Energy efficiency in smart schools using renewable energy strategy
As smart schools increasingly rely on technology, achieving energy efficiency becomes crucial for cost reduction and sustainability. This study investigates energy efficiency strategies in smart schools, focusing on the integration of renewable energy technologies. A quantitative approach using numerical simulations and literature reviews establishes benchmarks for energy-efficient smart schools. The Design Builder software is employed to evaluate system performance, with validation achieved through analysis in the System Advisor Model software. The modeled smart school building in Design Builder consumes 75,385.63 kWh annually, based on the weather conditions of specific location. Further studies indicate that integrating photovoltaics and hot water collectors can generate approximately 86,635 kWh annually. This not only offsets the energy consumption of building but also produces an excess of 11,249 kWh, which can be transferred back to the grid for additional revenue. Validation using SAM software demonstrated a minimal difference (3.2%) in annual energy outputs, confirming the accuracy of the model. The findings suggest that photovoltaics and hot water collectors can significantly contribute to achieving net-zero energy consumption in smart school buildings. Additionally, a focus on rooftop installations promotes sustainability by minimizing land use.
