ISBN-13: 9783031411472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023

Opis

This book explores the theoretical background and provides an experimental analysis of using natural energy resources in sustainable building design. It brings together an international group of contributors focusing on ways natural energy, lighting, and ventilation can improve the performance of electrical, lighting, and mechanical systems. Contributions explore how natural resources can contribute to sustainable development goals while meeting energy demands and maintaining acceptable interior air quality and natural illumination needs. Coverage includes green building design, renewable energy integration, photovoltaic systems, small-scale wind turbines, natural lighting, and natural ventilation. Natural Energy, Lighting, and Ventilation in Sustainable Buildings offers practical and promising solutions for novel challenges in sustainable design for electrical engineers, energy engineers, architectural engineers, and related professionals, as well as researchers and developers from engineering science.

O autorze

Dr. Morteza Nazari-Heris is an Assistant Professor at Lawrence Technological University. Before joining Lawrence Tech, he worked as Graduate Research Assistant in Areas of National Need at Pennsylvania State University and earned his Ph.D. specializing in energy systems. During his graduate studies at Penn State, he performed projects on future, flexible, equitable, and robust networks of charging stations for high adoption of electric vehicles, application of machine learning and deep learning methods to energy systems, and sustainable design of buildings with renewable energy sources and energy storage facilities. He has also obtained B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tabriz, where he worked on design and performance analysis of zero-energy buildings, residential load energy management, and multi-carrier energy systems. Dr. Nazari-Heris has an academic background in the techno-economic-socio analysis of critical infrastructure, including the transportation and energy sectors, life-cycle analysis, and research. During his time as Assistant Professor and Research Assistant, he has delivered four research projects and has authored 63 technical journal articles, 28 conference proceedings papers, and 28 book chapters. In the past decade, he has had a strong background as a researcher in universities in different countries, working on several small-scale projects, which revolved around the power network in different regions, short-term and long-term planning, and optimal energy management systems considering demand and generation side management, load forecasting, optimal power flow, dynamic pricing, sensitivity analysis, and market mechanism design. Dr. Nazari-Heris is an expert in transportation electrification and energy systems, focusing on developing tools for the intelligent, sustainable, and resilient transportation system and energy sector, infrastructure systems, communities, and cities. His main areas of interest are energy system operation, energy management, sustainability, zero-energy Buildings, transportation electrification, electric vehicles, microgrids, multi-carrier energy systems, renewables, and energy storage technologies.
