Quantifying CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions and Energy Production from Power Plants to Run HVAC Systems in ASHRAE-Based Buildings
<p dir="ltr">Recent evidence available in the literature has highlighted that the high-energy consumption rate associated with air conditioning leads to the undesired “overcooling” condition in arid-climate regions. To this end, this study quantified the effects of increasing the coo...

| description | <p dir="ltr">Recent evidence available in the literature has highlighted that the high-energy consumption rate associated with air conditioning leads to the undesired “overcooling” condition in arid-climate regions. To this end, this study quantified the effects of increasing the cooling setpoint temperature on reducing energy consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions to mitigate overcooling. DesignBuilder software was used to simulate the performance of a generic building operating under the currently adopted ASHRAE HVAC criteria. It was found that increasing the cooling setpoint temperature by 1 °C will increase the operative temperature by approximately 0.25 °C and reduce the annual cooling electricity consumption required for each 1 m<sup>2</sup> of an occupied area by approximately 8 kWh/year. This accounts for a reduction of 8% in cooling energy consumption compared to the ASHRAE cooling setpoint (i.e., t_s = 26 °C) and a reduction in the annual CO<sub>2</sub> emission rate to roughly 4.8 kg/m<sup>2</sup> °C. The largest reduction in cooling energy consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions was found to occur in October, with reduced rates of approximately–1.3 kWh/m<sup>2</sup> °C and −0.8 kg/m<sup>2</sup> °C, respectively.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Energies<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en15238813" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en15238813</a></p> |
