    Monitoring of energy exergy efficiencies and exergoeconomic parameters of geothermal district heating systems (GDHSs)
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2009) Ozgener L.; Ozgener O.
    In this work, the monitoring energy and exergy efficiency results of the last heating seasons of operation of the geothermal district heating systems (GDHSs) and their technical availability analysis and monitoring exergoeconomic parameters are presented. The case studies cover the actual system data taken from the systems in Afyon and Salihli GDHSs, Turkey. General energy, exergy, technical availability, and exergoeconomic analysis of the GDHSs are introduced. Furthermore, the average technical availability, real availability, capacity factor and energy and exergy efficiencies value of GDHSs have been analyzed. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    A low-cost air quality monitoring system based on Internet of Things for smart homes
    (IOS Press BV, 2022) Taştan M.
    Global climate change and COVID-19 have changed our social and business life. People spend most of their daily lives indoors. Low-cost devices can monitor indoor air quality (IAQ) and reduce health problems caused by air pollutants. This study proposes a real-time and low-cost air quality monitoring system for smart homes based on Internet of Things (IoT). The developed IoT-based monitoring system is portable and provides users with real-time data transfer about IAQ. During the COVID-19 period, air quality data were collected from the kitchen, bedroom and balcony of their home, where a family of 5 spend most of their time. As a result of the analyzes, it has been determined that indoor particulate matter is mainly caused by outdoor infiltration and cooking emissions, and the CO2 value can rise well above the permissible health limits in case of insufficient ventilation due to night sleep activity. The obtained results show that the developed measuring devices may be suitable for measurement-based indoor air quality management. In addition, the proposed low-cost measurement system compared to existing systems; It has advantages such as modularity, scalability, low cost, portability, easy installation and open-source technologies. © 2022 - IOS Press.
