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. ... -
Methodology for the Study of the Envelope Airtightness of Residential Buildings in Spain: A Case Study
(MDPI, 2018-04)Air leakage and its impact on the energy performance of dwellings has been broadly studied in countries with cold climates in Europe, US, and Canada. However, there is a lack of knowledge in this field in Mediterranean ... -
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 ... -
Optimal design and operation of thermal energy storage systems in micro-cogeneration plants
(Elsevier, 2020-03-12)The implementation of micro-cogeneration plants in residential buildings requires a technical and economic viability study. This analysis depends greatly on the regulatory framework controlling this kind of installations, ... -
Optimization of the Heating System Use in Aged Public Buildings via Model Predictive Control
(MDPI, 2016-03)This work presents the implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme used to study the improvement of the thermal quality in aged residential buildings without any rehabilitation. The controller manages the ... -
Orientation-Constrained System for Lamp Detection in Buildings Based on Computer Vision
(MDPI, 2019-03-28)Computer vision is used in this work to detect lighting elements in buildings with the goal of improving the accuracy of previous methods to provide a precise inventory of the location and state of lamps. Using the framework ... -
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 ... -
Parametric study of the operational and economic feasibility of Stirling micro-cogeneration devices in Spain
(Elsevier, 2013-12-19)This paper analyses the operational and economic viability of Stirling engine-run micro-cogeneration units in single-family houses in Spain. Thermal demands for the reference dwelling, sited in three different and ... -
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 ... -
The Gender Perspective of Professional Competencies in Industrial Engineering Studies
(MDPI, 2020-04-07)Sexism and gender relations in higher education require special attention and are a topic of great interest in regulations related to education. The low participation percentage of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, ... -
The role of the design and operation of individual heating systems for the energy retrofits of residential buildings
(Elsevier, 2016-10-15)he feasibility of individual natural gas fired boiler-based heating systems in the retrofitting of buildings constructed in the 50–60 s in Bilbao (northern Spain) is evaluated in this paper. A holistic approach through ...
