Abstract

Upon an improvement in the quality of life, air-conditioning has generally been applied. Nevertheless, environmental and health issues related with the use of air-conditioning occurs more often. Therefore, this paper aims to theoretically assess the principles of sustainability to achieve sustainability for renewable smart air-conditioning. Not only with consideration to the geometry (i.e. system mechanisms and components), fuzzy logic control and proportional-integral-derivative that such studies drawn particular attention to, but with concerns to a matter which has been previously ignored. That is with consideration to the potential which the renewable-based options, advanced smart control technique and profitability measures of air-conditioning reinforces the three pillars of sustainability, and their sustainable indicators as context-specific transformations have, to not only eradicate indoor health effects, lower the levels of energy consumption and rate of carbon emissions, but to uncover the significance of and particular contribution renewables and smart control opportunities makes to the sustainability of the system. In meeting this aim and demonstrating the sustainability of the theoretical framework, this paper reveals renewable and smart control system as the fundamental key components of the air-conditioning as it promotes to reduce levels of energy consumption and lower carbon emissions, vis-à-vis establish a comfortable and healthy indoor environment as an exercise in the sustainable theoretical framework whose status as renewable smart air-conditioning not only tackle poor indoor air quality but also combat global warming and climate change.

Highlights

  • Sustainability has been primarily characterized more than thirty years ago and is broadly acknowledged as a significant conceptual framework inside which to situate municipal development and policy

  • The three bottom-line principles of sustainability namely, economic, environment and social is significant in considering the sustainability of air-conditioning systems; the real issue confronting mankind with respect to the three bottom line principles of sustainability is whether human action is sustainable

  • Air-conditioning is infamous for increasing the rates of energy consumption and carbon emissions and thereby causing climate change, and subsequently, it intensifies the indications of low blood pressure while making management of pain further problematic for individuals obstinate on utilizing their central air-conditioning

Summary

Introduction

Sustainability has been primarily characterized more than thirty years ago and is broadly acknowledged as a significant conceptual framework inside which to situate municipal development and policy. Studies have demonstrated that intelligent fuzzy logic model produced promising outcomes and is applied to a considerable case in structures while showing broad overall energy utilization decrease and decline of CO2 as opposed to the current control system and accomplishing the level of ideal comfort (Wang et al, 2012; Siddqui et al, 2015; Yu and Lin, 2015). In this manner, controlling systems designers have been taking a step at creating different control methodologies for air-conditioning systems so as to optimize the air-conditioning exhibition. The proposed theoretical framework of renewable smart air-conditioning rationally contributes to the industry, renewable energy and sustainability studies through offering solar energy, smart technologies and profitability measures as a reasonable answer towards the fundamentals of sustainability for air-conditioning
