ENER-BI: Integrating Energy and Spatial Data for Cities’ Decarbonisation Planning
(MDPI, 2021-01-04)Given the current climate emergency, our planet is suffering. Mitigation measures must be urgently deployed in urban environments, which are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. In this sense, a deeper ... -
Energy Conservation in an Office Building Using an Enhanced Blind System Control
(MDPI, 2017-02)The two spaces office module is usually considered as a representative case-study to analyse the energetic improvement in office buildings. In this kind of buildings, the use of a model predictive control (MPC) scheme for ... -
Energy, Environmental and Economic Analysis of Air-to-Air Heat Pumps as an Alternative to Heating Electrification in Europe
(MDPI, 2020-08-01)Heat pumps (HP) are an efficient alternative to non-electric heating systems (NEHS), being a cost-effective mean to support European building sector decarbonization. The paper studies HP and NEHS performance in residential ... -
European Cities in the Energy Transition: A Preliminary Analysis of 27 Cities
(MDPI, 2020-03-12)Nowadays, there is a wide scientific consensus about the unsustainability of the current energy system and at the same time, social awareness about climate change and the IPCC’s goals is increasing in Europe. Amongst ... -
Experimental Devices to Investigate the Long-Term Stability of Phase Change Materials under Application Conditions
(MDPI, 2020-11-10)An important prerequisite to select a reliable phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage applications is to test it under application conditions. In the case of solid–liquid PCM, a large amount of thermal ... -
Experimentation under real performing conditions of a highly integrable unglazed solar collector into a building façade
