Over the last decades, the growing energy consumption of commercial and residential
buildings has considerably increased the energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions …

The total energy consumption of the buildings' sector has been increasing steadily over the
last decades, increasing the energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. By the transformation …

Smart control of energy supply to the existing buildings may increase their energy efficiency.
However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no simple, general, automated …

The concept of implementing energy savings to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has
become a key element of energy policies of any industrialized country. In the civil sector and …

Currently in most buildings, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are
controlled by the present temperature in the building. If the predictions for future temperature …

In the course of the European Project Energy Efficiency and Risk Management in public
buildings (EnRiMa), a mathematical model has been needed, predicting the room air …

Simple models used for the simulation of the thermal performance of buildings usually
assume constant (time-invariant) values of their parameters. This paper presents the simple …

The indoor energy simulation software of buildings, by default do not include the actual
meteorological conditions (outside humidity, temperature, etc.) but uses average external …

Space heating and cooling energy need of a building can be evaluated through three kinds
of methods: the quasi-steady state method, the simple hourly method and detailed dynamic …

In order to determine the most suitable storage system for buildings with photovoltaics (PVs),
a holistic analysis of the energy consumption is often required. In that sense, this paper …
