Energy and Exergy Analysis of Integrated Systems of Buildings and District Energy Plants

The purpose of the paper is to influence governments throughout the world to achieve massiveimprovements in energy and exergy performance in their respective countries by legislation and otherpolicy instruments keyed to the overall or integrated energy and exergy performance of energytransformation systems.Energy transformation systems include: all types of buildings; electric, heating, and cooling districtpower plants; water treatment plants, energy and water distribution systems; cars, trucks, buses,motorcycles, trains, planes and other powered transportation systems; and manufacturing pr

Exergy assessment of building energy use in China's hot summer and cold winter climate zone

BEU accounting and assessment is a fundamental task for development of energy efficiency in buildings. The traditional methodology is based on caloric value of energy carriers, which is only relates to energy quantity. To address a comprehensive assessment, an exergy assessment methodology is put forward in this paper. Furthermore, in existing China's statistical yearbook, there is no specific item for building energy use. This paper processes analysis for statistical yearbook and acquires relevant rough data of building energy use.
