A Comparative Study of Design and Techniques for Retrofitting an Existing Structure by Cost-Benefit Analysis| Chapter 6 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 3

 Retrofitting of some random construction is finished to work on its solidarity and execution. In many situations, retrofitting is finished to work on seismic strength and execution, but in this examination retrofitting methods are used to change the utilitarian utilization of a design, to be more exact, the plan is to change a business 10 story structure into a server farm building. To incorporate the extra burden boundaries, rather than complete remaking, retrofitting arrangements are to be taken on, which decreases cost, work and is very energy and climate cognizant. The said structure was displayed utilizing the E-Tabs programming, with proper burden boundaries. Moreover, the adjusted burden boundaries for the server farm would similarly be analyzed to figure out the degree of disappointment and would help in demonstrating the proper retrofitting answer for enhance what is going on. Notwithstanding the execution of retrofitting procedures, we conceived a little factual model (Money saving advantage Investigation) which assisted us with clarifying the requirement for an ordinary methodology. This undertaking is state of the art as in a feasible methodology in the development business is tried to, checking out at the requirement for energy productivity.

Techno-Economic Analysis of Retrofitted Electric Coaster Introduction in University Campus | Chapter 10 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 13

 Green transportation focuses on resource economy and effectiveness, which results in a lower carbon footprint and a healthier environment for the country by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The final solution may be promising new technology, but innovation will only happen if society plays a key role in the development of electric vehicles that reduce carbon emissions. Understanding how markets work to save fuel is essential for designing effective and cheap policies that enable the development of low-carbon technologies in line with political objectives. The purpose of this study is to build a 14-seat all-electric mini-coaster by retrofitting a diesel Mercedes-Benz Van with a 15-kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery (LiFePO4). An AC induction motor with a max power of 60 kW and torque of 150 Nm drives the coaster. As an auxiliary battery, a 3.44 kWh lithium battery is used to power the battery cooling system and the passenger compartment cooling system. The coaster can travel 40 kilometres on a single fully charged battery. Depending on Malaysian fuel rates, the coaster's power consumption is 340 Wh/km [cost USD 0.025 (RM0.12) per kilometre]. When powered by a battery, the coaster's real operating costs are RM144 per month, and RM600 per month when powered by an internal combustion engine. As a result, both the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) and the environment gain from the cost-effective electric mini-coater.
