Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method for quantifying the effects of different actions to make evaluations and decisions easier. There are various product waste management solutions, but determining which one is best in terms of environmental effects can be difficult. In this regard, recycling is frequently regarded as environmentally beneficial, as it involves the gathering and processing of waste into new products. Inspired by the necessity of recycling, this study proposes a waste recycling system based on product life cycle evaluation to increase the use rate of waste products. The suggested system built the product life cycle workflow using Electronic Product Cycle (EPC) to make the product’s complete life cycle scalable and unified. In addition, the proposed system uses a big data normalization approach to preprocess product life cycle data and extract the total weight of product life cycle assessment indicators. Furthermore, the suggested method seeks to demonstrate the usefulness of LCA as a waste recycling tool during the construction of a waste management framework and to identify a gap in research by designing a better framework. The simulation results show that compared with the designed PLA-based waste recycling system, the system has higher reliability, lower LCA complexity, less impact on throughput, and lower cost, meeting the economics of waste disposal requirements.

“…Homer program can be used to design and analyze hybrid systems such as wind-solar-biomass and is often used for techno-economic evaluations [11]. In a study conducted in the PV*SOL program, simulation results and real-time data were compared, and up to 94.33% similarity was observed between real data and simulation data [12]. When the studies on the roof-top PV system are examined, in the application on the roof of a university building, the available roof area for PV applications has been determined by defining the limitations.…”

The use of electrical energy from renewable energy sources has increased considerably in recent years. Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy, which is one of the renewable energy sources, takes its source from the sun, which is considered an unlimited source. With the widespread use of photovoltaic systems, some legal regulations by governments have been made for their installation. Simulation programs are used for the design, layout, technical and economic analysis of PV systems. In this study, the design was made using the PVsyst, PV*SOL, Solarius programs, and the PVGIS website used in PV systems. The projects are designed to have an output power of 25 kW. According to the simulation results, the PVGIS website provides approximate data, since technical details cannot be entered. In the results of PVGIS and all simulation programs, it has been calculated that the system can produce 42-48 MWh of electrical energy annually. Power Ratio (PR) results of the system were in the range of 78-85%. Annual electrical energy production per installed kW has been calculated to be 1436-1635 kWh/year. It is stated that the annual saved CO2 will be 18.66-22.226 tons /year. When the simulation results are analyzed monthly, the differences between the months are remarkable. The reason for these deviations can be explained by the annual solar radiation (kWh/m2) data and databases used by the programs. It has been observed that the simulation programs consider the monthly average temperatures and sunshine durations of the region. It is thought that there is a need to compare real-time data with simulation results in future studies. It is considered that this study will be helpful for future studies.

Introduction: The construction sector plays a pivotal role in global natural resource consumption, underscoring the urgency of promoting energy efficiency in buildings. With the escalating demand for renewable energy, solar power has gained significant traction. This study focuses on conducting a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of solar energy integration in residential buildings.Methods: The approach involves a novel comparison between photovoltaic panels and Solar Heating Systems (SHS) based on both environmental and financial considerations. To evaluate the practical implications, a case study was undertaken on an affordable housing complex in Brazil. Three distinct models were simulated for analysis: Model 1, featuring a grid-connected photovoltaic project with zero energy balance; Model 2, incorporating a grid-connected photovoltaic project with two solar panels generating 340 W each; and Model 3, integrating an SHS.Results: The findings reveal the technical and economic feasibility of all proposed models. Model 1 stands out with superior performance in terms of estimated energy generation, energy savings, and annual reduction of CO2 emissions. On the other hand, Model 3 excels in the financial analysis, indicating its viability from a cost perspective.Discussion: This research contributes to informed decision-making processes regarding the utilization of photovoltaic panels and SHS, thereby fostering energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings. The nuanced comparison of environmental and financial aspects provides valuable insights for stakeholders in the construction and renewable energy sectors. The identified strengths and trade-offs of each model enable a more holistic understanding of the implications of solar energy integration in residential buildings.
