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 ...
Formal calibration methodology for CFD models of naturally ventilated indoor environments
(Elsevier, 2012-08-31)
Well planned natural ventilation strategies and systems in the built environments may provide healthy and comfortable indoor conditions, while contributing to a significant reduction in the energy consumed by buildings. ...
Development of a Global Energy Management System for non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations: A methodology
(Elsevier, 2017-01-25)
For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem. This work presents the ...
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 ...
Real-time monitoring framework to investigate the environmental and structural performance of buildings
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-12-20)
Energy provides safety, comfort and mobility to people, and is essential for industrial, commercial and societal growth. However, generation and consumption of energy give rise of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants, ...
