Appropriate use of demand side management (DSM) strategies in residential buildings, when placed in a smart grid environment, can help reduce power supplydemand mismatches by shifting electrical loads, thus leading to ...
A bottom-up approach is developed for the specification of operational data with a high spacetime resolution, to be used as inputs in multi-zone residential building models. These archetype models will be used to analyse ...
Thermal Electric Storage (TES) has emerged as a promising technology for enhancing the flexibility of the built environment to participate in active Demand Side Management (DSM). These devices allow the decoupling of ...
This paper presents a methodology for the automated calibration of deterministic lumped parameter models in building energy simulation using optimization methods. A heterogeneous model topology is proposed to represent a ...
As houses become more energy efficient due to highly thermal resistant fabrics, the impact of natural ventilation on indoor comfort and on transient heating and cooling loads increases. These two constraints must be ...
Aims: The prediction of water consumption patterns is a challenge, especially when water metering is not available at scale. The use of time-of-use survey (TUS) data offers an alternative to metering in order to track the ...
The prediction of water consumption patterns is a challenge, especially when water metering is not available at scale. The paper focuses on the prediction of analytical domestic hot water (DHW) demand profiles for detailed ...
