Decoupling the heat loss coefficient of an in-use office building into its transmission and infiltration heat loss coefficients
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]The actual building energy performance essentially depends on the building occupant's behaviour, the real performance of the installed energy systems and the in-use performance of the building envelope. The thermal ...
Estimation of the Heat Loss Coefficient of Two Occupied Residential Buildings through an Average Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-02)
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building ...
Thermal characterization of a modular living wall for improved energy performance in buildings
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Vertical vegetation systems are an innovative passive method for decreasing the thermal energy demand of buildings while increasing the quality of urban life. The main objective of this work is to calculate the effectiveness ...
Data driven model for heat load prediction in buildings connected to District Heating by using smart heat meters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-15)
[EN] An accurate characterization and prediction of heat loads in buildings connected to a District Heating (DH) network is crucial for the effective operation of these systems. The high variability of the heat production ...
Unsupervised recognition and prediction of daily patterns in heating loads in buildings
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
This paper presents a multistep methodology combining unsupervised and supervised learning techniques for the identification of the daily heating energy consumption patterns in buildings. The relevant number of typical ...
Energy and Cost Analysis of an Integrated Photovoltaic and Heat Pump Domestic System Considering Heating and Cooling Demands
(MDPI, 2023-07-04)
The integration of photovoltaic panels and heat pumps in domestic environments is a topic that has been studied extensively. Due to their electrical nature and the presence of elements that add thermal inertia to the system ...
Environmentally Sustainable Green Roof Design for Energy Demand Reduction
(MDPI, 2023-07-21)
Green roofs are artificial ecosystems that provide a nature-based solution to environmental problems such as climate change and the urban heat island effect by absorbing solar radiation and helping to alleviate urban ...
Experimentation under real performing conditions of a highly integrable unglazed solar collector into a building façade
(Elsevier, 2017)
In the current context of moving towards more sustainable construction, advanced facade systems that integrate solar collecting devices represent a commitment with future trends that combine renewable technologies with ...
Simulation and Thermo-Energy Analysis of Building Types in the Dominican Republic to Evaluate and Introduce Energy Efficiency in the Envelope
(MDPI, 2020-07-20)
The improvement of the energy performance in buildings is key for sustainable development, even more so in the case of the Dominican Republic (DR), which is committed to this goal but which has neither regulation nor ...
Comparison between Energy Simulation and Monitoring Data in an Office Building
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)
One of the most important steps in the retrofitting process of a building is to understand its pre-retrofitting stage energy performance. The best choice for carrying this out is by means of a calibrated building energy ...
