- W4212821567 abstract "In hot-humid climates, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), ambient temperatures and relative humidity are as high as 35 °C and 84%, respectively, requiring the use of mechanical cooling systems for indoor thermal comfort. Split-type vapor-compression air-conditioners (SVAC) are mainly used for space cooling in SSA and consume 60–80% of total energy consumption in commercial and public buildings. Appropriate control strategy of the indoor set-point temperature of SVAC can result in significant energy savings in these buildings. In this study, modeling and dynamic simulation have been conducted using EnergyPlus to predict the energy saving potential and indoor thermal comfort of buildings in hot-humid climates by controlling set-point temperature of the SVAC. In a case study, climatic data for Ghana, was used to predict the energy saving potential and indoor thermal comfort. The study results revealed that, to ensure indoor thermal comfort at high outdoor temperature condition of 35 °C, the least and optimum set-point temperatures of the SVAC should be 21 °C and 25 °C, respectively. On the other hand, for low outdoor temperature condition, the least and optimum set-point temperatures were 22 °C and 26 °C, respectively. Considering 1-star and 2-star rated SVACs which are dominantly used in Ghana, operating at 21–25 °C in the case of high outdoor conditions, and 22–26 °C for low outdoor conditions relative to the least temperatures resulted in energy savings of 8–33% and 12-44%, respectively." @default.
