Applying the Principles of Green

Architecture for Saving Energy in

Buildings
The main purpose of this paper is to ignore the impact of the atmosphere surrounding the building and

the influence it has on the inner environment of the building in most structures in the cold and heated

regions. Consequently this design also ignores that the natural methods of environmental layout are

required to achieve a thermal comfort for customers (Wang et al., 2016). Green architecture assumed

that clearly affects the health of customers and stimulates the different elements of the building. In

comparison, this model can attain thermal comfort while depends on the different mechanical methods

which are expensive and energy-efficient and which effectively pollute the atmosphere. The

development of an area for illumination by using a great deal of energy to light the lamps during the

day. The main aim of the paper is to adapt the basic rules and the principles of sustainable design to

buildings to streamline energy usage by seeking structural and ecological treatments and discovering

new ways to produce and generate new and sustainable energies (Danish et al., 2016). In order for

environmental and architectural devices to have architectural and environmental principles, energy

efficiencies in buildings were achieved in accordance with (building formatting, construction

management, interface layout, thermal insulation components, natural ventilation, natural

lighting, good use of power rationalization and eventually recycling) (Wang et al., 2016). Preserving the

values of sustainable design by safeguarding the atmosphere, changing the landscape, allowing the

usage of new sources more reasonable and preserving the location, the ecosystem and on the opposite

side honoring building consumers who regard the most crucial aspects of environmental protection and

the structures. The design of the plant elements and the ability of aqua elements to provide the building
with thermal support. Take advantage of modern and renewable energy sources to supply energy such

as wind and solar energy to office buildings. The study showed that there is indeed a small existence of

apps in the local market comparison to applications in the nation (Danish et al., 2016).

The cooling purpose also increases the consumption of power in many buildings currently disregards the

weather and the effect. On the other hand, because of the continuous need for energy to design and

coexist within the buildings, there are problems with the rapid deterioration of energy. Nonetheless, all

this energy is wasted as consumers or because the buildings have been built poorly, which allows it

more energy efficient during the cycle, when we can work out how to increase energy efficiency and

decrease energy waste in return for energy savings and demand management with a little time and

effort (Wang et al., 2016). Nevertheless, architectural designers are important in solving these issues,

and there are many desirable trends using new and cost-benefitable energy that complies with the

foundations and principles of environmentally friendly green architecture. Nonetheless, all this is just to

meet the current energy needs and seek to save or consider a potential solution. The utilization of

architectural elements (sistry and inner courties) water sources, internal gards, roof gardens, due to

their ability to accomplish sustainable architecture objectives and to streamline the energy efficiency of

buildings is necessary to apply ecological engineering (negative layout for all the building) (Danish et al.,

2016). The introduction of sustainable architecture concepts and fundamentals and developments of

environmental development find the most effective means of reducing the rising energy issues. The

issue of energy efficiency ensures convenience for building consumers, not only by maintaining

convenient heat, natural lighting and natural ventilation, but by both protecting the house and supplying

it with its energy requirements by completely leveraging natural energies. It also aims to reduce power

use by utilizing storm water, grey water and construction pollutants in lieu of polluting the environment.

Green design concepts which include reuse of all these components in order to preserve a healthy

atmosphere and benefit from the latest and alternative power sources.
 GHG emission of supply chains
from different retail systems in
Europe

This study was based on research conducted by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy

Management Agency (EMA) and by INRETS (France), the University of Westminster (UK) and the

University of Namur (FUNDP). This sought, through a systematic calculation of energy consumption

across many countries, the quantity of the transport-specific emissions from GHGs at each phase of the

supply chains, and the detection of possible strategic logistics options and the possibility of a supply

chain for this strategy. Our research focused on specific products that we consider to be fresh products

(apples, tomatoes and yoghurt). This was a major aim of obtaining a complete figure on gas emissions by

means of a "typical" supply chain. The introduction of a structured system of analysis would contribute

in a relatively easy way to an effective collection of data that would not take the companies involved too

far. In accordance with these principles, the companies surveyed were mainly market leaders in the

selected product categories and the case studies were focused on products sold in high volumes and

available throughout the year (although the procurement could change in response to seasonal

problems (Sofi & Gupta, 2018). The method applied is rather extensive, with various types of transport

energy, such as diesel for freight vehicles or bunker fuel oil for ships used in the supply chains, included.

Storehouses, plants for manufacturing, distribution centers and shops have also gathered oil, gas and

electricity information. In addition, details are gathered at all stages for the tonnage of the goods that

have been produced, processed, shipped, deposited or delivered. The period unit considered was a year

for this data collection (i.e. how many tons are delivered, purchased or deposited every year (Wu et al.,

2016).
The results evaluated by the survey are presented as under:-

Fig. 1

Such data, based on primary transport and logistics information collected, illustrate the significance of

maritime transport as well as in other research findings in earlier results of this project. They also reflect

results from several researchers which included agricultural production and cooking of imported versus

domestic apples for Germany for a full life cycle (Sofi & Gupta, 2018).
Figure 2 shows very similar GHG emission levels in all four kinds of retail suppliers: almost 90 gCO2e per

kg of apples selling in the supermarket, hypermarket, open-air markets and minimarket. The two sorts

of dealers go somewhat further than the average value of' unsupplied minimarket' in the wholesale

market (and look at the quality of the product before purchasing the product) and' fruits and vegetables

store,' which is specialized in selling high-quality products (Wu et al., 2016). The technique is used to

determine the performance of GHGs for different supply chains of the same product sold across various

types of market networks in Europe. The retail kinds regarded are grocery stores, supermarkets, open

air markets, immediate basket sales of producers, farms, and e-commerce; their efficiency in GHG is

measured and compared to foodstuffs, taking into account the whole supply chain from the farm gate to

the home of customers (Sofi & Gupta, 2018). This approach to flexibility in the supply chain emphasizes

the importance of different operations in distribution networks, such as delivery, logistics, the industry

and also last-mile consumer preferences. Whilst city supermarkets, shops included within the supply

system or open air markets in the city centre, the rural and independent retail outlets with a reduced
turnover tend to be very productive. Indeed, there have been wide disparities between GHG

performance values for all these retail systems in the results of an online consumer survey. Potential

logistic choices can therefore be identified to improve the delivery chain performance (Wu et al., 2016).

For domestic apples sold in the capitales (less than 100 gCO2e / kg), the highest-performing supply

chains observed here. Similar levels of GHG emissions were found within the Paris region, about 90

gCO2e / \kg for various retail distribution chains: in the city center, supermarkets and supplies, as well

as in the open air markets. An' unsupplied minimal sector' in which its holder joins the wholesale market

and a fruit and vegetable company, which specializes in selling high-quality, new goods, had an average

value slightly higher than this, due to their less effective distribution structures. The advantages of joint

actions, models and standards are clear. The approach outlined in this paper makes it possible to

compare various supply chain configurations for GHG emissions and to find options to reduce energy

consumption in the transport of transport operations throughout the chain. This leads to ensuring that

attention is focused on crucial transport relevant actions by defining the most significant transport

practices in terms of pollution. The processing time and cost of data collection need to be combined

with the potential chance to change the supply chain and thus reduce total energy requirements.
 Energy, materials and person-
hour savings through a new
decentralized power supply for
HVAC in large buildings. A case
study: A shopping center in Spain
This paper focuses specifically in shopping malls on commercial buildings. These large commercial and

leisure areas usually have various businesses in the same building, such as restaurants, movie theater or

shops. Refrigeration is the biggest electric load in these buildings, particularly in countries which have

extreme climate like Spain (cool winters and warm summers). In the summer the demands for

refrigeration are even higher due to the high thermal load of lamps, electrical equipment, the vast

number of people, and other varied pressures (Liu, 2016). The cable selection was based on22 in this

case. In the light mainly of the current allowed in steady conditions and the short circuit present, the

cables chosen are one cable per stage, copper isolated from 95 mm2 XLPE, 12/20 kV. A cable tray,

although smaller than traditional design, is also used for this installation (Wang, Zheng & Dai, 2017). A

comparative analysis of the power and expense of conventional electrical facilities in this type of

building and the plant was carried out in order to evaluate the new design of the decentralized energy

supply presented in this article. This comparison is based in particular on actual data: the case studies

are presented as a genuine shopping center in Spain. A power building simulation package, CALENER,

was used to simulate this true commercial building in Spain to assess thermal losses. The powerful DOE-

219 software is based on CALENER (Liu, 2016). The following is the working procedure. First, a

simulation with CALENER on the basis of actual construction data allows precise data on the thermal

load and cooling needs of the building. The CALENER findings should verify the HVAC equipment
mounted in the actual building. Then, both the traditional and the new electric energy supply system are

designed to meet standards through the use of commercial power systems software simulations. First, a

comparison was made between power and the environment between the two schemes. Ultimately, this

demonstrates the difference between the released greenhouse gases (Wang, Zheng & Dai, 2017).

The main reason for reducing power losses is the reduction in the length of the low-tension cables

compared with the two systems. The overall electricity consumption is lowered from 3204 kW to 3075

kW, saving 129 kW at full capacity. The loose cables in a decentralized power supply system are reduced

from 124,8 kW for the conventional power supply system to0,6 kW (Liu, 2016). The electric cycle must

be calculated at a separate load of the chiller in order for the maximum saving to be measured over one

year. During different months of the year, the building requirements for air conditioning have been

estimated. The information was obtained using the simulation software CALENER which allows the

estimation of each chiller's annual working time according to the amount of load they use. In this

program of simulation, various parameters such as building planning, location and orientation, air

conditioning distribution, thermal insulation etc. are taken into account. There are also the results of the

simulations (Wang, Zheng & Dai, 2017). Heating and cooling systems currently represent a significant

energy consumption for thermal comfort in commercial buildings. The heating, ventilation and air

conditioning services' (HVAC) energy supply schemes historically have low efficiency. The electricity is

provided by low voltage cables from the substation to the HVAC system. The system suffers

considerable energy loss because of the long distances from the power distribution (Liu, 2016). This

paper proposes a decentralized medium voltage power distribution power supply installation that not

only achieves significant energy savings, but also significant material and hourly savings. These

improvements involve significant cost savings and CO2 emissions. In both residential and commercial

houses, the international exposure to energy consumption has steadily grown to between 20 and 40% in

the industrialized countries. Therefore energy efficiency of buildings is today at the regional, national
and international levels a prime objective of energy policy. As mentioned above, this paper focuses on

business buildings, especially shopping centres (Wang, Zheng & Dai, 2017). These large commercial and

recreational areas usually have various enterprises in the same building, including restaurants, cinemas

or shops. Cooling in these buildings is the largest electrical load, especially in Spain-like extreme climate

(cool winters and warm summers). In summer the need for refrigeration will be even higher, given the

high Thermal Lighting, Electrical Equipment, a large number of people and various types of freight (Liu,

2016). This paper suggested a new decentralized design for HVAC power supply systems. The new

design significantly reduces power losses. This savings amount to some 50 MWh / year in the case study,

accounting for 3%. However, a significant reduction in the necessary copper, plastic and steel is

accomplished in the power supply system that is planned, with considerable cost savings. The study

submitted reduces copper by approx. 18,000 kg and steel by 8,000 kg. The number of person-hours was

also reduced by 758 hours. The findings are checked on the basis of real data for a shopping center in

Spain.
 Benchmarking Energy Use of
Existing Hellenic Non-Residential
Buildings
The analysis is based on the actual data (for example type of building, age, climate area, total and

heated area as well as the calculated data (for example, energy class class ranking, calculated and

current primary energy consumption, calculated and actual carbon emissions, fuel type, proposed ECMs

(Danish et al., 2016). At the start of the analysis, a first difficult quality check of the information was

carried out. The EPCs were excluded, for example, when they were consistent with cases where an EPC

was not required (e.g. buildings for certain purposes, total floor surfaces less than 50m2), energy

inspectors who have been sanctioned and revoked their temporary licence, negative inputs, heated

spaces larger than or below 20% of the overall floor area, or 2,5%, respectively. Nero CO2 pollution

(using non-biomass fuels) and peaks (e.g. estimated primary energy usage less than 5 kWh / m2 and

more than 8000 kWh /m2) were removed in order to remove external sources of waste (Wu et al.,

2016). Data on current thermal and/or electrical energy production are only 1.2 per cent of the available

EPCs as this type of information is not obligatory for the issuance of an EPC. A direct analysis of primary

energy usage for space heating is perceived to be the first step in quantifying the difference between

measured and real energy consumption in houses. A section of the EPC list consisting of cases with a

common source of fuel (e.g. heating oil or natural gas) for space heating were used in this study. Some

basic data quality controls, including excluding 2.5 percentiles and questionable excess energy use

peaks, have been screened on the available data (Danish et al., 2016).

Greece's total buildings number 4.1 million, 20% of which are solely non-residential buildings, which

generally have high energy usage because of specific building purposes. Data from power efficiency
certificates is typically used to extract appropriate benchmarks. To order to identify the most effective

steps, proposed energy conservation initiatives are defined and analyzed. Eventually, an experimental

adaptation factor approach was established to tie the conventional measured use of heating power to

current energy usage, if possible (Wu et al., 2016). If usable. Buildings represent around ~39 percent of

the final total electricity consumption and account for ~35 per cent of the overall CO2 emissions, one of

Europe's biggest energy end-use industries. Potential energy production of 1,509 million tons of oil-

equivalent (Mtoe) and potential reduction of 12,6 gigatons (Gt) of pollution from carbon dioxide were

projected by 2050. Non-Residential buildings contribute for 25% of Europe's housing inventory and are,

because of several considerations such as consumption, power intensity, and building techniques, a

more dynamic sector relative to residential buildings (Danish et al., 2016). The research has established

Hellenic NR energy quality with EPC info. The data analysis was related to the Hellenic Tabula typologies

definition and typical framework of residential buildings. In other terms, the results group in four

construction phases and the four domestic climates. For NR houses, approximately 92.000 EPCs, the

majority constructed before 1980, were released. On average they are class D (37%), C (29%), E (18%), F

(7%), G (5%), while only 4% are classified in Class B energy or higher. The mean primary energy

measured is 461,2kWh / m2 from 162,9kWh / m2 (in children's gardens), up to 984,0kWh / m2. The

research has established Hellenic NR buildings ' current energy output using EPC data. Data analysis is

related to the Hellenic TABULA typology theory and systems of residential buildings, i.e. the clustering of

data across four development cycles and the four regional climatic zones. About 92,000 EPCs, most of

which were built before 1980, was provided for the NR houses. The energy group is shared by D (37%),-

C(29%),-E(18%),-F(7%), and-G(5%), while energy class B or more rate just 4%. The mean primary

energies were measured at 461.2 kWh / m2 from 162,9 kWh / m2 (in children's gardens) and up to

984,0kWh / m2.
