Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources. Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems design measures utilization of local energy resources energy storage and the use of renewable energy sources to meet electricity demands are currently under development and deployment for improving the energy performance index. However integrating all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book the different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal visual air quality humidity and various plug loads) and increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect in the design of a building’s energy control system is modelling. All the components methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of a sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources. | Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Many estuaries are located in urbanized highly engineered environments. Cohesive sediment plays an important role due to its link with estuarine health and ecology. An important ecological parameter is the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) translated into turbidity levels and sediment budget. This study contributes to investigate and forecast turbidity levels and sediment budget variability at San Francisco Bay-Delta system at a variety of spatial and temporal scales applying a flexible mesh process-based model (Delft3D FM). It is possible to have a robust sediment model which reproduces 90% of the yearly data derived sediment budget with simple model settings like applying one mud fraction and a simple bottom sediment distribution. This finding opens the horizon for modeling less monitored estuaries. Comparing two case studies i. e. the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Alviso Slough a classification for estuaries regarding the main sediment dynamic forcing is proposed: event-driven estuary (Delta) and tide-driven estuary (Alviso Slough). In the event-driven estuaries the rivers are the main sediment source and the tides have minor impact in the net sediment transport. In the tide-driven estuaries the main sediment source is the bottom sediment and the tide asymmetry defines the net sediment transport. This research also makes advances in connecting different scientific fields and developing a managerial tool to support decision making. It provides the basis to a chain of models which goes from the hydrodynamics to suspended sediment to phytoplankton to fish clams and marshes. | Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary
