Abstract
Energy Efficient Cooling Technologies for Achieving Sustainability in Buildings in Subtropical Climate
Highlights
THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS to the present day offered a series of appreciable changes in the planet
Et al, (2002) evaluated the system performance using chilled-ceiling with desiccant cooling and the energy savings potential by comparing with another three systems such as conventional all-air system, all-air system with total heat recovery, and radiant cooling with air handling unit (AHU) of a typical office
Electric utility companies usually encourage the use of Thermal Storage Air Conditioning (TSAC) systems to reduce the cost required to generate peak electric power and has become well established in many countries like USA, Japan and Taiwan etc
Summary
THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS to the present day offered a series of appreciable changes in the planet. From sustainability’s view point, co-ordination of resources to be consumed by a building throughout its useful life acquires great importance This aspect mainly refers to electricity consumption for lighting, ventilation and air conditioning (Sarja, 2002). 70 THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL, CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY, VOLUME 4 the perceived costs of building green were overestimated. A recent survey by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development found that green building costs were overestimated by 300% - more triple the true average cost difference of about 5%. The Eco-city development is located in Adelaide’s city centre and the Aldinga Arts Eco Village is located in Aldinga Melbourne, another Australian city, is the host of many green buildings and sustainable developments for instance, Centre for Education and Research Environmental Strategies (CERES) Environmental Part and Council House 2 (Wikipedia, 2007). It is believed that with integrated and holistic approach to HVAC and building design, performance of existing building can be improved
