RISModeling and Simulation of Building Cooling System With Supercooling-Based Ice Energy Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: City’s electricity power grid is under heavy load during on-peak hours throughout summer cooling season. As the result, many utility companies implemented the time-of-use rate of electricity leading to high electricity ...
Effects of Rooftop Photovoltaics on Building Cooling Demand and Sensible Heat Flux Into the Environment for an Installation on a White Roof
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) panels are commonly used for on-site generation of electricity in urban environments, specifically on rooftops. However, their implementation on rooftops poses potential (positive and negative) impacts ...
Resilience of Complex Adaptive Systems: A Pedagogical Framework for Engineering Education and Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The discourse on resilience, currently at the forefront of research and implementation in a wide variety of fields, is confusing because of its multi-disciplinary/spatial/temporal nature. Resilience analysis is a discipline ...
Demand Side Management: Optimal Demand Response in Distribution Networks With Several Energy Retail Companies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, a social welfare maximization problem is solved to determine the optimal scheduling of end-user controllable loads, smart appliances, and energy storage. The framework considers multiple retail energy suppliers ...
Optimization of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance-Based and Periodic-Based Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soiling of photovoltaics (PV) panels is affected by various factors such as relative humidity, dust concentration, and panel tilt angle. The soiling can lead to significant losses in electricity production, especially in ...
Overlooked Role of Technology in the Sustainability Movement: A Pedagogical Framework for Engineering Education and Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The term “sustainability” has acquired an all-encompassing ambiguous aura, given that it touches on all facets of human endeavor. This paper, meant to provide a pedagogical framework for engineering education, starts by ...
Energy Usage Intensity of Bank Building Stock: A Case Study in Pakistan
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy usage intensity (EUI, kWh/m2/year) of a building category helps energy managers and building owners in evaluating the energy performance of their buildings. Banks are energy-intensive buildings, but there is limited ...
Neural NetworkBased Building Energy Models for Adapting to PostOccupancy Conditions: A Case Study for Florida
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Building energy models (BEMs) are usually developed by subject matter experts during the design phase to help with decision making for achieving a more energyefficient design at a minimum cost. The energy performance of a ...
Comparative Study Between Energy Performances of NonRenewable and Renewable Source Based GridTied HVAC Systems in Subtropical Climates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper aims to research the energy performance comparison of two types of HVAC systems for subtropical regions. Two HVAC models are simulated using DesignBuilder: (1) nonrenewable energy source (nonRES) based HVAC ...
A Computationally Efficient Approach to Resolving VehicleInduced Turbulence for NearRoad Air Quality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nearroad air pollution is a worldwide public health concern, especially in urban areas. Vehicleinduced turbulence (VIT) has a major impact on the initial dispersion of trafficrelated pollutants on the roadways, affecting ...
