Cost-effective analysis for selecting energy efficiency measures for refurbishment of residential buildings in Catalonia

© 2016. This version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/This paper presents the results of a detailed method for developing cost-optimal studies for the energy refurbishment of residential buildings. The method takes part of an innovative approach: two-step evaluation considering thermal comfort, energy and economic criteria. The first step, the passive evaluation, was presented previously [1] and the results are used to develop the active evaluation, which is the focus of this paper. The active evaluation develops a cost-optimal analysis to compare a set of passive and active measures for the refurbishment of residential buildings. The cost-optimal methodology follows the European Directives and analysed the measures from the point of view of non-renewable primary energy consumption and the global costs over 30 years. The energy uses included in the study are heating, domestic hot water, cooling, lighting and appliances. In addition, the results have been represented following the energy labelling scale. The paper shows the results of a multi-family building built in the years 1990–2007 and located in Barcelona with two configurations: with natural ventilation and without natural ventilation. The method provides technical and economic information about the energy efficiency measures, with the objective to support the decision process.Postprint (author's final draft

Energy-efficient ventilation control strategies for surgery rooms

Surgery room specific energy use is among the highest in the built environment due to stringent indoor environmental quality and infection control requirements. This study uses a calibrated energy model to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of a variety of ventilation control strategies that reduce surgery room energy use while maintaining indoor environmental quality and infection control performance. The individual control strategies evaluated in this study are (1) temperature and relative humidity reset, (2) air recirculation, (3) airflow reset, and (4) particle concentration based airflow control. Combinations of these strategies are also evaluated. The best performing combinations of control strategies can reduce surgery room primary energy use, CO2 emissions, and energy costs by up to 86% relative to the standard practice. Temperature and relative humidity reset is the strategy that offers the largest benefits. Particle concentration based airflow control shows modest results partly due to the conservative infection control performance target. Future research should define infection control performance thresholds during operation.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author’s final draft

Forest fire protection and water desalting by means of biomass control

The aim of the current study is to define, design, and evaluate a seawater desalination plant capable of producing 10 hm3/yr, using a reverse osmosis process. The energy required (electricity) will be produced by burning waste from forestry management or from the woodworking industry.Postprint (published version
