This paper demonstrates a reproducible methodology for calibrating detailed energy models using hourly measured data that has been applied to evaluation of…
Simulating heat conduction in massive walls with commercial software is reported to cause numerical instability or reduced accuracy. As contribution to the…
This paper presents a high-level overview of a methodology for analysing window shade use in existing buildings. Time-lapse photography is paired with a…
Domestic heating systems often work with too high supply temperatures. This means that heat genera-tors and especially heat pumps work with a lower effi-…
Traditional building simulation tools have achieved considerable success in the past. They provide the essential foundation for modeling highly sophisti-…
To design and evaluate advanced controls for build-ings , building system models that can show detailed dynamics of feedback control loops are required. The…
This work shows a particular study in a single office in Barcelona, with an exterior Sud-East façade. Daylight simulations are made with DAYSIM (2010),…
One widely recognized opportunity to reduce global carbon emissions is to make urban neighborhoods more resource efficient. Significant effort has hence…
In this study a methodology for simulating large-scale energy systems is described. In particular the simulation of a district, supplied by a combined heat…
Uncertainty from occupant-related matters is typically shrugged off by building designers as beyond their control. However, evidence suggests that careful…
