"Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand. Efficient energy management offers a cost-effective opportunity for both industrialized and developing nations to limit the enormous financial and environmental costs associated with burning fossil fuels. The implication of photovoltaic systems in particular presents the potential for clean and sustainable electrical energy to be generated from an unrestricted source. Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics demonstrates how adopting ‘best practices’ for energy management and harvesting can reduce the need to construct new generating facilities.Illustrated with figures, tables and photos, Energy management in buildings using photovoltaics provides an introduction and step by step instructions on designing and planning photovoltaic systems and energy policies for both residential and industrial buildings. With particular focus on the example of provided by European industry, the creation of energy efficient systems is explored including chapters on : zero energy buildins, photovoltaics technology, and connection of the network.;Although fossil fuels remain the primary global energy source, developing and expanding economies are creating an ever-widening gap between supply and demand.

"Inefficient energy use in buildings is both increasingly expensive and unsustainable. Indeed, the reduction of the energy consumption of existing buildings is as least as important as the design of new low-energy buildings. Controlling energy use is one thing, but it is important to assess or estimate it, and to understand the range of interventions for reducing its use and the methods for assessing the cost effectiveness of these measures. This comprehensive guide clearly and concisely covers the various issues from a theoretical standpoint and provides practical, worked examples where appropriate, along with examples of how the calculations are carried out. Topics covered include:where and how energy is used in buildings energy audits measuring and monitoring energy use techniques for reducing energy use in buildings legislative issues.It provides a template for instigating the energy management process within an organization, as well as guidance on management issues such as employee motivation, and gives practical details on how to carry it through. This book should appeal to building managers and facilities managers and also to students of energy management modules in FE and HE courses."

"In Nigeria, the economic problem of allocating energy to medicare have long been a major concern and standardized indices to be used as guidance are non-existent. This paper determines energy indices for assessment of how Nigerian hospitals prioritize their energy utilization. Systematic field surveys followed by in-depth statistical analysis were adopted. The hospitals were stratified into four categories for the investigation. Then, questionnaires were designed, randomly administered and their responses generated in conversation with workers at 70 hospitals in Nigeria. Results of the analysis show that an average hospital in Nigeria, depending on its category, uses energy as follows: rural 66.936kWh/day; urban 343.23 kWh/day; specialist 454.872 kWh/day and teaching 1,944.394 kWh/day. Lighting is shown as a critical energy function and accounts for as much as 15%, 36%, 40.5% and 69.5% of daily energy use in rural, urban, specialist and teaching hospitals, respectively. A productivity based energy performance indicator for each hospital category works out to be 3.346 kWh/bed space/day, 2.367 kWh/bed space/day, 4.548 kWh/bed space/day and 19.443 kWh/bed space/day, respectively, for typical rural, urban, specialist and teaching hospitals. The respective Building Energy Index (BEI) values for the categories of hospitals are as follows: rural 0.13 kWh/m2/day; urban 0.077 kWh/m2/day; specialist 0.088 kWh/m2/day and teaching 0.277 kWh/m2/day. The low BEI implies that the buildings have lower rates of sick building syndrome symptoms. Also, auto-generation is predominantly used in all the hospitals, when grid utility supply is unavailable."

"Indonesia mengalami peningkatan konsumsi listrik karena pertumbuhan populasi. Sebagian besar listrik yang dihasilkan menggunakan sumber daya batubara. Muncul urgensi untuk mengembangkan Energi Baru dan Terbarukan (EBT) agar dampak dari emisi karbon tidak meningkat. Salah satu alternatif EBT yang hadir di Indonesia adalah tenaga surya, namun sayangnya masih memiliki adopsi yang rendah di Indonesia meskipun potensinya besar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis alternatif kebijakan dalam rangka meningkatkan adopsi rooftop PV untuk mengurangi emisi karbon. Melalui metode sistem dinamis, model dikonstruksi untuk menguji tiga alternatif kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan net metering merupakan kebijakan yang dapat memberikan stimulus paling baik pada rumah tangga untuk mengadopsi rooftop PV. Pada skenario kebijakan ini, jumlah rumah tangga yang mengadopsi rooftop PV adalah sebesar 5.346. Selain itu, kebijakan ini juga dapat menekan jumlah emisi paling besar, yakni adalah sebesar 1.037 juta kgCO.

Indonesia experiences rapid increase in electricity consumption due to its increasing population. Coal is still become dominant contributor in Indonesias energy mix. The development of new and renewable energy becomes an important issue to reduce the carbon emission. One of the alternatives of new and renewable energy is solar photovoltaic. Unfortunately, the amount of adopters of this type of energy is still low, despite of its great potential. The aim of this research is to analyze policy alternatives to increase the adoption of rooftop PV in order to reduce carbon emission. System dynamics model is used to simulate three policies alternatives.

Result shows that net metering policies is the best alternative to be implemented, since its produces the highest result in terms of amount of household that adopts rooftop PV, which gives value 5.346 household. More than that, net metering acts as the best policy to gives the highest amount of avoided carbon emission (1.037 million kgC"
