Buildings are dynamical systems with several control challenges: large storage capacities, switching aggregates, technical and thermal constraints, and internal and external …
Retrofitting of existing buildings offers significant opportunities for reducing global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This is being considered as one of main …
This paper aims to explore how and where phase change materials (PCMs) are used in passive latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, and to present an overview of …
Non-domestic buildings contribute 20% of the UK's annual carbon emissions. A contribution exacerbated by its ageing stock of which only 7% is considered new-build. Consequently …
