This paper focuses on the optimization of control strategies with regard to the end energy consumption and the thermal comfort of low-exergy systems for…
Today’s thermostat setpoint models naïvely assume fixed schedules, ignoring the reality of user control and its large variability. Better models must…
This paper investigates a new system for balancing the electrical grid by using dynamic simulation. It con-sists of a fuel cell that runs continuously to…
This paper describes the development of a simulation model using TRNSYS of a building integrated ground source heat pump with a cold phase change material…
Context: The case study presented here was carried out to assist the designers in making a decision about the use of chilled ceiling panels coupled…
The present contribution aims at a typical example of a low-energy house to repeat the known facts in environmental assessment of buildings, emphasize the…
In this paper, the energy management system that has been developed for the CANOPEA building is detailed. It is based on a virtual represen-tation of the…
Climate change and rising energy costs necessitate a shift in how buildings that efficiently provide comfort are envisioned. With initiatives now aiming at…
In this paper, the thermal behaviour of a ventilated window is studied. The particularity of this system is the existence of an airflow passing between the…
This paper examines the creation of a new simulation tool designed to integrate the results of energy consumption models into the carbon projections for…
Considerable progress has been made in the field of building simulation for combined heat, air and mass transfer processes occurring in the indoor…
The aim of this paper is to develop a new concept of sketch tools for the very steps of the design process. The originality lies in the use of optimization…
Results of this study show how heat mitigation effects of planting elementary school lawns in urban regions differ according to eight school building…
