The performance of photovoltaic (PV) and solar collectors are compared in meeting the heating and cooling demand of a residential house using 100% solar energy through TRNSYS modelling of five systems that use air source heat pump and seasonal energy storage as optional assisting technologies. The results show that in a large scale, the PV working with air source heat pump is more efficient than the solar collector system. However, the photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) is the most spatially efficient with an energy capacity of 551 kWh/m 2 , 10.6% higher than that of the PV. Compared with the air source heat pump heating system using grid power, using solar energy regardless of system formats can reduce emission by 72% in a lifetime of 20 years. Solar energy can become cost-effective if the utility price is increased to above 0.7 CNY/kWh. The results can help in renewable planning in the studied climate.","PeriodicalId":157705,"journal":{"name":"City and Built Environment","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135963920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was to assess urban expansion, landuse dynamics and their effects on land surface temperature in the area. The study used four multi-date imageries of the area. Landsat 7 ETM + , 1990, 2000, 2012, and Landsat 8 OLI/TIR, 2021 were collected from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website were used. The ArcGIS 10.1 environment was utilised to clip the area of interest, and ERDAS Imagine remote sensing software was employed to efficiently improve and categorise the images. The images were then divided into five major: cultivation, built-up area, vegetation, water body, and bare soil using a maximum likelihood supervised classification algorithm. These categories were then utilised to conduct time series analysis or change detection analysis. Results of this study revealed that the built-up area has changed over the preceding three decades because of urban expansion. The built-up area increased from 19.83 km 2 to 35.67 km 2 in 2012 and 44.84 km 2 in 2021, indicating increases of 14.93% to 79.87% and 25.71%, respectively, whereas the vegetative land cover decreased from -0.11% to -3.01 48% and 12.75% during the study period. Findings revealed that anthropogenic factors including urbanisation and agricultural expansion, have significantly altered the surface and atmospheric characteristics of the study area, causing a variety of heat patterns within the area. The built-up area had average temperatures between 35.05 °C and 36.16 °C between 1990 and 2021, which indicated a higher temperature with evidence of an urban heat island. This study concludes that the city’s land surface temperature is rising and that the expanding built-up area’s density and a corresponding decline in vegetation over time significantly impact it. Therefore, the study suggests cultivating and maintaining trees, promoting green environment,, public awareness, campaigns and education on actions that aggravate high temperatures are also required.","PeriodicalId":157705,"journal":{"name":"City and Built Environment","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135110875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
