Energy saving approaches in Building Services Engineering study

Quite a number of my final year project supervision for the Building Services Engineering students is related to energy saving approaches as applied in Buildings. Such approaches should be reviewed in the Chapter of Literature Review in Dissertation Reports. Subsequently, these energy saving approaches should drive the Research Design of the dissertation projects. As to the Research Designs of the projects, they should be explained and justified in the Chapter "Research Methods". Here I want to provide some information on Energy Saving Approaches in Built Environment as references:

1. Systems approaches (pdf): http://www.aceee.org/files/proceedings/2010/data/papers/2011.pdf
2. PMV index approach: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360132396000273

6. Regulatory and voluntary approaches (pdf): http://www.china-sds.org/kcxfzbg/addinfomanage/lwwk/data/Regulatory%20and%20voluntary%20approaches%20for%20enhancing%20building%20energy%20efficiency.pdf

From reading these articles, try to pay attention to the references mentioned and do a proper e-library search to gather more related references.


As you review these articles, you need to study the topics of (a) "Methodologies, Approaches and Methods" in Research Methods, (b) Literature Review and (c) Research Design and Research Methods so as to enable you to conduct and write a proper dissertation report. See note below:
