Abstract:
Most of the power generated nowadays is produced using fossil fuels, which emit tons of carbon dioxide and other pollution every second. More importantly, fossil fuel will eventually run out. In order to make the development of our civilization sustainable and cause less harm to our environment, people are looking for new source of substitute clean energy. Because of the increasing demands in clean energy, the solar energy industry is one of the fastest growing forces in the market. There are several major directions for solar technology development. This work describes a research effort that aims of developing solar models for housing suitable for the Iraq since the Iraq is excelled with very high levels of solar radiation. Also the focus is to achieve energy efficiency through utilizing solar energy and conserving energy. This task can be accomplished by implementation the major elements related to energy efficiency in housing design, and to minimizing the consumption of solar energy for providing the suitable air-conditioner to the inhibitor of the solar house. The analysis regarding the possibilities for energy-efficient housing reveals the potential savings in terms of energy and pollution. A RETScreen software was used to study a multi-unit residential building in terms of the electrical power needed per square meter the type of fuel used and the loads in the building in terms of (lighting, fans, cooling systems, heating), its annual initial costs, the type of fuel used in the base case (conventional energy) and the proposed case(renewable energy). It was concluded that changing fuel to a type of renewable energy reduces the consumption of conventional fuel and provides fuel and cost that increases economic interest.
