    FACTSHEET 3: Introduction to Solar Thermal Heating Introduction The sun’s energy is free and abundant, and can be used to provide green and renewable hot water for a variety of domestic and commercial situations. For Solar Thermal Water Heating systems solar collector panels are installed on roofs facing between South West and South East (the more south facing the bet- ter the performance). These collectors absorb the sun’s energy and change it into heat, which is then used to heat water. There are two main types of col- lector plates, and several different ways these can be used to provide hot water. 1. Types of Solar Collector Plates a) Flat Plate Collectors The most common panels for solar water heating are FIGURE 1: INSTALLATION OF EVACUATED TUBES flat-plate collectors.

The aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an individual or community. Biotic and Abiotic Components of Environment Natural environment includes all the living and non-living components occurring naturally on Earth. The biological components of the ecosystem that is the biotic components interact with the physical entities (abiotic components). The scientific study of the interaction of biotic community with each other and with abiotic components is known as Ecology. Abiotic Components The abiotic components are also known as the abiotic factors. The abiotic factors in ecology consist of the non-living and physical factors of the environment. Non-living components like pH value, solids, water, intensity of light as energy source, temperature of the atmosphere, humidity, physical factors of land like altitude, gradient and region and microclimate. The abiotic components have a strong influence on the distribution, behavior, relationship and structure of the living organisms. Biotic Components Biotic components are the living factors of the ecosystem. A biotic factor is any living component that includes a number of interrelated populations of different species in a common environment. A biotic factor can be any organism that affects any other organism including animals that consume other organism and food the organism consumes. Biotic factors in an environment require food and energy to survive.

They use interior space. Similarly, ground-source heat pumps electricity to transfer heat from the outside air, or the extract heat from the ground. They are more expensive ground, to the interior, in contrast to more widespread but also more efficient than ASHPs due to the nearly technologies such as warm-air furnaces and variable constant 40-60°F temperature of the ground throughout air volume systems, which typically burn oil or natural the year [2]. gas to heat buildings.

  • Study on Biomass Combustion Emissions

    Study on Biomass Combustion Emissions

    Study on Biomass Combustion Emissions Draft for Public Consultation October 2016 A report completed by Fehily Timoney & Company and kindly supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland The Irish BioEnergy Association is pleased to issue this draft report on the emissions from biomass combustion. Throughout the previous four years Irish businesses have been calling for the introduction of a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to support the development of biomass heating in Ireland. The introduction of such a measure would assist Ireland in meeting its 2020 Renewable Energy Targets, reduce Irelands dependence on imported fossil fuels and reduce Irelands greenhouse gas emissions. However the question has been raised ‐ Will the combustion of biomass result in other emissions to atmosphere that may be harmful to the environment or human health? This brief report seeks to open this question and to inform the reader as to the main aspects of the question. The report seeks to inform the reader about biomass combustion and the techniques used to mitigate and control emissions. The Irish BioEnergy Association invites stakeholders, policy makers and members of the public to examine this report and share their views on the topic. Responses received may contribute directly to the report or may form the basis of future studies into the matter at hand.

    Heat Recovery from Wastewater—A Review of Available Resource

    water Review Heat Recovery from Wastewater—A Review of Available Resource Himanshu Nagpal , Jan Spriet , Madhu Krishna Murali and Aonghus McNabola * Department of Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] (H.N.); [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (M.K.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The EU Directive 2018/2001 recognized wastewater as a renewable heat source. Wastewater from domestic, industrial and commercial developments maintains considerable amounts of thermal energy after discharging into the sewer system. It is possible to recover this heat by using technologies like heat exchangers and heat pumps; and to reuse it to satisfy heating demands. This paper presents a review of the literature on wastewater heat recovery (WWHR) and its potential at different scales within the sewer system, including the component level, building level, sewer pipe network level, and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) level. A systematic review is provided of the benefits and challenges of WWHR across each of these levels taking into consideration technical, economic and environmental aspects. This study analyzes important attributes of WWHR such as temperature and flow dynamics of the sewer system, impacts of WWHR on the environment, and legal regulations involved. Existing gaps in the WWHR field are also identified. It is concluded that WWHR has a significant potential to supply clean energy at a scale ranging from buildings to large communities and districts. Further attention to WWHR is needed from the research community, policymakers and other stakeholders to realize the full potential of this valuable renewable heat source.
