Energy is something that we are using in our daily life on our planet earth to power our machines and bring comfort to our lives. 

Electricity and Heat are the most common types of energy that we are using in our homes. 

we use electricity to turning lights on, washing clothes, playing video games, cooling ourselves in hot days of summer, having access to the internet, watching television and taking shower by cleaned and pumped water into our homes, etc. we also consume fuels to heat ourselves in winter and cold days.

Energy Flow Chart

The energy flow diagram is based on primary energy, secondary energy and the types of energy carriers. Types of primary energy are coming to power converting systems and then, go to end-user as electricity or refined fossil fuels.  We made the model of the process in the picture above.

Solar Thermal System

By
Sun is a free source of energy that we use it to generate electricity with photovoltaics but that's not all the story about it. Solar thermal energy is another form of energy in solar beams emitted by the sun to the earth as a reason for the vaporization of seawater. Also, solar thermal energy causes the flows of air - winds and flows in oceans all around the globe. It changes the seasons of the year.  Additionally, solar thermal energy is a source of heat in passive or direct forms like preheating or warming water or air by solar collectors to run a power plant, provide domestic hot water or using solar radiation coming through windows directly into space. Now it is possible to use this clean and free energy in our homes and for portable use by application of new packaged collector technologies. So our team designed a solar thermal system in details on the roof of the building. This is a simple design of a solar thermal system.

HVAC system and TES

By
This is a preliminary design of thermal energy storage for an office building project by our team. You can see the chiller, AHU, cooling tower and thermal energy storage designed and placed on the roof of the building.  We represented the channels for air distribution and the piping system from the mechanical room from the basement of the building for heating purposes. By understanding the position for each equipment you can focus on the designation of a certain part of the system.
