Introduction of thermal energy storage air conditioning system for resort islands in Maldives

Abstract

Energy conservation came into the discussion more than decades ago. All the institutionalized structures in related industries embodied of highly developed capital western countries have been developing charters, standards, regulations and even constitutions to declare the foremost importance of conservation of energy. The involvement to the subject matter evolves throughout the recent persistent human civilisation into highly commercialized modern high-tech level. Single molecule of energy form is misused can keenly be tracked by the right implementation of forestated approaches of energy conservation. Building services field, without a doubt, should be accounted for considerable amount energy consuming form of man-made industry. International Energy Agency stated that buildings in the globe that operational consume nearly 30% of world energy demand. Without getting into second thought, as building services engineers, undoubtedly can say that the contribution of the Air Conditioning Systems in building shall fall at higher range of that portion. Yes, as stated again in the introductions, more than 20% of building’s total energy is consumed by the applications to keep the occupants in thermally comfortable environment as per the International Energy Agency. However, meantime in the region (specially in Sri Lanka and Maldives), by experience of nearly 8 years in the industry can identify that the honest contribution to the energy conservation or sustentation is found rarely from specially in commercial applications of air conditioning. This exercise might hopefully address the idea by formation of tactical energy restoration method from its form of state for the hotel industry.
