Energy management and air-conditioning in buildings:case study at college of art - mosul university

ABSTRACT MSc. Thesis ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND AIR-CONDITIONING IN BUILDINGS: CASE STUDY AT COLLEGE OF ART - MOSUL UNIVERSITY Bashar Mahmood ALI Kastamonu University Graduate School Of Natural And Applied Sciences Department of Engineering Management Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Ali Kemal ÇAKIR The growing demands for energy usage and better indoor environment quality have motivated in searching for the modern solutions on energy efficiency, electricity consumption and conservation in buildings. The building sector being the largest consumer of electric energy represents a major potential contributor for reducing energy consumption. For such purpose, building energy management system (BEMS) is considered as the latest idea of energy. In this study an attempt is made to measure and evaluate the existing indoor comfort parameters, which is focusing on the College of Art, Mosul University, Iraq. The building case studies used in this study demonstrated how the strategy can be emulated. The physical parameter conditions are then compared with the current ASHRAE Standard-55. Based on the information and data collection, the total of the building lighting and energy consumption is then being estimated. In addition, the Building Energy Index is also being determined for each section in the building. These strategies provide practical implications for facility managers to engage the building occupants in working together to achieve energy reductions. Key Words: Mosul university, college of art, ACMV system, physical parameters, air velocity, humidity & temperature quality. 2019, 70 Pages Science Code: 90
