“…Hence, Cp is the function of λ only and is maximum C pmax at a specified value of λ as shown in Figure. Blueline with zero angles (beta) shows that the tip speed of 8 units has a maximum power coefficient of 0.48 which is the case of the current wind model in this paper. At this moment, the WT operates at MPPT and the optimal rotor speed ω Dopt specific wind speed of v w in (4). By substitution of (4) in (1), we get: 3 .…”

“…Moreover, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are produced from many sources as shown in Fig. 1 in which it is noted that the dominant sector of producing these emissions is the energy sector through the conventional ways of energy production, while residential buildings indirectly produce the largest proportion of CO2 [4]. Conventional energy sources (CESs) cannot meet the day after day growth in energy demand due to their expensive capital cost, limitations of its fuel and the infeasibility of grid extensions due to geographical locations.…”

Microgrids being an important entity in the distribution system, and to get their full advantages by incorporating maximum distributed generation, standalone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs), being environmentally-safe and economically-efficient, are considered as the promising solution to electrify remote areas where the grid power is not available. In this work, a techno-economic investigation with an optimal design of HRES is presented to fulfill the domestic electricity need for a residential area of the Sherani district in the Province of Baluchistan, Pakistan. Nine case studies based on PV/wind/diesel/battery are analyzed based on net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE), and emission to decide the feasible solution. HOMER tool is utilized to accomplish modeling and simulation for economic analysis and optimal sizing. Simulation results demonstrated that HRES with PV-wind-battery is the most viable option for the specified area, and the optimal sizing of components are also obtained with $ 28,620 NPC and $ 0.311/kWh COE which shows 81.65 % reduction in cost and 100 % preserving in toxic emission while fulfilling 100 % energy demand with 67.3 % of excess energy. Furthermore, MATLAB/Simulink modeling for the optimally designed system is built for technical analysis while its effectiveness is proved by keeping dc and ac buses voltage constant, safe operating range of battery state of charge (SOC) with active power balance between HRES components, as well as efficient ac voltage quality, regardless of generation disturbances and load fluctuations. The output signal has total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.30 % as compared to 5.44 % with the conventional control scheme. The novelty lies in the sequential application of both HOMER and MATLAB simulations of the proposed HRES model and validation of the proposition for the studied area; by using and implementing model predictive control (MPC) of a reconfigurable inverter.

“…Among these strategies, the following stand out: the framework to assess the sustainability of residential buildings [17]; the framework for sustainability assessment of construction materials [18]; the framework for sustainability assessment of urban neighborhoods [19]; the framework for sustainability assessment of cities [20]; the simplified method for the assessment in the rehabilitation of old buildings in urban centers [9]; the framework for sustainability assessment in the construction sector based on a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment [21]; the analysis framework based on a SWOT-ANP analysis [22]; and the Nature-Organization-Product methodology based on the NOP model [23]. The NOP methodology serves as an instrument to carry out a holistic and systemic diagnosis in organizations from a four-dimension approach of sustainable development (economic, environmental, social and cultural), which can be visualized in organizations through four subsystems: Nature, Resources, Human Factor and Ideology, each subsystem accompanied by for components.…”

One of the biggest problems facing humanity is climate change and the construction industry is one of the sectors causing the greatest impact, therefore, design strategies accompanied by new methodologies is necessary. In this sense, this paper aims to assess sustainability for the design of organizational strategies against climate change, based on a holistic and systemic approach to sustainability development, in order to contribute the decision-making in housing building organizations. The assessment was based on: 1) climate change indicators were selected from a case study; 2) a survey based on climate change indicators was designed and applied to 21% of the total organizations under study and; 3) critical indicators were identified. The result shows that 58% of the climate change indicators are critical and give evidence of the negative outlook that housing building organizations has in in terms of sustainability. The 69% of these indicators belong to the cultural dimension, it demonstrates the lack of knowledge, customs, habits and commitment to implement sustainable strategies against climate change in this organizations. Finally, the results can contribute to designing strategies to promote sustainable building by the local government, and thus achieve more sustainable organizations that contribute to reducing their impact on climate change.

“…This means that 41% of relevant papers were focused on RA or NT development (see Figure 11). The RA of existing GBRSs has lately been a trend for researchers in locations like Jordan [83], Saudi Arabia [84,85], Pakistan [86], and Iran [87]. These studies usually use BREAM, LEED, or SBTool as a source to define scoring methodology and IDS.…”

Green Building Rating Systems and the New Framework Level(s): A Critical Review of Sustainability Certification within Europe

Increasing problems regarding pollution and climate change have long been demonstrated by scientific evidence. An important portion of carbon emissions are produced by the building sector. These emissions are directly related not only to the building’s energy consumption, but also other building attributes affecting the construction and operation of existing buildings: materials selection, waste management, transportation, water consumption, and others. To help reduce these emissions, several green building rating system (GBRSs) have appeared during the last years. This has made it difficult for stakeholders to identify which GBRSs could be more suitable to a specific project. The heterogeneity of the GRBS scenario requires the creation of a transparent and robust indicator framework that can be used in any country within the European Union (EU), which is a common EU framework of core sustainability indicators for office and residential buildings Level(s) with the goal to provide a solid structure for building sustainability certification across all countries of the EU. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the most common GBRSs within the EU: Building Research Establishment Assessment Method (BREEAM), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), Haute Qualité Environnementale (HQE), and Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), and a bottom up comparison of the influence in the final score produced by the indicators stated by Level(s). The indicators studied show a different influence of Level(s) indicators on every GBRS, where LEED and BREEAM were most affected while HQE and DGNB were less so. This paper demonstrates the heterogeneity of current GRBSs in the EU scenario and the difference between sustainability assessments, where DGNB seems to be more aligned to the current EU framework. Finally, the paper concludes with the need to work to achieve alignment between the GBRS and Level(s).
