Energy consumption in buildings has been an important share for the global energy demands. Building nearly accounts for 40% of total global energy consumption hence one of the biggest consumers of electricity. This paper aims to harvest the potential of rainwater potential energy to power the buildings during rainy season hence provide them with a clean renewable source of energy so that we could solve two major world’s issue that is Energy and Pollution. A sample model of the building was studied and then calculations were carried out using the fundamental principle of fluid mechanics and turbomachinery. Keywords: Buildings, Hydro-Power Plant, Rainwater, renewable energy, turbine, Potential energy. Introduction In context to the present scenario of energy demand rising all over the world especially in developing countries, new and best ideas are coming regularly. One of the ideas is of Hydro Power Plant which is an extension of rainwater harvesting, in which along with the harvesting of rainwater we can also produce electricity through the rain water without polluting or leaving any adverse or side effects to the environment as well as the ecological and sociological system. This green energy idea can provide about 90 kW of energy which can fulfil the energy needs of about 150 families of about 5 members in a family. Since the major part of the energy is consumed by the high rising buildings so we made an effort to fulfil the energy
In addition, we depend on oil and natural gas for energy to drive our cars, heat our houses, provide air
This was done because it helped organize where different type of hydropower plants were going to be built based on the location. Ten percent of the United States electricity comes from hydropower plants. Still many countries, including the United States, use polluted energy source. These energy sources are nuclear, coal, gas, and petroleum. Every country are able to use clean reliable energy such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar power.
After the mountains there will be the another coal mining site. Nearly every American is a part of the issue since we rely on electricity daily and demand that it is reliable, and easily accessible across the continental United States. We are the problem. The documentary did give brief alternative to meeting energy needs which would be done by constructing windmills along mountain ridges. No one person in the documentary mentioned that the aesthetic value would go down after constructing windmills.
“The use of this particular solar plant was able to provided electricity to over 14,000 homes, in terms it avoided the CO2
It is the goal of the United Nations to ensure that the world’s population has access to energy that is reliable, sustainable, affordable and modern by 2030. Will we know the goal has been accomplished? There are five targets set that need to be reached to consider the goal accomplished. The third deals with something concrete: doubling the world’s energy efficiency. The other four are more abstract.
This cuts down on the cost of having to pay for more energy
The world is changing now. The climate around the world is rising due to all the greenhouse gasses that have been produced by generating electricity. 35% of the energy we use now is petroleum, 20% natural gasses, and 18% with
It uses flowing water to generate electricity. It does this by using dams and reservoirs for storage. This method gives us the most electricity rather than any other renewable energy source. Not only do the dams and reservoirs create electricity, they also control flooding (Sambu). Hydropower is the least expensive procedure to generate electricity.

3 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 INTRODUCTION Energy analysis of buildings helps to simulate the amount of energy used in a building. It is very important as it helps to discover and ascertain new ways of conserving energy and ensuring energy efficiency of building components. Building developers, construction engineers are increasingly interested in creating more energy efficient reason, and for this purpose whole building energy simulation programs are being used to determine strategies that save energy and are cost effective. The most common way available to perform this building energy analysis is to implement building information modelling(BIM). Building Information Modelling(BIM) consists of a digital representation of physical and functional
Introduction In today’s world, most developing countries are in a race to build up the necessary infrastructure to scale up there operations and become the next global superpower. In this process, a lot of energy is consumed – be it for transportation, manufacturing or construction. This rapid growth of energy use seen over the past two decades have raised concerns for governments and energy-related organizations alike. Questions with regard to the supply, sustainability and exhaustion of energy sources abound, and while most developed countries have taken active steps to reduce consumption of scarce resources, the position of developing countries in this regard is still lacking.
Hydropower 4) Geothermal 5) Solar All electricity sources, renewable and nonrenewable, have advantages and deficiencies. Factors are includes: • Maintenance cost • Feasibility analysis. • Initial cost.
Instead of burning fossil fuels that will be depleted within short generation, alternative energies such as the wind turbine or solar panels needs to be implemented to sustain and care for the resources that remain. The concept of reducing our Carbon footprint in the world is the more modern way of looking at sustainable living, in which the World realises humans have not used resources wisely. By looking at the changes over the past centuries, an International network of scientists have unanimously concluded that human society is altering natural functions in three fundamental ways. And consequently, they were able to define four basic conditions that must be met if we want to maintain the environmental services that sustain human society.
One of the greatest issues that we face towards the environment has been an increasingly difficult problem over the last few years. Earths climate is changing at rapid paces and solutions are needed as quickly as possible to replenish natural ecosystems and cultures that depend on the environment. Climate change not only affects the animals in our ecosystem, but us humans as well. With the human population increasing every year, climate change is only getting worse. Many argue that the effects of climate change towards the environment are due to other extraneous factors, however, I myself am a strong believer that the problems such as rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and natural disasters are all due to both natural causes and human activity.
