Frequency Inverters in Green Building for Energy Saving
In China's power consumption, the power consumption by buildings accounts for around 32 percent. And 40% of all energy in Europe and North America is consumed in buildings.
The biggest share of this energy (power comsumed in buildings) is consumed in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. Thus the savings potential in HVAC applictions is big.
Nowadays grean buildings are popular in the world.
But what's grean building?
The definition of grean building From Wikipedia is presented below:
A green building, also called sustainable building, is an outcome of a design which focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use — energy, water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
1. Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
2. Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
3. Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
From the definition above for green buildings, the relationship for grean building and frequency inverter (ac drive, variable frequency drive) is on the matter of energy (power). And from the research, we know that the biggest share of the energy (power comsumed in buildings) is comsumed in HVAC applications. If we widely apply frequency inverters (ac drives, variable frequency drives) in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications of buildings, the advantage of frequency inverters (ac drives, variable frequency drives) is obvious: dramatic energy conservation by frequency inverters (frequency converters). Less energy is comsumed by buildings (green buildings), then power consumption by the world is less, our world will be more beautiful.
Of course, there are many factors that will affect grean buildings. We just discuss frequency inverters in grean buildings here for energy conservation.
