| Abstract | Thermal comfort in buildings using energy efficient methods has attracted lots of attentions during last few decades. In the present paper, the feasibility of using thermoelectric (TE) modules to provide cooling for a residential building located in Melbourne, FL is studied. It is assumed that photovoltaic (PV) panels are used to provide necessary power for TE operation. The building roof is covered with PV panels and an air channel is installed on the bottom of the panels. The TE modules are located inside the air channel and are attached to a metal sheet from the bottom which constructs the ceiling of the building. The metal sheet on the ceiling cools down in summer to provide space cooling through natural convection and radiation. A mathematical model is developed to simulate the system in MATLAB. The simulation results include transient temperature values through each layer of the system and heat removal/rejection rates from thermoelectric modules. A specific temperature is defined for thermal comfort and the number of TE modules that is required to maintain the temperature below the limit is determined. The results suggest that TE modules can be successfully used for building cooling applications. Further investigation and experiments are required for a comprehensive design of the system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
