A Report On Passive Solar Architecture

Energy use by buildings would be reduced by a Factor 10 or more below that of conventional buildings. The purpose of factor 10 is a long-term

As the global population increases exponentially, having passed six billion in 1999, the world population is expected to be 8.9 billion by the year 2050. The worlds energy consumption will increase by an estimated 54 percent by 2025. Energy demand in the industrialized world is projected to grow 1.2 percent per year. Energy is a critical component of sustained economic growth and improved standards of living. One of the major requirements for sustaining human progress is an adequate source of energy. As the world’s technological enhancements and standards of living improve, so too does their appetite for electricity.

Ed Welsh and Bo Haeberle discovered an idea of the solar feeder. After years of developing, the product became very successful. It even won several prizes like the best new product in the Bird Watch America trade show, the national birding convention. After this, Ed and Bo decided to sell their final product under new established company Squirrel Defense, Inc. They opened a small shop in Greensboro and begin the production of the solar feeder so they could take orders for the demanded product. Owners spent too much money and time on developing the product and now, their expectations are high because they have an advantage of unique product and even the investors showed interest in the company.

Love me or hate me no matter what you may think of me I stand for millions that can't stand for themselves. I am from somewhere you can't imagine and I was brought up in conditions where many would not survive. What your see in front of you is a strong, intelligent, Mexican American also known a Chicano/Chicana. I am seen less than what I really am, and viewed as an immigrant our even in some people's eyes labeled as an outsider. You people label me as Hispanic but I am not, I am a proud Mexican-American “Chicano.” The Chicano Culture base comes from Mexico, slang name also known to be Mexicano. It was used in ancient times to spot each member from the Aztec Indian Tribe. Anyone who was born in Mexico was seen as a Mexicano. Although most people don't know the difference an Chicano isn't a Mexican, he/she is a Mexican-American that was born and current lives in the United States since the early 20th century.

Humans are considered to be a big reason for this rise in temperatures over the last forty years. This is due to our extensive use of using fuels for energy that release carbon dioxide, also called the greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Every car driven on the road releases this substance as well as fuels used to heat homes and provide power to our everyday lives. There are also other factors that play a role into this explosion of rising temperatures. The EPA website states, “The majority of greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels to produce energy, although deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices also emit gases into the atmosphere” (EPA.gov, 2014). Trees are the atmospheres filter for carbon dioxide but when we continually dump more and more of this gas into the air and cut down more and more of the forests the balance of the Earth becomes skewed and the temperatures increase.

Wind energy is, “a renewable resource and has no fuel cost”, which helps the wind energy industry rise to prominence (American). With the low prices of wind energy, it is becoming an affordable form of electricity, although it still isn’t a main component in regards to energy production. Hydropower is the United States, “largest source of renewable electricity”; the most common type is conventional, which is typically associated with dams (Valley). Although hydropower is the most prominent green energy source in the United States, it doesn’t take away from the outrageous prices that go along with having this type of energy. Solar energy is the last main source of green energy. There isn’t as much research regarding this industry, because it isn’t as developed as the others. However, millions of dollars have been granted to try and better its development (Howell). Green buildings are structures that, “aim to reduce the negative impacts on the environment through using less natural resources to build and operate” (Dwaikat). These eco-boosting buildings incorporate each of the common types of green energy, however in some cases, they “don’t perform as predicted” (Dwaikat). In a case study over green buildings, it was found that they, “used around 160% more energy than expected”, which became a trend for the majority of the buildings (Dwaikat).

Using diesel or gasoline, these generators can power refrigerators, air conditioners and fans. This method is already in use in many domestic and industrial settings in Africa. The major drawback to using generating sets is the cost of acquiring them, and running cost since diesel and gasoline are relatively expensive. Air conditioners are famous power guzzlers, therefore, to reduce the acquisition cost, especially for cooling of buildings, fans can replace air conditioners. The fans can provide a relatively sufficient cooling effect for a fraction of the energy consumption of air conditioners. For the cooling of foods, drinks and other consumables, generators can be used intermittently to power refrigerators. With proper insulation, a good refrigerator can keep its contents cool for several hours, with some remaining cold for up to two days, thereby reducing the need to keep the generators

The residential building sector is one of the major energy consumers in North America. It accounts for 17% of energy used in Canada, resulting in 70 megatons (Mt) of annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) 2008). According to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan 2010a), 65% of residential energy consumption is attributed to space heating by means of the primary fuel types, natural gas and electricity (Statistics Canada 2007).

In a decade from now, the building industry will have changed in certain ways; however, it will remain the same in other categories. The building industry mainly involves residential and nonresidential. In the future, nonresidential buildings will continue to increase. Residential buildings, however, may remain the same, if not increase minorly. The building industry has had numerous positive outcomes in previous years, which will continue.

Passive solar heating designs are some of the simplest forms of incorporating solar energy into your daily home life. Passive solar designs incorporate the sun

A recent newspaper article stated that approximately 50% of the green gas emissions in the Britain are caused by buildings (Knapton, S. (2017). Though new buildings in Britain are designed for improved be energy efficiency, studies have now found that many of these buildings, in reality, fail to deliver reduced energy consumption figures (Knapton, S. (2017).

The desire to rule can rule over people. In The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare the desire for political power alters the character of Macbeth. After battle, Macbeth shows his loyalty to King Duncan by saying, “...our duties/ Are to your throne and state children and servants,” (1.4.24-25). Macbeth’s personality leads him to be respectful and faithful to the throne. Macbeth’s loyal personality shifts as he gains a desire for political power. Macbeth’s change in personality starts with his murder of Macbeth, but we see that his original personality still causes him to have guilt. His subconscious punishes him when Macbeth hears whispers that “Glamis has murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor/ Shall sleep no more.” (2.2.40-41). Macbeth’s

Abstract— Now a days, global warming is one of the serious concern for environment to get protected from it every one is taking help of technology by the means of different types of refrigeration system for comfort food process, medicines, blood storage, humidity control, etc. use of refrigeration system not totally green or ineffective environment, if we can use proper eco-friendly refrigerant in refrigeration system and make number of refrigeration system less. Then it is not long way to be resolve global warming issue. In Indian middle class and poor families cannot afford all types of refrigeration system like a ac, refrigerator, air cooler, etc. generally they purchase only air cooler. To solve this we can integrate refrigeration system of ac, refrigerator and air cooler in one product. So, that it cans multiplication and can we say as multifunctional refrigeration system. This type’s product various components are used like as compressor, condenser, capillary tube, evaporator, motor, fan, etc.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is focused “solar assisted air conditioning of buildings” in their task 25. The solar assisted air conditioning is very favorable technology to meet the demand for residential application. Later on, IEA task 38 is focused on “solar air conditioning and refrigeration”. In which the global research has started to working in the small capacity of absorption machine. The important milestone in the research of absorption system is micro-CHP (Combined Heat and Power), and it can be helpful to provide hot water and electricity for the residential building. The available capacity range of absorption machine from 40 to 300 kW is shown in Table 1.7. The increasing global market due increasing the small size building cooling demand, there is an emerging research need to operate the absorption system below 40 kW. France, China, Japan, Spain, Germany, India, United States and Mexico are leading countries in absorption system manufacturing. Other than above manufacturer is shown in Table 1.7, Voltas, Trane, Blue Star, Carrier, Robur, Kirloskar Pneumatic and Sonnenklima are also contributing in the global market of absorption machine. The total share of manufacturer against installed capacity of absorption machine is shown in Figure 1.5.

The energy analysis for the Architecture Annex was run with the settings of a 24/7 school or university building. The location was set to Urbana, IL, and the HVAC system was set to the default type. The analysis showed that most energy would be used on fuel,
