A novel BIM-based process workflow for building retrofit
(Elsevier, 2022-02-06)
The European Union (EU) has developed policies aimed at accelerating the retrofit of existing buildings, with the vision of a decarbonised building stock by 2050. Retrofitting of existing buildings offers significant ...
Virtual testbed for model predictive control development in district cooling systems
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)
Recently, with increasing cooling demands, district cooling has assumed an important role as it is more efficient than stand-alone cooling systems. District cooling reduces the environmental impact and promotes the use of ...
Impact of source variability on flexibility for demand response
(Elsevier, 2021-08-05)
This paper assesses the quality of the services provided for demand response by analysing the results of experimental work activating flexible sources in buildings, while evaluating the impacts on occupant comfort and ...
Temperature sensing optimization for home thermostat retrofit
(MDPI, 2021-05-26)
Most existing residential buildings adopt one single-zone thermostat to control the heating
of rooms with different thermal conditions. This solution often provides poor thermal comfort and
inefficient use of energy. The ...
Transfer learning applied to DRL-Based heat pump control to leverage microgrid energy efficiency
(Elsevier, 2021-09-11)
Domestic hot water accounts for approximately 15% of the total residential energy consumption in Europe, and most of this usage happens during specific periods of the day, resulting in undesirable peak loads. The increase ...
Development of a framework for activation of aggregator led flexibility
(MDPI, 2021-08-12)
This paper presents a novel framework architecture for an online, real¿time flexibility as¿
sessment and activation platform targeted at unlocking the flexibility potential of commercial build¿
ings and smaller industrial ...
A novel reduced order model technology framework to support the estimation of the energy savings in building retrofits
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), as a tool to enhance energy efficiency of buildings, can accelerate investment in cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs) for existing buildings. However, there are many ...
