Harvesting Wind and Solar Energy for Off-Grid Applications in the UAE
(2014-01-05)There is a shortage of electricity in remote areas in the UAE which are away from the grid. Many people in remote locations are relying on diesel generators to meet their power demands. Extending the national electricity ... -
Solar Powered Building with Dynamic Shading System
(2014-01-19)The design and architecture of the International Royal Hotel (IRH) complies with the code of green building as the hotel does not depend solely on non-renewable energy sources. Moreover, the IRH's design is the most efficient ... -
Hybrid Car Efficiency Improvement
(2014-01-19)Our project is about increasing the efficiency of hybrid cars. Hybrid cars operate using two systems, the Internal Combustion System (ICS) and the Electric System (ES) and since they depend more on the ICS, more polluting ... -
Build it Green
(2014-01-19)In our research we have identified three main problems in conventional buildings which could be addressed by green buildings. The three problems are: CO2 Emissions, Temperature Increase and Pure Water Shortage. These factors ... -
A Sustainable Nursing Home for Senior People
(2014-01-19)Lack of staff in conventional nursing homes has been depriving senior people of their right to be treated and nurtured properly. Moreover, most of the current nursing homes are not designed to be eco-friendly, and this ... -
Green and Smart Buildings
(2014-01-19)The project talks about ways that can be implemented in buildings to make them green and smart. The climate of the UAE is the climate that the project bases its research on. The solutions provided were chosen to be up to ... -
DEFC and Panicum Virgatum to Power the Future
(2014-01-19)Many rely on fossil fuels as a primary source of energy to satisfy everyday needs of transportation and electricity. Within 45 years we will be facing a shortage of current fossil fuels thus research is being carried out ... -
Adding Sliding Solar Panels to a Hybrid Car
(2014-01-19)In our project, a hybrid solar car will be redesigned in order to increase the efficiency, reduce the carbon emissions, and minimize the cost. Our hybrid car design will consist of two solar panels on the roof of the car. ... -
Running AUS on Solar Energy
(2014-01-19)In this project, we have proposed fitting each building in AUS with Solar Panels to charge up that building during the day, and for non-renewable energy to be distributed only at night when required. By switching over to ... -
Hydrogen Fueled Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The future of energy once fossil fuels run out is in the hands of renewable sources. Our project is about Hydrogen powered vehicles and how hydrogen can be used viably as a fuel in cars. The project focuses on the problems ... -
Eco-Friendly Green Factory
(2014-01-19)The main objective of this report is to come up with Eco-Friendly Green Factories using different solutions as the waste produced by factories is harming the environment in numerous ways; noise pollution, air pollution, ... -
Sustainable Smart Houses
(2014-01-19)In this project the main aim of EMDP team is to turn smart houses to sustainable smart houses. The team focused on three major things that should be changed to have a sustainable smart house. First, reduce the usage of ... -
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The problems related to the generation of electricity to fuel vehicles are three-fold. Firstly, conventional vehicles are major contributors to pollution due to the combustion of petroleum which is leading to the depletion ... -
Recycling Household Wastes into Energy Sources
(2014-01-19) -
Photovoltaic Nano-Crystal Energy Generation
(2014-01-19)Since larger, more ecofriendly energy accumulation is needed to sustain the world’s current energy outflow, the objective of this report is to examine the efficiency and ecological healthiness of photovoltaic nanotechnology ... -
Green Ships
(2014-01-19)Our EMPD topic discusses how wind turbines and solar panels can both be installed on ships, in order to conserve the fuel consumed and reduce the subsequent harmful emissions. The implantation of this solution leads to ... -
Clean Coal Power Plants
(2014-01-19)It talks about diversifying sources of energy in the Gulf region rather than depending on one or two sources (gas and fuel). We are planning to implement clean coal technology as another source of energy. This power plant ... -
Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However, concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well. -
Public Transportation Buses Powered By Cooking Oil
(2014-07-22)Greenhouse gases are in a continuous rise and are destroying the environment and public transportation buses contribute dramatically and are in an interrupted increase. Moreover, the world trend has been moving towards a ... -
Piezoelectric Systems for Sheikh Zayed Road
(2014-07-22)UAE was ranked as 37 worldwide according to the amount of electricity consumption with an annual consumption of 70.58 billion KWh .The total cost of producing that amount of electricity has been estimated to be 11.33 billion ...
