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 ...
Monitoring System Analysis for Evaluating a Building’s Envelope Energy Performance through Estimation of Its Heat Loss Coefficient
(MDPI, 2018-07)
The present article investigates the question of building energy monitoring systems used for data collection to estimate the Heat Loss Coefficient (HLC) with existing methods, in order to determine the Thermal Envelope ...
A novel strategy to guarantee a minimum indoor temperature in social housing buildings
(ELSEVIER, 2023-10)
Energy poverty, along with climate change, is becoming one of the most worrying issues in Europe. Many people live without a minimum thermal comfort in their homes because they are not able to afford high energy bills. In ...
Mathematical development of an average method for estimating the reduction of the Heat Loss Coefficient of an energetically retrofitted occupied office building
(Elsevier, 2019-03-07)
The performance gap between the design energy consumption of buildings and their real energy consumption has three main sources: the energy systems’ performance, the users’ behaviour and the buildings’ envelope performance. ...
Overall uncertainty analysis of zonal indoor air temperature measurement in an in-use office building
(Elsevier, 2022-04-23)
Generally, studies where the zonal indoor air temperature is measured only consider the manufacturers’ sensor accuracy to determine the overall Temperature Uncertainty (UT), without considering other sources of uncertainties ...
Experimental method for estimating the effect of solar radiation on the inner surface heat flux of opaque building envelope elements
(SAGE, 2024-04-10)
There still exists a considerable difference when comparing the real and the design energy consumption of buildings. The difference between the design and the real building envelope energy performance is one of its main ...
