17 Oct The use of natural agents and renewable and recoverable energy sources in refrigeration and climate conditioning facilities / Utilizarea agenţilor naturali şi a surselor de energie regenerabile şi recuperabile în instalaţiile frigorifice şi de climă

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)
2012
This paper attempts to examine the issue of air conditioning which must meet the following requirements: to conserve the energy, to protect the environment and to be compact as geometry. For this purpose are presented air conditioning refrigeration systems that use renewable energy sources (solar energy), natural refrigerants for environment protection, under international norms and compact heat exchangers (plate, microchanels).

17 Oct Heat island mitigation in urban environments through green surfaces integration in the building envelope / Diminuarea efectelor insulei de căldură în aglomerările urbane utilizând soluţii specifice clădirilor verzi

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)
2013
This paper supports the validity of green surface integration solutions by analyzing their effects on indoor climate, in comparison with conventional systems. The analysis is based on computer simulated models of the heat transfer phenomena under variable conditions, with respect to external climatic parameters influenced by the Heat Island effects.
