| dc.description.abstract | Abstract The rapid growth of population in Palestine leaves the country with a higher energy demand each year. Therefore, investing in renewable energy sources and performing energy audits on different households, organizations, factories, ministers, etc.… will help to reduce the energy demand and maintain a sustainable energy life cycle. In this report, Energy Audit will be performed for the Engineering Association Building (EAB). This case study focused on three aspects: lighting loads and its distribution, their HVAC energy consumption and its functionality and the different Plug-in loads in the building such as computers and printers. After taking a closer look at the electric bills of EAB in 2023, the building consumed about 35,960 kWh. The majority of energy consumption was attributed to the use of HVAC system, which was 45% of the total energy consumption, where the lighting and the Plug Loads consumed 36%, 19% respectively. Also, their lighting distribution inside the building have a problem with the lighting intensity in some areas of different rooms, where the measured readings were either higher or lower than the standard codes for each room and even some rooms have different lux readings in each corner we measured at. The results that have been obtained from the simulations of EAB are; the EAB operate at almost half the load (Load Factor = 50%) the COP and EER of the system is relatively high, 4.14 and 3.702 respectively. When using the Halls in F1 and F2 on regular basis, the energy cost increases about 14,000 NIS of their last energy bill. Also optimizing the Temperature in summer from 18⁰C to 23⁰C reduces their last energy bill by about 3,000 NIS. Turning off the HVAC system in April and November and setting the Temperature during summer at 23⁰C can save up to 4,000 NIS; also installing a Canopy can save 640 NIS of their last energy bill. These savings if taken into consideration would save 20% of their last energy bill. Lastly, the recommended PV solar system to be installed is the On-Grid system which has a SPP of 3.15Years and the SPP of 4 batteries Hybrid solar system is 4.58Years, which means that the On-Grid system is more feasible. | |
