A Functional Data Analysis for Assessing the Impact of a Retrofitting in the Energy Performance of a Building
(MDPI, 2020-04-07)
There is an increasing interest in reducing the energy consumption in buildings and in improving their energy efficiency. Building retrofitting is the employed solution for enhancing the energy efficiency in existing ...
Dataset of an in-use tertiary building collected from a detailed 3D mobile monitoring system and building automation system for indoor and outdoor air temperature analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
[EN] A Mobile Monitoring System (MMS) has been designed tak- ing into account the use of technology with high sensor ac- curacy and the ability to be installed easily and quickly in different cardinal locations, distribution ...
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 ...
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 ...
A PC-tool to calculate the Moisture Buffer Value
(Elsevier, 2017)
Hygroscopic building materials have the ability to moderate the relative humidity variation without the need for active systems. The moisture buffer phenomenon can be assessed by way of the Moisture Buffer Value (MBV). ...
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 ...
Defining the cooling and heating solar efficiency of a building component skin: application to a modular living wall
(Elsevier, 2022-06-25)
[EN] The thermal evaluation of building components composed of a base wall with a solar passive skin solution, such as a vertical/roof greenery system, ventilated facade, reflective painting, etc., is usually performed as ...
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 ...
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 ...
