Half of the global final energy consumption is related to heat, which accounts for 40% of
global energy-related carbon emissions. Particularly in the UK, nearly 24 million end-users …

This work is concerned with modelling, Model Predictive Control (MPC) and on-line energy
optimisation of a residential building in which an underfloor heating system based on …

In recent years, investigations on advanced technological solutions aiming to achieve high-
energy performance in buildings have been carried out by research centers and universities …

The continuous increase in building energy consumption impacts negatively on both energy
resources and the environment. In this respect, the use of conventional heating systems …

This paper examines the viability of using a radiant panel in lightweight low-height floor
heating. In this structure, a dry screed with high thermal resistance is replaced by a low …

Hydronic networks transfer energy through the heating and cooling of the working fluid. The
heat transfer depends on the temperature and flow rate of the fluid. Even small changes in …

Seit vielen Jahren ist die Energieeffizienzverbesserung von Gebäuden ein wichtiger
Bestandteil der Energiewende in Deutschland. Das hieraus resultierende …

Thermal comfort of person living in building with radiant floor heating is not usually perfect.
There is usually absence of control system based on each single room. This work proposes …

In low energy buildings, the effect of internal and solar gains on heat balance of rooms is
large. As a result, the heating systems, designed assuming steady-state conditions with no …

The rate of energy consumption on the household level for heating and cooling is increasing
annually. Due to economic growth and improved living standard, there is a sense of urgency …
