Solar Energy Devices

As the time is proceeding further, the demands for energy are increasing. This is not only causing the depletion of energy sources but also increasing the threat for the future generations. So it is very importat to have a sustainable development by the means of renewable sources of energy like Solar Energy. Sustainable Architecture aims to create environment friendly & energy –efficient buildings. This entails actively harnessing Sun’s energy to do the daily work.

Solar Device

Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy.  It is also the most important of the non-conventional sources of energy because it is non-polluting and, therefore, helps in lessening the greenhouse effect.  Solar energy can be put to great use in our day to day life vis-à-vis the use of Solar Devices. This energy is used for: Cooking/Heating, Drying/Timber seasoning, Distillation, Electricity/Power generation, Cooling, Refrigeration, Cold storage

Here is a presentation on the Solar Energy Devices and there importance.

Passive Cooling Techniques

PASSIVE COOLING TECHNIQUES are least expensive means of cooling a home which  maximizes the efficiency of the building envelope without any use of mechanical devices.

• It rely on natural heat-sinks to remove heat from the building. They derive cooling directly from evaporation, convection, and radiation without using any intermediate electrical devices.

•All passive cooling strategies rely on daily changes in temperature and relative humidity.

•The applicability of each system depends on the climatic conditions.

Here is a presentation on PASSIVE COOLING TECHNIQUES which i have prepared. Hope you get all the information you ever needed.

Parameters for Energy Efficiency

As in previous post, i discussed about the concepts of energy efficiency, here i am dealing with the design Parameters for Energy Efficiency.

Green building is a design process that grows out of a connection with the natural landscape. It is a set of informed decisions that considers the site and materials to reduce the cost, maintenance, and energy usage of the home.

For further information, here is a presentation which i have prepared about the parameters for energy efficiency.

 

Concept of Energy Efficiency

We have entered in such an era where energy efficiency has become a prime concern. It not only has become important to save energy but also to generate it through various passive means which are costless.

Here is a presentation about the concept-of-energy-efficiency.

Form Active Structure System

Form active structures are those structures in which loadd is taken by the form or the shape of the structure. They are non-rigid, flexible matter shaped in a certain way and secured at the ends, can support itself and span space. Only tensile and compressive stresses persists. These are mainly categorized into 4 types:-

# Cable Structure

# Arch Structure

# Tents Structures

# Pneumatic Structures

For more information, check the presentations.
