combustor design, the present work highlights the influence of vortex shedding and recirculation in the volumetric entropy production and the exergy efficiency. It is performed in a heat recuperative high-intensity LPG-fueled mesoscale combustor for mini-gas turbine applications. The combustor is operated at different thermal inputs ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 kW under range of equivalence ratios of ϕ = 0.4–1.23. The Favre-averaged governing equations are solved by using finite volume-based approach. The standard k–ε turbulence model with modified empirical constant, [Formula: see text], is considered to model the turbulence quantities. The volumetric reaction-based eddy-dissipation concept model and a reduced skeletal model (50 species and 373 reactions) are used for turbulence–chemistry interaction. The design methodology, total volumetric entropy generation, destructive exergy due to thermodynamic irreversibility, exergy efficiency, flow recirculation, and mixing characteristics (reacting and non-reacting) are reported. The entropy generation rate due to thermal conduction is approximately 50% of the total entropy generation, while its contribution percentage due to chemical reaction is the smallest. The exergy efficiency reaches its peak with [Formula: see text] = 79.41% at 1.0 kW under fuel-rich condition, while its minimum value of 41.49% is obtained at 0.2 kW under fuel-lean (ϕ = 0.8) condition.
