Ice-Houses: Energy, Architecture and Sustainability presents new and novel technologies and approaches surrounding daily and seasonal ice storage, along with discussions on passive cooling and natural technologies using different methods, including heat pumps. The book covers different aspects of ice-houses and cold energy production, storage and utilization. By addressing various issues connected to the technology and structure of traditional ice-houses and natural and artificial ice making, this refences looks at new technological approaches for the reduction of electrical energy consumption in buildings. Users will find this to be a comprehensive overview of ice house storage that includes worked examples and global case studies. It is an essential resource for researchers and engineers looking to advance their understanding of this method of thermal storage. - Includes worked examples which calculate and determine the amounts of different parameters to help better understand the problem-solving process - Provides a comprehensive literature review on the history and architecture of ice-houses, along with different ice production and storage methods - Contains recent developments related to cold energy production and storage through ice making to reduce electricity demand
This unique volume provides the only holistic treatment of wind towers, a core aspect of sustainable architecture in hot, arid climates. The authors explain how traditional incarnations of these structures provide significant decreases in energy consumption through their use of renewable wind resources to cool buildings and water storage facilities. Beginning with the underlying scientific principles, the design and operation of wind towers is explained in depth and suggestions for optimization are provided, supported by the authors' findings from recent analytical studies.
With over 23 years of university teaching experience, Doctor Bahadori compares the life on this planet with going to a university: The University of Life. In this University everyone is both a student & a teacher, & all Earth's natural resources are the University's supporting staff. The University of Life is established for us to learn that each of us is a unique & beautiful manifestation or face of God; that each of us is playing a very important role in His drama of Creation. Life's important lesson is to teach me to recognize myself as one with everyone, with everything, & with God. I begin to consider everyone as my brother or sister, & every plant, insect, & animal as my cousin. In the University of Life I accept every event as part of my learning process, & every person in my life as a teacher. I accept the way everyone is learning his own lessons, too. If I find that I can help my fellow students & myself learn our lessons more effectively, I will do so, yet always with total love for them & myself. This way, perhaps we can all graduate sooner from The University of Life.
