A review on the systems approach for solving the complexity of the environmental problematique of cities in Africa
Tập 1 Số 0 - Trang 11
Current progress in adsorption technologies for low-energy buildings
Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities. An essential constituent of future sustainable cities is energy efficient and ecologically sound buildings which ensure high levels of comfort and convenience without reducing the standards of living. At present, a significant part of primary fossil fuels is spent for heating/cooling of buildings, thus, greatly contributing to tot......
Development of Low-cost indigenous filtration system for urban sullage: assessment of reusability
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2016
Treated sullage water could be the answer to urban water scarcity. In this study, urban sullage water was subjected to various tests to determine a number of physiochemical parameters, heavy metal content and coliform count. Obtained results were compared with the Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) water samples. The sullage water was then treated using a proposed filtration system with in......
Monthly-averaged hourly solar diffuse radiation models for world-wide locations
Tập 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
Monthly-averaged daily global irradiation data are now easily available from NASA website for any global location. Using established models it is then possible to decompose the daily to averaged-hourly global irradiation. The missing link so far has been hourly averaged diffuse irradiation. In this article data was pooled from 14 world-wide locations to obtain a regression model to complete the ab......
The need for UN climate change policy reformation
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
This paper endeavours to understand the climate change phenomenon and identify measures taken to contain it. It discusses global warming causes and consequences and assesses effectiveness of the United Nations (UN) polices following failure of the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In pursuing this course of action, this paper utilizes data collected from East Africa region. Key is......
The effect of building integrated photovoltaic system (Bipvs) on indoor air temperatures and humidity (Iath) in the tropical region of Cameroon
Tập 1 - Trang 1-10 - 2015
The building sector accounts for around 40-50 % of the energy consumed in developing countries and contribute over 30 % of CO2 emissions. In Cameroon, the electricity access is less than 5 % in rural areas against 50 % in urban areas. All sectors combined the Cameroonian final energy consumption amounts to approximately 5235 kilo-tonnes of oil equivalent (Ktoe) and 73 % of this energy are assigned......
Transforming typical hourly simulation weather data files to represent urban locations by using a 3D urban unit representation with micro-climate simulations
Tập 2 - Trang 1-23 - 2016
Urban and building energy simulation models are usually driven by typical meteorological year (TMY) weather data often in a TMY2 or EPW format. However, the locations where these historical datasets were collected (usually airports) generally do not represent the local, site specific micro-climates that cities develop. In this paper, a humid sub-tropical climate context has been considered. An ide......
CFD simulation and validation of self-cleaning on solar panel surfaces with superhydrophilic coating
Tập 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2015
Solar panel conversion efficiency, typically in the twenty percent range, is reduced by dust, grime, pollen, and other particulates that accumulate on the solar panel. Cleaning dirty panels to maintain peak efficiency, which is especially hard to do for large solar-panel arrays. To develop a transparent, anti-soiling Nano-TiO2 coating to minimize the need for occasional cleaning is the purpose of ......
