Analysis of Wind Energy Potential Inside a Tunnel Located on the Highway-Book [Green Buildings and Renewable Energy]

2020-09-01
Society started searching for alternative resources of energy, with more awareness of their responsibility to the environment. Renewable energies (RE) in buildings and cities experience a huge expansion, which raises many challenges to the scientists, researchers, and engineers. RE such as solar and wind energy is a clean and inexhaustible energy, and its technology is developing rapidly. This will lead to good results in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. It would also reduce environmental pollution such as air pollution caused by burning of fossil fuels. This study mainly focuses on analysis of wind energy potential inside a Gali-Zakho Tunnel in Duhok province in northern Iraq, which is located on the highway that connects the border between Kurdistan-Iraq and Turkey. This work also included investigating the feasibility of generating electrical energy (EE) from

Performance of Solar Window Film with Reference to Energy Rationalizing in Buildings- Book [ Sustainable Building for a Cleaner Environment]

2019-09-01
In the last decades the growing need for comfort conditions in residential buildings and the severe summer conditions typical of Mediterranean climate have led to an ever-increasing request for the installation of air-conditioning systems. This has led to rising consumption of electricity and has influenced the cost of electricity and the need for more power plants. Furthermore, the CO2 equivalent emissions’ factors from electricity will rise. In this study, two wooden cabinets (cabinets A and B) were built to be a model for two rooms in a building in city of Duhok, Iraq. These cabinets were of double-glazed window, insulated by air. Solar control window film (SCWF) has been attached on the window of one of the cabinets (cabinet B). Measurements of the following physical variables parameter were performed, outside and inside the cabinets: solar radiation (SR), temperature (T), and relative humidity (RH)
