Harnessing the potential of phase change materials can revolutionise thermal energy
storage, addressing the discrepancy between energy generation and consumption. Phase …

Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) can support a decarbonized economy by replacing
combustion appliances in homes and electrifying heating systems in buildings. However …

For a long time, shell-and-tube heat exchangers have been the most common choice in the
industry. Despite some limitations, their main advantage is that they have been extensively …

Materials used in the building envelope are exposed to a wide range of varying and harsh
conditions over extended periods. Knowledge about these precise conditions allows for …

Industrial low-temperature freezing applications are often batch processes, requiring a lot of
energy, exerting stress on the electrical grid. To relieve this stress, thermal energy storage …

Despite the development of increasingly efficient technologies and the ever-growing amount
of available data from Building Automation Systems (BAS) and connected devices, buildings …

This article explores the growing prominence of nature-inspired design philosophies in the
context of sustainability and human well-being within the built environment and focuses on …

The ZEB Laboratory is an experimental facility located in NTNU Gløshaugen campus in
Trondheim. The building is designed as 4 storeys high and 1800 m2 area office space and …

Full decarbonization in buildings requires the replacement of combustion appliances with
electric ones, and air source heat pumps (ASHP) are a candidate alternative. However …

Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems can be coupled with heat pump (HP)
systems to realize heat load shifting on demand side. With phase change material (PCM) …
