A systematic decision support framework and prioritization method for energy projects in industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)
This paper describes a decision support framework to help
industrial organisations make positive investment decisions on energy
performance improvement projects. It is intended as a simple and
repeatable approach for ...
Development of a global energy management system (GEMS) for the life sciences industry
(NUI Galway, 2015-08)
For multi-national companies, assessment of cost effective energy efficiency projects across a global site base is a complex problem involving multiple variables. This research project proposes a novel methodology for ...
Diagnostics and intervention methods for façade retrofit of post-WWII non-domestic buildings in Europe for energy efficiency
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
The growing demand of deep façade retrofits in refurbishment projects across Europe, is often accompanied by low-energy targets and architectural attributes. Factors like variability in context, material, environment and ...
Real-time control of occupants thermal comfort in buildings
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015-12-07)
Providing satisfactory indoor environmental conditions, air quality and thermal comfort through adequate ventilation is crucial in maintaining safe, healthy and comfortable buildings. Since, heating, ventilation and air ...
Assessing capital investment on energy improvement projects from a global energy management perspective: a tri-generation case study
(NUI Galway, 2016)
For multi-national companies, assessment of energy improvement projects across a global site-base requires a thorough understanding of the driving factors affecting energy consumption on each site. Traditionally, assessment ...
Development of a global energy management system for the life sciences industry: an energy management maturity model implementation
(NUI Galway, 2015-11)
The Global Energy Management System (GEMS) research project proposes a novel methodology for assessing capital energy-efficiency projects at a global level. The paper scope covers the systematic development and implementation ...
Methodology for quality checks for energy efficient buildings
(NUI Galway, 2017-03-01)
The built environment accounts for more than 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% of the overall CO2 emissions in Europe. Moreover, statistics show that construction and the upkeep of European buildings and ...
Formal Calibration methodology for a CFD model of a naturally ventilated room
(2011)
This paper describes a systematic methodology for the development of
calibrated thermodynamic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for
controlled environments in buildings utilising wireless sensor networks. ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon emissions reduction in non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)
Research on the components and characteristics of long-term
energy policy and strategies in large organisations is limited. Non-energy
intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations required
by their ...
Integration of fault detection and diagnosis with energy management standard ISO 50001 and operations and maintenance of HVAC systems
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2013-06-16)
Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) has become a robust scientific field offering proven methods for the optimization and more effective operation of HVAC systems. However, FDD practical application faces ...
