Classification and challenges of bottom-up energy system models: A review
(2020)This paper reviews the classification schemes used for bottom-up energy system modelling and proposes a novel one as re-elaboration of the previous schemes. Moreover, this paper identifies that the main challenges of this ... -
EPLANopt optimization model based on EnergyPLAN applied at regional level: the future competition on excess electricity production from renewables
(2020)To face environmental and energy security issues, planning an energy system with high penetration of renewables is becoming increasingly important. The EPLANopt model couples a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to ... -
Multi-objective investment optimization for energy system models in high temporal and spatial resolution
(2020)Energy system modelling supports decision-makers in the development of short and long-term energy strategies. In the field of bottom-up short-term energy system models, high resolution in time and space, the implementation ... -
IEA SHC TASK 56: Building Integrated Solar Envelope Systems for HVAC and Lighting
(2019)The present document includes a state-of-the-art review of solar envelope systems that are already on the market or that can potentially reach that stage in a short-medium timeframe (Technology Readiness Level ≥ 4). The ... -
M4.1: Analysis of calculation approaches for complex fenestration systems
(2019)Implementing Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) in the modern architecture of non-residential buildings is a trend driving the need for improved methods and validated tools supporting the design. Especially for highly ... -
Design Guidelines: Deliverable DC.3
(2020)In Subtask C of IEA SHC Task 56 complete solar envelope systems based on active and passive components and integrated into the HVAC system are investigated on building level. Different approaches for investigating Solar ... -
Building Integrated Solar Envelope Systems for HVAC and Lighting
(2020)This position paper explains the relevance, potential and present status of development and market of building solar envelope systems contributing to HVAC and lighting of buildings, leading to actions needed to best exploit ... -
M6.1: 6.2 Design and realisation of the façade specimen
(2019)The FACEcamp project tackles the challenge of Complex Fenestration System (CFS) performances. Nowadays, a practical relevant issue connected to one specific technology within the CFS family (the Double Skin Facade – Window ... -

M2.5: Report on FACEcamp Website
(2019)A project website was created by IDM, in collaboration with Eurac, in order to promote the activities implemented by FACEcamp project partners to create awareness and to disseminate the project results. From 2018 the project ... -
M2.8: Report on dissemination activities at local and international level
(2019)WP2 aims to promote the project activities at local and international level. In the frame of Task 2.2 public workshops have been organised at local level in the Italian area by IDM and Eurac and in the Austrian area by ... -
M7.1: Façade specimen measurements
(2019)Two facades specimens have been designed, manufactured and installed at the Eurac outdoor lab. Each of them consists of two window-box facades, with a 15 cm air cavity hosting the same kind of shading system, with the only ... -
M6.3: Façade Innovation Management
(2019)The improvement of the building envelope’s performance plays an important role in the achievement of the energy saving target of the European Union [1] and the long-term goals set in the European Roadmap 2050 [2]. Thus, ... -
M7.2: g-value Round Robin testing among three different measurements setup
(2019)Given the measurement infrastructure developments achieved during the FACEcamp project, a Round Robin campaign has been done in order to compare the different setup from a quantitative point of view. The g-value Round Robin ... -
M3.5: Report on the Key Performance Indicators
(2019)Complex façade systems include a large variety of technologies in terms of both single components and whole system assembly. Norms and standards are still not able to provide a unified and comprehensive framework for such ... -
