Overheating in buildings is expected to increase as global warming continues. This could lead to heatrelated problems ranging from thermal-discomfort and…
Building performance simulation has the potential to quantitatively evaluate design alternatives and various energy conservation measures for retrofit…
The exponential increase of the cooling demand in buildings obliges to find alternatives to the high electricity consumption with air conditioning systems.…
This paper presents a simulation-based study of a decentralized, „low-exergy‟ (or LowEx) space cooling system for a commercial office currently under…
In this paper, possibilities of electric peak load reductions in the MENA-Region, using a photovoltaic powered air conditioning system for residential…
In some areas of high air condition adoption there is potential for night purge natural ventilation to reduce the number of hours that the air condition…
This paper deals with a numerical and experimental study of the thermal performances of an Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHX) connected to a country house…
This paper discusses the impact of thermal zone modeling on the thermal comfort prediction during the early design of naturally ventilated buildings within…
The integration of two technologies - the Airconditioning Duct System and Optical Mirror Duct System - into a new energy-saving system “Integrated Optical…
Occupant behavior is a major contributing factor to building energy consumption. Many models have been developed to simulate occupant behavior including…
This paper introduces a longitudinal study monitoring occupants’ window opening behaviour in a mixed-mode office building in Beijing, China, when natural…
This paper investigates how advanced HVAC systems and predictive control can influence the interaction between a house and the grid. The case study…
An office building was designed and built according to state-of-the-art design and energy management principles in 2008. Despite the expectations of high…
The increasing number of highly insulated and air tight buildings leads to the concern of indoor environment overheating. This research studies the…
In Europe, the increasingly restricting environmental regulations push the residential building sector to replace pollutant fossil fuel boilers with more…
This paper investigates the interaction between supermarket heating, ventilation and air conditioning and refrigeration systems through simulation in…
This paper is concerned with the development of data-driven predictive models capable of forecasting commercial building heating loads based on BEM (…
Previous work by the authors has identified that the selection of supply air temperature control reset schedule has the potential to influence total HVAC…
