A Hybrid Cooling System to Reduce Building Energy Consumption

摘要：

Greenhouse gas emissions and associated global climate change are significant and growing concerns for the world community.Previous research has shown that depending on the assumed future climate scenarios,building cooling load and energy consumption may increase significantly in Australia,by up to 48% in some locations.This indicates the great importance of improving the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems in our building systems.In this paper,energy use of the building sector in Australia is first reviewed.The features of Australian climate conditions and the potential of outdoor air for free cooling are then analysed.The possible and potential use of different types of hybrid cooling systems to reduce building cooling energy use as a means of adapting to climate change is also discussed.Further research and the formulation of suitable control strategies of the resultant system are emphasised.
