Calibrated whole building energy simulation: An evidence-based methodology
Raftery, Paul (2011-01)Climate change, driven by global energy consumption, is one of the major challenges to humanity today. The buildings sector consumes a significant portion of global energy resources and much of this is due to inefficient ... -
Calibration of detailed building energy simulation models to measured data using uncertainty analysis
Coakley, Daniel (2014-05-30)Over the past few decades, advances in technology, most notably the industrial revolution of the late 18th-century, has brought about dramatic improvements in the socioeconomic circumstances of developed nations. This has ... -
Development of a global energy management system for the non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organisations
Finnerty, Noel (NUI Galway, 2018-09-30)Climate change and energy resource sustainability are both major challenges facing humanity today. Due to their scale, multi-site (and/or multi-national) manufacturing organisations (MMO), are large consumers of energy, ... -
Development of a standardised assessment methodology relating to flexibility analysis for demand response
O'Connell, Sarah (NUI Galway, 2020-09-28)Power and energy flexibility in buildings and sites is an integral part of the solution to address the electrical grid’s challenges posed by increasing renewable generation, decarbonisation of the electricity supply and ... -
Formal calibration methodology relating to CFD models of naturally ventilated internal environments
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (2013-08-16)The building sector is responsible for 40% of total global energy consumption. Half of the energy consumed by buildings relates to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Natural ventilation can provide ... -
A semantic web approach to enable the holistic environmental and energy management of buildings
Corry, Edward (2014-10-30)Narrowing the performance deficit between design intent and real-time performance is a complex and involved task, impacting on all building stakeholders. Buildings are designed, built and operated with the use of increasingly ...
