THE ENERGY CONSERVATION IN THE THERMAL DESIGN OF A COLD STORE.

Author(s) : SESHAIAH P. V., SOLANKI S. C., VARMA H. K.

Summary

THE EFFECTS OF THE ORIENTATION AND SIZE OF THE BUILDING HAVE BEEN EXAMINED FROM THE POINT OF ENERGY CONSERVATION. THE HOURLY VARIATIONS OF OUTDOOR AIR ARE CONSIDERED. THE TRANSFER FUNCTION METHOD HAS BEEN ADOPTED TO CALCULATE THE TRANSMITTED HEAT INTO THE BUILDING. CONSIDERING THE INFLUENCE OF TIME AND INFLATION RATE ON INVESTMENT, LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS HAS BEEN USED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COST COMPRISING THE CAPITAL COSTS AND OPERATIONAL COSTS. THE FLEXIBLE-TOLERANCE METHOD OF NON-LINEAR PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN USED TO ATTAIN THE OPTIMUM DIMENSIONS OF THE BUILDING AND OPTIMUM THICKNESS OF INSULATION.
