Embracing Sustainable Cooling Solutions In an era where environmental concerns have taken center stage, the need for sustainable practices has become more pressing than ever before. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for cooling solutions to combat rising temperatures and provide comfort in various settings. However, traditional cooling methods have often come at a considerable cost to the environment, consuming substantial amounts of energy and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Amidst this challenge, a promising alternative has emerged: district cooling. This innovative approach to cooling not only addresses the environmental impact of traditional cooling systems but also offers numerous benefits in terms of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and urban planning. The concept of district cooling revolves around the centralized production and distribution of chilled water or air, serving multiple buildings within a given area. Rather than relying on individual cooling units in each building, district cooling utilizes a network of pipes to transport chilled water or air from a central plant to connected buildings, providing a more efficient and sustainable cooling solution. By consolidating the cooling process, district cooling reduces energy consumption, minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, and optimizes the use of resources. This book aims to delve into the world of district cooling, exploring its principles, applications, and transformative potential. Whether you are an engineer, an urban planner, an energy consultant, or simply someone interested in sustainable technologies, this book will serve as a comprehensive guide to understanding the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of district cooling. Throughout these pages, we will explore the key components of district cooling systems, including central plants, distribution networks, and building connections. We will delve into the technical aspects, discussing the various chilling methods, heat rejection techniques, and control systems that optimize the efficiency of district cooling. Furthermore, we will examine case studies from different regions and climates, highlighting successful implementations of district cooling in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. In addition to its environmental benefits, district cooling offers economic advantages. We will explore the financial aspects of district cooling, discussing the cost savings it can generate for building owners and operators. We will also examine the potential for integration with renewable energy sources, such as solar or geothermal, further enhancing the sustainability and resilience of district cooling systems. As we progress through the chapters, it is important to acknowledge that district cooling is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each region and project presents unique challenges and opportunities. Therefore, this book will also address the planning considerations, regulatory frameworks, and implementation strategies needed to successfully deploy district cooling systems. By the end of this book, it is our hope that readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of district cooling and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach cooling in the built environment. We invite you to embark on this journey, exploring the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices that can shape a more sustainable and comfortable future for our cities. Let us embrace district cooling as a catalyst for change, ushering in an era of sustainable cooling solutions that safeguard our planet for generations to come.

Net Zero-Energy Buildings have been the object of numerous studies in recent years as various countries have set this performance level as a long-term goal of their energy policies. This book presents a unique study of 30 NZEBs that have been constructed and have had their performance measured for at least 12 months. The study is based upon an international collaborative research initiated by the International Energy Agency - the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC). It is the first book to evaluate building strategies in houses, educational buildings and offices that have been demonstrated to work in practice. It examines how the design challenges of climate and building type have been addressed, and to what extent the various design approaches have been successful. This book presents convincing evidence that a careful re-thinking of conventional design norms can achieve a far greater performance benefit than is normally feasible. It identifies `solution sets? that work at the whole building level and at the individual building design challenge level for each climate and building type. In doing so, the book provides guidance as to how to improve the design by learning from these cases. Unusually for a book of this type it has examples of buildings in what are conventionally labeled "hot" and "cold" climates. A simple process is proposed for the reader to commission the analysis of their own climate to assess not only the conventional measure of how hot or cold or humid it is, but also to assess its suitability to support other NZEB technical challenge solutions sets such as Daylight or Natural Ventilation or comfort based climate conditioning.

This book provides the reader with an understanding of the impact that different morphologies, construction materials and green coverage solutions have on the urban microclimate, thus affecting the comfort conditions of urban inhabitants and the energy needs of buildings in urban areas. The book covers the latest approaches to energy and outdoor comfort measurement and modelling on an urban scale, and describes possible measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of the mutual interaction between urban settlements and local microclimate. Despite its relevance, only limited literature is currently devoted to appraising—from an engineering perspective—the intertwining relationships between urban geometry and fabrics, energy fluxes between buildings and their surroundings, outdoor microclimate conditions and building energy demands in urban areas. This book fills this gap by first discussing the physical processes that govern heat and mass transfer at an urban scale, while emphasizing the role played by different spatial arrangements, manmade materials and green infrastructures on the outdoor microclimate. The first chapters also address the implications of these factors on the outdoor comfort conditions experienced by pedestrians, and on the buildings’ energy demand for space heating and cooling. Then, based upon cutting-edge experimental activities and simulation work, this book demonstrates current and forthcoming adaptation and mitigation strategies to improve the urban microclimate and its impact on the built environment, such as cool materials, thermochromic and retroreflective finishing materials, and green infrastructures applied either at a building scale or at the urban scale. The effect of these solutions is demonstrated for different cities worldwide under a range of climate conditions. Finally, the book opens a wider perspective by introducing the basic elements that allow fuel poverty, raw materials consumption, and the principles of circular economy in the definition of a resilient urban settlement.
