According to Al-Hamoud and Mohammad (1997), annual energy savings of 15%, 19% and 40% can be obtained for large, medium and small office buildings, respectively, through envelope thermal optimization in the Riyadh area. Similarly, for Jeddah, annual energy savings of 8%,, 12% and 24% can be achieved for large,, medium, and small offices, respectively.
In the optimization of a small, two-story residential building, annual energy savings of 37% were found in Riyadh (a hot-arid climate) and 28% in Jeddah (a hot-humid climate).
An office building's air-conditioning system consumes 74% of its total electric load during the summer peak period (Hasanain et al., 2000). Within the air-conditioning system, 74% of the electrical energy is consumed by chillers, 21% by AHUs, and 5% by pumps.
An energy storage system is charged from the grid or by on-site generation to be used at a later time to take advantage of price diferentials. Energy storage is used instead of upgrading the transmission network infrastructure. The storage system provides the grid with the necessary output to ensure the voltage level on the network remains steady.
