  • Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions
    energies Article Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions Ola Eriksson 1,* and Göran Finnveden 2 1 Faculty of Engineering and Sustainable Development, Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gävle, SE 801 76 Gävle, Sweden 2 Division of Environmental Strategies Research–fms, Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Sciences and Engineering (SEED), School of Architecture and the Built Environment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SE 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden; goran.fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-26-648145 Academic Editor: George Kosmadakis Received: 19 October 2016; Accepted: 12 April 2017; Published: 15 April 2017 Abstract: Previous studies on waste incineration as part of the energy system show that waste management and energy supply are highly dependent on each other, and that the preconditions for the energy system setup affects the avoided emissions and thereby even sometimes the total outcome of an environmental assessment. However, it has not been previously shown explicitly which key parameters are most crucial, how much each parameter affects results and conclusions and how different aspects depend on each other. The interconnection between waste incineration and the energy system is elaborated by testing parameters potentially crucial to the result: design of the incineration plant, avoided energy generation, degree of efficiency, electricity efficiency in combined heat and power plants (CHP), avoided fuel, emission level of the avoided electricity generation and avoided waste management. CO2 emissions have been calculated for incineration of 1 kWh mixed combustible waste. The results indicate that one of the most important factors is the electricity efficiency in CHP plants in combination with the emission level of the avoided electricity generation.

  • Mechanical General Requirements
    UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Mechanical Facilities Services Design Guide General Requirements Basis of Design This section applies to the general mechanical requirements for all Division 15 work. Background This section is intended to assist the Mechanical Engineer and other design team members during the design process by answering questions about how the University builds, operates, and maintains mechanical systems in buildings. If there are questions about this information or proposals of alternate solutions, discuss them with the Project Manager and Engineering Services. Programming Design facilities to minimize annual operating costs and future repair and replacement costs. This document is written primarily for the Seattle campus. Facility design standards can vary for the Tacoma campus, Bothell campus and off-site facilities. Review each project with the Project Manager and Engineering Services to determine exceptions to the Facilities Services Design Guide as appropriate. State these exceptions clearly in the Technical Program. The Central Power Plant (CPP) and West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) provide utilities to the buildings adjacent to the utility tunnel system. This includes all buildings on the central, south, and southwest campuses and most of the buildings on the east campus and along Campus Parkway. Mechanical utilities from the CPP include steam, condensate return, central cooling water and compressed air. Mechanical utilities from the WCUP include central cooling water. Due to the capacity and hydraulics limitations of these system, verify the addition of new loads onto these systems with Engineering Services. Mechanical rooms need to be large enough to house the equipment and provide adequately sized access pathways for the repair, maintenance, and eventual replacement of the equipment.

Received: 3 September 2019; Accepted: 24 September 2019; Published: 16 October 2019 Abstract: In Malaysia, terraced housing hardly provides thermal comfort to the occupants. More often than not, mechanical cooling, which is an energy consuming component, contributes to outdoor heat dissipation that leads to an urban heat island effect. Alternatively, encouraging natural ventilation can eliminate heat from the indoor environment. Unfortunately, with static outdoor air conditioning and lack of windows in terraced houses, the conventional ventilation technique does not work well, even for houses with an air well. Hence, this research investigated ways to maximize natural ventilation in terraced housing by exploring the air well configurations.
