Barriers to Adoption of Energy-efficient HVAC Systems in Middle-class Households in Pakistan

Buildings and additional structures utilize a significant helping of the energy in the sphere. HVAC systems are mostly responsible for building energy use in middle class households in Pakistan. This study proposes a simulation-based optimization approach for efficiently measuring HVAC systems choices in the early design stages to get the optimal configuration in middle class households in Pakistan. This strategy is applied establishing HVAC systems in middle class households in Pakistan. The ventilated Dunkel cycle performs better than the other two designs for high COP systems in all three climate zones; nevertheless, ventilation is the superior choice in middle class households in Pakistan. Systematic simulations can help with the difficult process of optimizing HVAC systems designs in middle class households in Pakistan. This invention will assist HVAC systems design are selecting the optimal systems configuration and design parameters during the early design phase by accounting for various middle-class households in Pakistan.
