Abstract
The study shows that oil production and consumption in the various sectors accounted for over 80% of the rising GHG emissions, especially CO2. Additionally, the study examines the solar PV potential of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using computational modelling. The results show that the yearly average global horizontal irradiation (GHI), direct normal radiation (DNI), and diffuse horizontal irradiations (DHI) are 2244 kW/m2, 1967 kW/m2, and 863.3 kWh/m2, respectively. Other results are the yearly sum of monthly global tilted irradiation (GTI) and an average yearly daily sum of GTI are 2348.4 (kWh/m2) and 6.44 (kWh/m2), respectively. These results show that Jeddah has huge solar PV potential.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies is a quarterly publication concerned with the challenge of climate change and its effects on the built environment and sustainability. The Journal publishes original, quality research papers on issues of climate change, sustainable development and the built environment related to architecture, building services engineering, civil engineering, building engineering, urban design and other disciplines. It features in-depth articles, technical notes, review papers, book reviews and special issues devoted to international conferences. The journal encourages submissions related to interdisciplinary research in the built environment. The journal is available in paper and electronic formats. All articles are peer-reviewed by leading experts in the field.
