Subject

The Green HVAC Concept and Its Application in Taiwan
 

In an attempt to tackle the Global Warming issues and conserve building energy, a national-scale research program to renovate the HVAC systems in governmental buildings, has been launched since 2003 in Taiwan. In achieving this goal, energy-auditing and system diagnostics were performed systematically, followed by renovation strategies developed, and actual engineering jobs constructed. During this process, the Building Energy Management Systems , or simply BEMS, were installed in each project using internet, to create a real time online ICT platform for Measurement & Validation, and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing as well, so that energy savings effect can be realized quantitatively. DOE 2.1 or eQuest simulations were also applied for comparative studies, and for developing intelligent operation strategies, such as for multiple chillers, VWV and VAV systems, especially Thermal Energy Storage systems.

Introduction

 Dr. Yang has been concentrating on HVAC& R research and applications for over 25 years. He has published over 200 technical papers in this field and completed more than 100 research projects, especially in building energy applications, mainly on full-scale experimental investigation. Many parts of his research efforts has become the building energy design guidelines and is widely adapted , especially in the Green Building Rating Systems in Taiwan. He also received the Outstanding Contribution Award for Building Energy Research in Taiwan from the Ministry of the Interior in 1991.

Subject

The Cool Earth
In May 2007, the Japanese government proposed “Cool Earth” an initiative that aimed to reduce 50% of the world’s CO₂ emissions by 2050. Current technologies are in use, to achieve “Cool Earth,” the ultimate goal of which is the development of future technologies to yield zero emissions - the greatest environmental challenge facing mankind.
The Japanese government has pledged to enforce the Kyoto Protocol which, in 2008, aimed to reduce CO₂ emissions by 6% from those levels of 1990.  Recent data has shown that energy consumption in commercial buildings has actually increased by 40-50%, which has combated our efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions around the world.
During the conference, I will discuss the measures currently taken to reduce CO₂ emissions in Japan. In addition, I will highlight the importance of energy-saving efforts at commercial buildings, where energy consumption is increasing.  I shall also be introducing the latest Breakthrough Technologies, Workplace Productivity measures and Zero Energy Building objectives.
