Auditing and managing energy consumption in pool of imam Khomeini University of naval forces

Abstract

In recent years, because of various reasons of auditing and calculating necessity for the rate of energy consumption and its savings have been as certain necessity. Among this, construction section has allocated more than one third of country’s energy consumption to itself that its value has been determined more than 6 billion dollars annually according to world prices. Now considering less attention to energy, almost all country’s buildings don’t have technical regulations for preventing wasting heat or cold energy and considering that swimming pools are building with high energy consumption and energy is used there mediating various factors, this research is sought to investigate the situation of energy consumption in pool of Imam Khomeini University Of Naval Forces. The most important energy consumer factors are sidewall thermal losses with surface evaporation of pool's water and air conditioning that finally mentioned performable solutions in pool will be investigated in terms of achieving energy consumption reduction. It is tried in this study to compare performed auditing with defined standards in nineteenth discussion of national regulations and by economic evaluating and the method of calculating return on capital of each action, the priority of doing performable actions in order to reduce energy consumption is determined and compared using existing software of modeling.
