  1. 11. A Study in Solar Housing Technology: The Impact of Trombe Walls in Ladakh

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Sebastian Arora-Jonsson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine the effect of installing a Trombe Wall in houses in Ladakh, India, and to evaluate its impacts for energy-saving, improvement in life quality, and its financial viability. Trombe Walls are a passive solar technology that use a dark wall with a glass covering to slowly heat living spaces by storing solar energy. READ MORE

  3. 12. Energy efficiency in commercial buildings in South Africa : A study of interior ceiling temperature distribution and measures to decrease the cooling demand in buildings in Pretoria, South Africa

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Astrid Göthberg; Josephine Tasevski; [2020]
    Keywords : Ceiling temperature; Commercial buildings; Cooling demand; Energy efficiency; Heat transfer model; Mathematical modelling; Solar radiation; South Africa;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate opportunities to make commercial buildings in Pretoria, South Africa, more energy efficient, which is made by examining prerequisites in South Africa. To achieve this objective, barriers and measures to decrease cooling demand are investigated by a qualitative approach and a roof heat transfer model is developed to get a deeper understanding of the ceiling temperature distribution.

    Keywords : faults; heat pumps; Renewable energies; PV; solar energy; photovoltaic; TRNSYS;

    Abstract : Air source heat pumps coupled with a photovoltaic system is onefeasible technology to reduce the emissions from the building sector.These systems usually have an auxiliary heating device that is able tocover the whole heat demand on its own. READ MORE

  6. 15. Feasibility Study of Chemical Energy Storage for an Energy Efficient Commercial Office Space

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Kerry-Leigh Maritz; [2019]
    Keywords : “Chemical Energy Storage”; “Commercial”; “Energy Storage”; “Load Demand Shift”; “50kW Solar System”;

    Abstract : Shifting the load demand of a commercial office space to utilise off peak tariffs would lead to cost savings as power is cheaper at this time. To achieve this shift, chemical energy storage was considered using Lead Acid batteries, Lithium-ion batteries and Advance Lead Acid batteries. The output of these storage types is electricity.
