1. Introduction to Power Engineering 1.1 Power System Functions The traditional power system is arranged as a hierarchy. Generators feed into a high voltage transmission system that facilitates bulk transfers of power over large distances. Connected to the transmission system are medium voltage distribution networks that take power from grid supply points and deliver it to the customers who are supplied a low voltage. For a lot of its history‚ the electricity supply industry has operated as

a newly proposed commercial building‚ aimed to secure the BCA Platinum Green Mark award‚ to be completed by October 2015. The building is fully air-conditioned except for some common areas and it has a multi-storey carpark which is to be naturally or mechanically ventilated. The air-conditioning system for the building is water cooled chilled water system. The cooling load of the system is greater than 500 RT. The purpose of this project is to recommend the building owner and the design team on

What is green building? As the global climate warming‚ more and more people focus on building energy efficiency. There is more awareness that CO2 produced by building energy use is the main source of climate warming. Energy-saving buildings become inevitable trend of development‚ the green building also arises in time. Green building can be define as to the construction of the whole life cycle‚ for maximize resource conservation (epa.gov‚ 19/12/2012). It includes energy saving‚ land saving‚ water
