- Most houses have vents that open and close manually without any central control.Cities across the United States advise the use of such vents in an effort to saveenergy. In most cases, household occupants do not use the entire house at the sametime; the tendency is to use certain rooms for long periods of time. For example,the family room and dining room may be used heavily, while the living room andkitchen are used at certain hours of the day. To cool or heat a room, the vent systemmust work to cool or heat the entire house. Energy saving can be enhanced if thevents of unused rooms are closed; this will push the hot/cold air to where it isneeded most and reduce the load of the conditioning system. Develop an objectivetree to clarify the need statement and prioritize the objectives laid out in the problem statement. You may add features that may not be listed clearly in the problemstatement but will give an additional advantage to the proposed design.arrow_forwardOman has wide expanses/areas of Desert Land which is usually ideal to be used for facilities of Solar Energy for Electrical Power Production.
