With environmental protection posing as the number one global problem, man has no choice but to reduce his energy consumption. One way to accomplish this is to resort to passive and low-energy systems to maintain thermal comfort in buildings. The conventional and modern designs of wind towers can su

β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes the process of applying the technique of simulation to conventional and renewable energy systems as used to provide the heating, cooling and power needs of a building. Several brief case studies are presented on the use of the ESP-r system to study air conditioning, passive solar, photovoltaic and combined heat and power systems.

Buildings consume a large fraction of most nations' energy budgets. It is thus very important to promote conservation in energy use and the substitution of renewables for conventional fuels, where possible in this sector. Students undertaking courses leading to careers as professionals in the constr
Recently, there has been a growing interest in harnessing renewable energy resources particularly for electricity generation. One of the main concerns in the design of an electric power system that utilizes renewable energy sources, is the accurate selection of system components that can economicall
