Continued reductions in air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are crucial in megacities like Tehran, Iran, as they pose serious threats to both people's health and the environment. Reducing energy use through renewable energy projects will result in the mitigation of GHG emissions. Hence, this study was designed to assess the use of renewable energy resources to provide the energy services for a residential building. The specific objective of this article is to select a hybrid renewable energy system that can meet the energy demand of a 5‐story residential building in Tehran. The energy consumption of the building is calculated using DesignBuilder software. Then, HOMER software is applied to propose an economically feasible solar‐wind hybrid system that can meet the energy demand of the building. Initially, information required for HOMER and DesignBuilder software such as the building plan, details on electrical appliances used in the building, solar radiation, wind speed, and cost of renewable systems were collected. Subsequently, the energy performance of the building was simulated in DesignBuilder software and the results were applied to HOMER software. Finally, the hybrid systems proposed by HOMER were economically compared. Furthermore, the emissions produced by the proposed system were evaluated against a diesel only system to assess the amount of offset emissions. The comparison of the hybrid and diesel systems shows that utilization of hybrid systems can significantly reduce the magnitude of GHG emissions along with achieving cost saving. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13146, 2019

“…One widely used design tool is RETScreen. RETScreen was developed to evaluate energy production, life-cycle costs, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of various types of renewable energy systems [32][33][34][35][36]. In RETScreen, the performance of different types of renewable energy sources, including wind power [37,38], hydro power [39,40], PV [41][42][43], combined heat and power (CHP) [35], bio energy [44,45], solar heating [33,[46][47][48], and geothermal heating and cooling [49], can be evaluated.…”

Renewable energy systems (RES) in buildings should be designed carefully, not only because of the need for an optimal design, but also to comply with related laws. Therefore, the design of RES in the buildings requires close collaboration between architects and engineers from the beginning of the design process. To support such collaboration, this study proposes a simplified design method for RES in buildings during the early design stage. By using the proposed design method, design alternatives that meet the required energy standards as suggested by law are first generated. Further designs are made to evaluate the performance and cost of the design alternatives and to find the optimal types of RES for the building. The study also uses a case study to verify the applicability of the design method to the early design stage. Although the performance and cost of the different design alternatives are similar, the implementation of each type of RES in each design alternative is different. Nonetheless, by analyzing performance patterns and the cost ratio of each type of RES in each design alternative, the study allows the most suitable type of RES to be chosen for the building.

“…The demand for energy keeps increasing progressively and is creating a massive burden on energy sectors. Therefore, it is pre-request to meet daily changing power demand by maximum integration of renewable energy sources (Salehin et al, 2016). The technical, economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy sources have increased maximum utilization of PV and wind turbine generator for power generation at all the segments of the power system (Das et al, 2017).…”

The global climate change and rapidly growing population over the decades are creating an enormous burden on conventional energy sources. Global environmental concern is expected for proper planning of renewable sources to increase a positive impact on global warming. The hybrid renewable energy system is proposed for optimum sizing, costing, quality and reliability of supply for the standalone system. This research study also includes a multi-objective optimization of the net present cost, fuel cost, operating cost and cost of energy of the hybrid system. A hybrid renewable energy system has been designed which includes solar, wind, battery and diesel generator for a standalone off-grid. The simulation and techno-economic analysis of case studies indicate that the hybrid system decreases the operating cost according to meteorological conditions. The employed algorithm for power management, results in minimum use of diesel generator and a reduction in fuel cost. Furthermore, the proposed system shows better results when analyzed for loss of power supply probability, renewable factor, carbon content and sensitivity. Thus, the proposed model proves that minimum utilization of diesel generator requires maximum utilization of renewable energy sources, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing global warming.
