In this work, indirect evaporative air-conditioning was thermally designed in order to reduce energy consumption without negatively affecting the thermal comfort and in order to lower the imported oil bill on the national level and reducing the emission of harmful gasses to the environment on the international level.Moreover, the economic impact of such system was studied.The outcomes show that indirect evaporative air-conditioning can be covered most of the total annual load at 1100 ls-1. Furthermore, once indirect evaporative air-conditioning in 500,000Mediterranean residential buildings are used instead of traditional one, the annual estimated energy saving is about 1,084 GWh/a and the annual total avoided CO2 emission is estimated to be 637,873 Ton. The payback period for such system from the saving that occurred is less than two years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
