There is generally agreement among the HVAC (Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning)
community that one of the main issues impeding solar thermal technologies from achieving …

Occupancy information in a building is critical in terms of indoor environmental quality,
energy consumption and building energy simulation. However, it is not easy to gather and …

For the past 50 years, a wide variety of building energy simulation programs have been
developed, enhanced and are in use throughout the building energy community. This paper …

The energy consumption of the Libyan common house is estimated through the use of
simulation namely, the TRNSYS simulation programme and other tools to reach the best …

Proper energy storage system design is important for performance improvements in solar
power shared building communities. Existing studies have developed various design …

The renovation of a building involves not just the fulfilment of functional requirements, but
also considerations such as energy consumption, investment costs, environmental impact …

Renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly important due to their cost-
competitiveness, and because of enhanced climate concerns. We demonstrate the …

Building occupancy is an important basic factor in building energy simulation but it is hard to
represent due to its temporal and spatial stochastic nature. This paper presents a novel …

This research presents different scenarios of hybrid photovoltaic-geothermal heat pump
system that can provide the requirements of the heating and cooling load consumption in a …

Current power grid infrastructure was not designed with climate change in mind, and,
therefore, its stability, especially at peak demand periods, has been compromised …
