Energy efficiency in mine ventilation, which is responsible for a substantial amount of total energy consumption, is of paramount concern in underground mining. Achieving energy-efficient mine ventilation practices is not only important for reducing total operating and energy costs but is also potentially the most effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental and occupational health and safety. This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the literature on energy-efficient mine ventilation practices and approaches to provide the current knowledge and research frontiers on energy efficiency in mine ventilation. Successful case studies, which resulted in efficiency increases, are also included to illustrate already existing energy efficiency alternatives and energy-saving opportunities. This review is expected to provide mining professionals a tool for improving current operations and achieving best practices.

Parametric analysis of BIM-based building energy performance for supporting multi-objective optimization
Can, Esra; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-11)
Building energy efficiency comes into prominence as buildings constitute a significant portion of world energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To achieve energy-efficient buildings, energy performance assessments should be conducted meticulously, yet it is difficult to comprehensively estimate the buildings’ energy consumption since energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems that are affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climatic conditions, daylight ...
Rebound effects for households’ energy efficient vehicles
Yüksel, Dilan.; Sarı, Ramazan; Department of Earth System Science (2019)
Energy efficiency is one of the most critical dimensions in energy consumption and the technologies improving energy efficiency thus decreasing energy demand as well as greenhouse gases have been becoming widespread in recent years. On the other hand, the fact that the savings owing to the improvements in energy efficiency would not happen as expected indicates a phenomenon which has been being addressed for a long a time in the literature and practice: Rebound Effect. This concept emphasizes that the cost ...
Geochemical modeling of NCG injection in a geothermal well using doublet well model
İlgin, Buğrahan; Akın, Serhat; Erol, Selçuk; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2021-7-29)
Geothermal energy is regarded as an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, the amount of non-condensable gases (NCG), which are co-produced with brine, are significantly high in the geothermal fields of Turkey. To overcome the NCG emission produced by power plants, which is mainly CO2, one of the efficient methods is re-injecting the captured NCG into the reservoir. The ultimate aim of the reinjection is to mineralize CO2 in the reservoir as carbonate minerals. In this thesis, a reactive transp...
Evaluating the impact of different atria configurations on the energy performance of buildings in different climates
Farhoudi, Meysam; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2016)
Generally, the impact of the building sector on the world energy consumption and environmental protection is considerable; in fact, the building sector holds the half of the world total energy consumption share. Nowadays, energy efficiency phenomena as the result of several challenges that the world is encountering has become an important issue. Meanwhile, the atrium as a tool to improve the energy performance of a building can be utilized to address the high energy consumption of the conventional buildings...
CHARACTERIZATION OF LATENT THERMAL ENERGY IN A STORAGE UNIT WITH FIBONACCI-SEQUENCE-INSPIRED FINS
Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; Bayer, Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-19)
Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) is a viable method to mitigate one of the main problems with renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, which is their intermittent nature. LTES units take advantage of the large latent heat of fusion in phase change materials (PCMs) to store a substantial amount of energy in a relatively small volume, making them efficient and economical. The major challenge with PCMs is their low thermal conductivity, eventuating long melting (charging) and solidification (dischar...
