Improving the Indoor Air Quality of Office Buildings in the Post-Pandemic Era—Impact on Energy Consumption and Costs

Energies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 855 - 855

Published: Feb. 12, 2024

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, ventilation in buildings was not always given its due importance. The World Health Organization has highlighted important role of air exchange with outdoors improving quality buildings; should, therefore, be equipped mechanical or adequate conditioning systems. This paper aims to investigate different retrofit solutions for conditioning, evaluating them terms energy consumption and cost impact increased outdoor rates on countering propagation COVID-19; latter is main novelty paper. As a case study, we take an existing office building located Central Italy that previously system (a primary introduced during study). analysis conducted using dynamic simulation software after validation through bills; economic analyses were considering external-air rates. An optimal number changes found mitigate risk infection, finding line international literature. increase leads rise costs. These values evaluated systems operational schedules. drawbacks can made less significant by combining interventions energy-efficiency measures applied envelope.

Numerical analysis, design and application of a decentralized ventilation system with a heat recovery unit adapting to Nordic climates: A case study in Norway

Energy Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11, P. 3863 - 3875

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

This research investigated the energy efficiency of decentralized ventilation (DV) systems in cold weather conditions comparison to centralized (CV) systems, focusing on three locations Norway. The study found that DV with higher heat recovery unit (HRU) consumed less thermal and fan due shorter air distribution pathways, utilizing a hybrid natural strategy mild climates, simpler space zoning for ventilation. proposes determine suitable system adapting climate. These methodologies are presented major parts: 1) demands CV Norway, 2) performance system, 3) numerical analysis total demand climates using occupant ratio existing measured data.The results showed specific time periods when it is ideal use fan-assisted NV local conditions, 4–20% per year could benefit from technology. A 0.7 HRU can save up 14.5% HVAC compared system. heating played crucial role weather, while cooling had no significant effect demands. However, if hydronic coil added consumes more than 9.08% pump. energy-saving decreases significantly its below 50%, there real advantage over such cases. Nonetheless, be utilized various working conserve energy, as different occupancy ratios, individual room zoning, indoor pollution rates.

Exploring the Role of Industry 4.0 and Simulation as a Solution to the COVID-19 Outbreak: a Literature Review

Procedia Computer Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 217, P. 1918 - 1929

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unexpected and disruptive event that significantly affected the performance of manufacturing systems supply chains in various sectors. In this paper, a literature review is provided, which investigates role Industry 4.0 technologies simulation tools have played addressing effects crisis. Specifically, bibliometric analysis provides overview most influential through study used keywords. While document analysis, conducted on critical papers concern real case studies, shows so far provided support four main areas: energy consumption, healthcare chain & contact tracing, food chain, general management. outcome research work models were particularly important during crisis their properties deserve to be deeply exploited near future.
