Project Abstract

Abstract
The increasing global demand for sustainable and energy-efficient solutions has led to the exploration of renewable energy sources for various applications, including air conditioning systems in residential buildings. This research focuses on the design and optimization of a solar-powered air conditioning system tailored for residential buildings. The aim is to develop a system that maximizes energy efficiency, reduces reliance on traditional electricity grids, and minimizes environmental impact. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review to understand the current state of solar-powered air conditioning systems, including their design, performance, and limitations. The study will also analyze various solar technologies, energy storage options, and air conditioning system components to identify the most suitable configurations for residential applications. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key areas related to solar-powered air conditioning systems, renewable energy technologies, energy storage solutions, and building energy management. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the system design process, simulation tools, data collection methods, experimental setup, and performance evaluation metrics. This chapter also discusses the selection criteria for solar panels, energy storage systems, and air conditioning components based on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility. Chapter Four presents the findings of the research, including system performance data, energy consumption analysis, simulation results, and optimization strategies. The discussion highlights the key design considerations, challenges encountered during the implementation phase, and potential improvements for future iterations of the system. In conclusion, Chapter Five summarizes the research outcomes, implications for residential building design and energy management, and recommendations for further research. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on renewable energy applications in air conditioning systems and provides valuable insights for engineers, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking sustainable solutions for residential energy consumption. Overall, this research project aims to advance the development of solar-powered air conditioning systems for residential buildings, promoting energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and reducing carbon footprint in the built environment.
