Design of Sustainable Buildings with Renewables
Sustainable buildings, also known as green buildings, have received significant attention globally in recent decades. This is the key solution to tackle the energy crisis caused by conventional buildings, which currently consume 30–40% of the world’s annual energy. The usage of such a higher energy further causes an increase in the prices of fossil fuel oils and, consequently, conventional buildings contribute a high amount of CO2 emission to greenhouses. The purpose of this chapter is to create a model of a conceptual sustainable building simulation that reduces the impact of CO2 emission, consumes less fossil fuel oil, and is materially sustainable under natural conditions. The design uses the maximum efficiency of renewable energy of wind turbines and solar panel cells, where the basic solar panel cell efficiencies are 5–20% and optimized for higher performance using intelligent mechatronic system methods. In addition, this chapter develops a method that eases the process of increasing solar panel cell efficiency. To obtain optimized designed solar panel cell generation, solar panel cells are modeled using simulation software applications, “Autodesk Revit and Dynamo (script programing language)”, which enable solar panel cells to trace the maximum sunlight intensity. Furthermore, the achievement of optimized energy usage and the integration of renewable energy with smart grids and the Internet of Things (IoT) can provide smart control applications and wise operational systems.
