Nature and Science 2015;13(7) http://www.sciencepub.net/nature Renewable Energy Development in Tehran Municipality; Case Study Comparison with IEA Report Zohreh Hesami1, Ali Mohamad Shaeri2, Farshad Kordani3 1. Ph.D., Head of air pollution and energy committee, Environment and sustainable development Staff, Tehran municipality 2. Ph.D., Head of Environment and sustainable development Staff, Tehran municipality 3. M.S, Energy Engineer of Environment and sustainable development Staff, Tehran Municipality [email protected] Abstract: In recent years, most of the municipalities have focused on renewable energy as a straight way toward sustainability, lowering energy demand, protecting environment and society. Policies to promote renewable energy have become increasingly popular among municipalities in different parts of the world, especially somewhere role of municipalities is integrated city management. In this way, there are certain strategies to meet the targets which have been already set. Specifying certain green building standards for new construction and major renovation for any projects using public funds, creating inspiring demonstration projects that meet high green building standards, developing systems where certified green buildings can cut through the red tape in the approval process, tax credits which offset some of the cost for energy conserving projects, are some of proceeds of municipalities to develop renewable energies in action. Tehran municipality has tried a lot to set goals and action plans to promote renewable energy in the city in spite of lack of integrated management in Tehran. According to the guidance of the International Energy Agency report two municipalities with most similarity to Tehran were selected from the report to identify and compare some concepts and policies in this paper. -

Check that this booklet has pages 2–15 in the correct order and that none of these pages is blank. YOU MAY KEEP THIS BOOKLET AT THE END OF THE EXAMINATION. © New Zealand Qualifications Authority, 2019. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced by any means without the prior permission of the New Zealand QualificationsAuthority. 2 RELEVANT GEOGRAPHIC CONCEPTS Environments Environments may be natural and / or cultural. They have particular characteristics and features, which can be the result of natural and / or cultural processes. The particular characteristics of an environment may be similar to and / or different from another. A cultural environment includes people and / or the built environment. Perspectives Perspectives are ways of seeing the world that help explain differences in decisions about, responses to, and interactions with, environments. Perspectives are bodies of thought, theories, or world views that shape people’s values and have built up over time. They involve people’s perceptions (how they view and interpret environments) and viewpoints (what they think) about geographic issues. Perceptions and viewpoints are influenced by people’s values (deeply held beliefs about what is important or desirable). Processes Processes are a sequence of actions, natural and / or cultural, that shape and change environments, places, and societies. Some examples of geographic processes include erosion, migration, desertification, and globalisation. -
A Photovoltaic Greenhouse with Variable Shading for the Optimization of Agricultural and Energy Production
energies Article A Photovoltaic Greenhouse with Variable Shading for the Optimization of Agricultural and Energy Production Simona Moretti and Alvaro Marucci * Department of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, University of Tuscia, Via San Camillo de Lellis, s.n.c., 01100 Viterbo, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0761-357-365 Received: 11 June 2019; Accepted: 3 July 2019; Published: 5 July 2019 Abstract: The cultivation of plants in greenhouses currently plays a role of primary importance in modern agriculture, both for the value obtained with the products made and because it favors the development of highly innovative technologies and production techniques. An intense research effort in the field of energy production from renewable sources has increasingly led to the development of greenhouses which are partially covered by photovoltaic elements. The purpose of this study is to present the potentiality of an innovative prototype photovoltaic greenhouse with variable shading to optimize energy production by photovoltaic panels and agricultural production. With this prototype, it is possible to vary the shading inside the greenhouse by panel rotation, in relation to the climatic conditions external to the greenhouse. An analysis was made for the solar radiation available during the year, for cases of completely clear sky and partial cloud, by considering the 15th day of each month. In this paper, the results show how the shading variation enabled regulation of the internal radiation, choosing the minimum value of necessary radiation, because the internal microclimatic parameters must be compatible with the needs of the plant species grown in the greenhouses. Keywords: dynamic photovoltaic greenhouse; variable shading; renewable source; passive cooling system 1. -
