DAY 1: NET ZEROENERGY BUILDINGS.Wednesday, February 20, 2013 atDubai Knowledge Village


5/11

Course SummarySince buildings are the major source of energy demand, with up-to 40% of electrical energy consumption, design and operation basedon Net Zero Energy concepts can bring substantial reduction in building operating costs as well as in green-house gas emissions.

Net Zero Energy Building, by definition, must produce as much energy as it consumes so integrated building design must ensure ener-

gy efficient strategies, which include building energy conservation design and high efficiency mechanical and electrical equipment as

per requirements of High Performance Sustainable Buildings and on-site power generation options covering both combined heat and

power (CHP/Co-generation) systems, supplemented or integrated with renewable energy.

Learning Objectives

1. Learn the concepts of Net Zero Energy Buildings and the economic benefits derived from each aspect leading to Net Zero Energy

approach.

2. Learn the important part played by basic building design to reduce energy consumption in maintaining desired indoor air quality.

3. Learn the essential part played by building mechanical and electrical systems in substantially reducing the energy consumption.

4. Learn the finely-balanced techniques of efficient combined heat and power systems to reduce overall energy consumption, special-

ly its integration with renewable energy.

DAY 2: COMBINEDHEAT & POWER(CO-GENERATION)

SYSTEMS INBUILDINGS ANDINDUSTRIES.Thursday, February 21, 2013 atDubai Knowledge Village


8/11

Course SummaryCombined Heat & Power (CHP) or Co-generation is the simultaneous production of power and useful thermal energy from a single en-

ergy source. By utilizing recovered waste heat that would otherwise be rejected to the environment, CHP/Co-generation Systems can

operate at thermal efficiencies much greater than those achieved when heat and power are produced in separate processes.

Recovered waste heat from fuel used in reciprocating engines, combustion turbines, boiler/steam turbines and fuel cells can be used

for direct heating or through steam/hot water production to reach up-to 85 % thermal efficiency vs 35 to 40 % power generation effi-

ciency for most prime-movers.

What the world is doing in efficient CHP/Co-generation can be gauged by what the worlds largest economy is ensuring :

1. In 2012, US Congress passed Smart Energy Act which includes a provision that would establish a strategic plan to double the produc-

tion of electricity through the use of CHP (85 GW) and waste heat recovery by 2020. It states that maximizing energy already created

for both its thermal and electric generation capabilities is a core definition of efficiency.

2. Also in 2012, US Senate passed Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011 to promote research and development for

the use of Alternative Energy Sources and distributed generation to supply heat and power.

3. US President Obama signed an Executive Order on August 30, 2012 to facilitate investments in Industrial Energy Efficiency that will

strengthen US Manufacturing and help create jobs by reducing energy use through efficient technologies, including expanding use of

efficient, on-site, heat and power generation, known as CHP.
