Potential benefits associated with shared ground heat exchange. A shared ground array comprises connected ground heat exchangers for use by more than one home. [1] They can deliver low-carbon heating where individual ground-coupled heat exchangers are not viable, such as in terraced housing with little outside space.
A technology closely related to the solar chimney is the evaporative down-draft cooltower. In areas with a hot, arid climate this approach may contribute to a sustainable way to provide air conditioning for buildings. The principle is to allow water to evaporate at the top of a tower, either by using evaporative cooling pads or by spraying water.
Honeywell electronic thermostat in a store. Heating and cooling losses from a building (or any other container) become greater as the difference in temperature increases. A programmable thermostat allows reduction of these losses by allowing the temperature difference to be reduced at times when the reduced amount of heating or cooling would not be objectionable.
The ASHRAE Handbook is the four-volume flagship publication of the nonprofit technical organization ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers [a]). This Handbook is considered the most comprehensive and authoritative repository of practical knowledge on the various topics that form the field of heating ...
In some areas electrical resistance heating is used, especially where the cost of electricity is low or the primary purpose is for air conditioning. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can be up to 98% efficient and operate without a chimney, with a typical gas furnace being about 80% efficient. [ 1 ]
Giacomini is a global producer of underfloor & ceiling heating and cooling systems, thermal energy metering and water & gasses regulation. Currently Giacomini employs over 1000 workers, exporting around 80% of its production in over 100 countries all around the world.
Building automation (BAS), also known as building management system (BMS) or building energy management system (BEMS), is the automatic centralized control of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), electrical, lighting, shading, access control, security systems, and other interrelated systems. Some objectives of building ...
