Abstract

This paper aims to reduce energy consumption in an administrative university building, serving as a case study in Egypt. The lighting, and the air conditioners (ACs) represent the main energy-consuming load sectors in administrative buildings. The energy saving stems from identifying the energy saving opportunities in the building. Among these opportunities are replacing existing technologies with more efficient ones, such as retrofitting of the building with IoT based energy management systems, and replacement of conventional window glass by smart glass to optimize solar gain over the summer and winter seasons of the year. To limit the energy purchased from the utility grid to meet the load demand of these sectors, available renewable solar energy sources are harnessed. The outcomes of IoT-renovation of the lighting and ACs could save an annual energy of 947.89 and 506.35 MWh, with a respective payback period of 5.69 and 15.84 Years. The smart glazing could also save an annual energy of 308.5 MWh with a payback period of 4.05 years. As a test example, the installation of IoT-based smart appliances in a selected office in the building is attempted and found to save 5.03 kWh/day, which corresponds to 26.85% of the daily energy consumption of the office.

The other headings should be written with uppercase letters starting from a new line. Other than the main heading, all headings should be written with lowercase letters except the first letter of the heading.The author to whom correspondence should be addressed must be indicated by an asterisk. Acceptable similarity rate for the article is ≤ 20%.  


Abstract

Research papers and reviews begin with an abstract (250 words) which should comprise a brief factual account of the contents of the paper, with emphasis on new information. Abbreviations and jargon must not be used. The abstracts should be suitable for use by abstracting services without rewriting. Abstract for a maximum of 250 words should be placed after the address of the author and one blank line. After one blank line from the abstract Key Words be written italics.

Francisco Javier ABARCA-ALVAREZ

Professor and researcher at the University of Granada with different affiliations at the Department of Urban and Spatial Planning since 2002. In recent years, his research has focused on the development of decision support methodologies and tools, based on databases and the use of advanced knowledge generation techniques (e.g. machine learning, artificial neural networks, semantic mapping models (Self Organizing Maps -SOM-), predictive models, etc.), in order to improve the quality of urban and rural life, the sustainability and resilience of urban settlements and their inhabitants, as well as the reduction of inequality and social vulnerability.
The methodologies developed for the generation of knowledge through the interpretation of surveys and spatial and territorial analysis, using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, previously validated by academia in numerous international Conferences (e.g. CAEPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, etc.), and published in several scientific publications in high impact journals and indexed in JCR (e.g. European Planning Studies, Entropy, Journal of Maps, Int. J. Env.Res.Public Health, ISPRS Int.Journal of Geo-Information, Sustainability, Applied Sciences, EURE, etc.).
Recently, it has been transferring these advances and methodologies to society through research contracts for which it is responsible. In this way, he has led the academic coordination of research contracts linked to large international projects in which tools oriented towards information management and decision support with the aid of Artificial Intelligence. Among them we can highlight contracts in which the methodologies implemented allow for the extraction of evidence that facilitates international organisations to prioritise the distribution of humanitarian resources available for humanitarian emergencies. This approach can be seen in three EU-funded projects (DG ECHO/AM/BUD/2021/91013 for implementation in Central America 2021, DG ECHO/-AM/BUD/2021/91021 for implementation in Venezuela, Colombia and Peru 2021, and ECHO/-AM/BUD/2020/91013 in Central America in 2020). These methodologies have also been applied in a US government-funded project (Food For Progress FFPR Program) to improve understanding of the humanitarian crises resulting from dependence on certain crops in Central America. The US NGO CRS and the Guatemalan NGO ACH have funded research contracts aimed at improving the understanding and humanitarian response to migration phenomena in the region of Guatemala and Nicaragua, using AI. Similarly, data analysis, studies and research have been carried out for use by the UN-WFP World Food Programme. At national level, transfer activities have also been developed, e.g. with the Secretary of State for Tourism of the Spanish Government (SEGITTUR), through the financing of tourism information analysis using advanced techniques; and with the Rizoma Foundation, for the EDUSI of Malaga.
He carries out his research at the Urbanism Laboratory of the University of Granada (RNM-357), being Principal Investigator and participating researcher in several regional research projects. Among them, it is worth highlighting its presence as Principal Investigator in several projects, e.g.: (i) monitoring and prediction of humanitarian vulnerability in Sahel (2020-22, funded by AACID, Junta de Andalucía, exp. 2021UI008, 97,500€); (ii) creation of a monitoring and prediction system for FNS in Central America (2021-23, funded by AACID, Junta de Andalucía, exp. 2020UI008, 84,350€); (iii) assessment of tourist conflicts in historic centres (2021-23, funded by the Operational Programme ERDF Andalusia, exp. UMA20-FEDERJA-005, 29,049€); and (iv) evaluation of urban form in social perception (2015, funded by the Campus of Excellence BioTIC University of Granada, exp. V1-2015, 4,500€). He has also participated as a researcher in several projects including: (i) project for the study of tourism conflicts in Andalusia post-COVID19 (2021-23, funded by the Andalusian Plan for Research, Development and Innovation PAIDI, previous Excellence, Junta de Andalucía, exp. P20_01198, 40.568,06€); (ii) project studying the influence of urban attractiveness on walkability in Andalusian cities (2021-23, funded by the Consejería de Vivienda de la Junta de Andalucía, exp. UGR.20-13, 43,454.54€); and (iii) project oriented to the analysis of urban scenarios in the face of climate change (2012-16, Research Projects of Excellence funded by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Enterprise of the Andalusian Regional Government, P12-RNM-1514, 104,725€).
