Energy Systems for Green Buildings and Solar Panel Heat Pumps
In order to achieve reduced energy consumption in “green buildings”, it is necessary to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by making best use of renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermic energy. In addition efficient technologies including heat pumps and combined cooling, heating and power systems are also effective solutions for green buildings.
In this award winning paper, the above-mentioned technologies are introduced mainly based upon the research experience in Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The main performance characteristics of these technologies are reviewed. Finally, the application and performance of several energy systems are presented based on the Green Energy Laboratory in Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
