  2. 1. Low-energy buildings : energy use, indoor climate and market diffusion

    Author : Johannes Persson; Stefan Grönkvist; Svend Svendsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building energy simulations; energy efficiency gap; energy use; indoor climate; low-energy buildings;

    Abstract : Low-energy buildings have, in recent years, gained attention and moved towards a large-scale introduction in the residential sector. During this process, national and international criteria for energy use in buildings have become stricter and the European Union has through the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive imposed on member states to adapt their building regulations for ‘Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’, which by 2021 should be standard for new buildings.

  4. 2. Modelling Life Cycle Cost for Indoor Climate Systems

    Author : Dennis Johansson; Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HVAC; life cycle cost; energy; Energy research; Energiforskning; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; indoor climate system; ventilation; maintenance; LCC;

    Abstract : The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial cost. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use could decrease. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Feasibility of Reinforcement Learning in Single- and Multi-Agent Systems : The Cases of Indoor Climate and Prosumer Electricity Trading Communities

    Author : Ross May; Kenneth Carling; Mengjie Han; Xingxing Zhang; Zoltán Nagy; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reinforcement Learning; Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning; Buildings; Indoor Climate; Occupant Comfort; Positive Energy Districts; Peer-to-Peer Markets; Complex Adaptive Systems;

    Abstract : Over half of the world’s population live in urban areas, a trend which is expected to only grow as we move further into the future. With this increasing trend in urbanisation, challenges are presented in the form of the management of urban infrastructure systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Single and Double Skin Glazed Office Buildings - Analyses of Energy Use and Indoor Climate

    Author : Harris Poirazis; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal environment; indoor climate; energy use; building performance; building simulations; double skin façades; Glazed office buildings; single skin façades; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : The energy efficiency and thermal performance of highly glazed office buildings are often questioned. However, nowadays glazed buildings are increasingly being built around the world, mainly due to an architectural trend, followed by the preference of companies to a distinctive image that a glazed office building can provide.

  7. 5. Energy efficient indoor climate control - A practical approach for enhanced implementability

    Author : Mattias Gruber; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; model-based control; building automation; ventilation and air-conditioning; office buildings; implementability; energy efficiency; Heating; indoor climate control;

    Abstract : This work deals with energy efficient indoor climate control in office buildings, with an emphasis on implementability. More specifically, the aim is to suggest and evaluate improvements to building automation systems that are sufficiently simple and efficient to be realistic alternatives to commonly-used systems.
