Electric Energy Saving of Air-Conditioner for High-Rise Buildings

Abstract

The application of energy resources has stimulated a dramatic increased especially in developing countries. Consequently, the energy-saving factor of local and non-domestic residents such as the industry, service centers and others has been a concern especially on electronic device equipment such as environmental warming, local ventilation and air conditioning equipment. The method of reducing the use of air conditioners is divided into two methods practiced by engineers is called an active and passive way that alters the model of air conditioning and green building materials. Therefore, this research is intended to reduce the air conditioner energy consumption by avoiding the unnecessary space cooling and stabilize the cooling air at usage area in the high-rise building such as big and tall ceiling hall. Experiment with prototype is chosen to use as the methodology to testing and evaluate the concept according to the change of temperature. Thus, the expected outcomes of experiment are the difference of temperature between upper and lower level will be more significant and lower part is cooler than upper part as the cooling air is avoiding to flowing up by air preventer. Besides that, the air preventer which replace with car tinted able to reflect heat will reduce the heat transfer to the lower part or usage area to reduce the internal heat addition in the high-rise constructing that also benefits to decrease the energy depletion. However, the limitation of air preventer is transmittance of light, costly if apply high quality and bigger space area, and thin layer that may easily broke. The suggested materials that may take in consideration to replace the tinted using Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) rubber.
