Abstract

All the social, economic and industrial development depends on the availability of energy. Since energy demand is increasing exponentially throughout the world, more and more CO2 is being emitted out into the atmosphere, giving rise to global warming. Therefore, establishing a sustainable environment is becoming increasingly important. It has been found through research that domestic sector contributes a great deal to the rising energy consumption. Due to prevailing energy crisis, efforts are being made to reduce the increasing energy consumption and make efficient use of energy by making the buildings energy efficient. For this, realistic assessment of energy use patterns in existing houses and buildings is necessary to assure dataset accuracy. Living lab concept integrated with sensor technologies can be used for assessment of such patterns. This paper presents living lab concept for sensor-based energy performance assessment of Houses. First, detailed literature review to benchmark concepts of energy efficiency of buildings, living labs concept, sensor based assessment, energy audit, and application of living lab concept has been discussed. Thereafter, sensors based living lab assessment and living lab approach has been introduced as being utilized by the author in a research project for development of guidelines for energy efficient housing. The paper also highlights important parameters to be monitored that effect energy performance. The concept reflects usefulness of living lab concept for sensor-based energy performance assessment of houses that help in substantial reduction in the energy consumption. As such data can be utilized for both realistic energy simulations by improving level of development of models as well as better usage comparisons with modeled analysis, hence helping in identifying true and effective improvement measures

Abstract

The majority of the time, real crop water requirements are determined by combining references evaporation with crop coefficients. The crop coefficient accounts for plant transpiration and soil evaporation. The Kc values calculated with the lysimeter setup are point valued with no spatial fluctuation. Remotely detected spectral indices were used to estimate the crop coefficient in both space and time. As a result, this research was carried out to show that crop coefficients may be estimated using satellite data. The corrected satellite data for the research region were obtained/downloaded from the USGS website for the winter growing season (November to March). A hand-held GPS device was used to acquire ground truth valued. Plant heights of randomly selected plants were measured at 15 days intervals at the same time. The downloaded satellite data yielded two spectral indices: the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI).to build relationships between Kc values and spectral indices, basic linear and multiple linear regression approaches were used kc and NDVI had a great individual relationship (R2=0.92) and SAVI (R2=0.79) while the combined association of NDVI and SAVI (R2=0.94) was shown to be superior than each index’s standalone relationship. These relationships should be used to determine Kc values for wheat grown in dry areas with plenty of water.
