A sustainable Heating Solution for Multifamily Residential Buildings in Cold Climates

November 23, 2021

Conference proceedings talk, IEEE Conference - IRSEC’21/Virtual, Morocco

This talk was presented virtually at 9th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference - 2021. In this presentation, a municipal sewage heat recovery system is proposed to supply the thermal demand of the multifamily residential building with 826 apartment units throughout the year. A Solar-PV system that feeds energy to the heat pumps and water pumps of the sewage heat recovery system is proposed to make it 100 % green. Technical and economic aspects of the project are discussed in the analysis. Access Presentation Video

Field-scale experimental and numerical analyses of a downhole coaxial heat exchanger: a closed loop solution for extraction of medium to high temperature geothermal energy

July 25, 2021

Conference proceedings talk, 15th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HEAT TRANSFER, FLUID MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS, Virtual Conference

I this conference, I presented the results of field-scale experimental and numerical analyses of a 500 m deep coaxial borehole heat exchanger system for a geothermal power generation application.It is the second field-test experiment on coaxial borehole heat exchanger system for power generation application after 1991 in Hawaii.

Evaluation of a novel integrated solar-borehole thermal energy storage system for residential high-rise building heating applications

November 23, 2020

Conference proceedings talk, International Conference on Applied Energy, Bangkok/Virtual

This talk was presented by my co-cuthor Dr. Leyla Amiri on International Conference on Applied Energy. This study performs the design and performance analysis of a novel solar-borehole thermal energy storage system to supply a complete heating solution to a residential high-rise building located in Ontario, Canada.
