Indoor comfort evaluation of a health care facility: A case study
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)Thermal and visual comfort significantly influence the perception of an indoor environment and the subjective well-being of people. In this context, the present research focuses on the evaluation of the indoor comfort in ... -
Timber buildings with enhanced energy and seismic performance for the Mediterranean region
(Vienna University of Technology, 2016)Timber buildings are characterized by a thermal inertia lower than other technological solutions in construction. For this reason, some configurations may lead to higher cooling demand and poorer energy performance in hot ... -
On-site monitoring and dynamic simulation of a low energy house heated by a pellet boiler
(2016)Prefabricated low energy houses are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their low cost and high energy performance. Heating systems installed in these houses should be optimally designed and controlled, to ensure thermal ... -
Development of algorithms for building retrofit
(Elsevier, 2016)Designing buildings retrofit is not an easy task because a wide selection of energy-efficiency measures are technically available on the market, each of which can be applied to a different extent. In a range of different ... -
An occupancy counting mechatronic device based on bio-inspired algorithm for comfort and control optimization in buildings
(International Society of Bionic Engineering (ISBE), 2016) -
Comfort metrics for an integrated evaluation of buildings performance
(2016)The capability of expressing all the different aspects of the building's performance, besides and beyond the mere energy behavior is becoming more and more important, because of the increased expectations related to either ... -
Solar irradiance modelling and uncertainty on building hourly profiles of heating and cooling energy needs
(Curran Associates, 2016)Building energy simulations require a detailed characterization of the boundary conditions to solve the air heat balance problem. For dry and dew bulb temperatures and wind speed, measured hourly profiles can be easily ... -
Evaluation of on-site PV-based electrical energy production: A case study
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)For sustainable electric energy supply, the on-site production with photovoltaic systems can be a possibility. For this purpose, it is important to evaluate the potential based on the location, the technical solutions, and ... -
Winter heat recovery in ventilation systems: Potential and limitations of sensible and total recovery in the European climates
(SMEITS, 2016)Ensuring an appropriate ventilation rate and a suitable indoor air quality is a major energy consumption driver particularly in high performance buildings. Heat recovery devices coupled with mechanical ventilation systems ... -
Experimental measurement of thermophysical properties of H2O/KCOOH (potassium formate) desiccant
(2016)This paper presents the measurement of the thermal conductivity and the dynamic viscosity of H2O/KCOOH (potassium formate) desiccant with a salt concentration from 60 to 80% in the temperature range 1-80 °C. The thermal ...
