Compared with the original scheduling plan, the optimized scheduling plan, which was implemented from July 2023 to June 2024, resulted in electricity consumption reduction of 213,395 kWh, carbon emissions reduction of 105.4 metric tons, an energy-savings rate of 9.67%, and total cost savings of approximately 27,100 USD.

Seasonal variations in weather forecast accuracy were noted, with errors being larger in summer. Such variations affected HVAC operations. These findings highlight the necessity of applying statistical corrections to weather forecasts to better align them with actual conditions before they are used for HVAC scheduling. Overall, this study indicates the potential of leveraging weather forecasts for sustainable energy management and underscores the importance of reducing forecast errors for enhancing HVAC control.

In this context, this study introduces a novel composite structural typology that combines reinforced concrete (RC) columns with transversely hybrid variable section (THVS) steel girders as beam-type elements. The proposed building frame leverages the high horizontal stiffness of RC columns and the reduced weight of steel girders to lower material consumption. The THVS variant has proven to be one of the most sustainable steel I-girder configurations. Two arrangements are analyzed: one with fixed beam-column connections and another with pinned joints. Structural design optimization problems are formulated, targeting three objectives: economic cost, CO<sub>2</sub>(e) emissions, and embodied energy. These indicators are evaluated using a “cradle-to-site” approach. Results demonstrate that the fixed connection typology is optimal for buildings with shorter spans (4 m), achieving reductions in economic cost (6 %), emissions (16 %), and embodied energy (11 %) compared to traditional RC structures. The pinned variant is more suitable for longer span buildings (8 m), resulting in economic gains of around 5 % and a 6 % reduction in emissions despite higher energy requirements. Optimal THVS configurations indeed employ higher-grade steels in flanges than in the web, with tapered geometries varying by span length and connection type. The study also highlights that the THVS girders’ lighter weight significantly lowers axial loads on columns and foundations, further reducing construction costs and environmental impacts of the structural assembly. These findings underscore the potential of composite designs to enhance sustainability in building construction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"336 ","pages":"Article 115607"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their effectiveness relies on two primary physical properties: the ability to reflect solar energy and the capacity to emit infrared radiation, both of which are especially beneficial on horizontal surfaces like roofs and pavements. However, vertical surfaces, such as façades, also play a significant role in urban thermal balance. Conventional materials often underperform on these surfaces due to non-directional properties. This study measures the emissivity of Retro-Reflective (RR) materials, investigating their behaviour in the thermal infrared range. Results show that emissivity depends just on the superficial temperature and there are no angular variations. Therefore, RR materials have a directional behaviour only in the reflected radiation and not in the emitted one. Since emissivity is one of the parameters used in the calculation of the Cooling Power Potential (CPP), a critical knowledge gap regarding the CPP of RR coatings at varying orientations was found in literature. To address this limitation, an original measurement campaign was conducted, where several kinds of RR materials were realized by varying the size and density of embedded glass beads. RR materials significantly enhance CPP compared to conventional diffusive surfaces. At a typical façade temperature of 55 °C, RR materials increased CPP by an average of 20 %, demonstrating their superior cooling capability. Further research should focus on the long-term durability and environmental impact of RR materials to ensure their effectiveness over time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"336 ","pages":"Article 115597"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results suggest that the convection heat transfer mechanism plays an important role in the heat transfer within the SSTF envelope due to its poor thermal conductivity. This leads to the non-uniform melting progress inside the container. The inclusion of 0.03% CNT in the SSTF leads to a slight increase in the thermal conductivity of the SSTF composite because of the high number of the CNTs’ tangled tube bundles inside the SSTF. When compared to the SSTF without the CNT, it quickens the melting process and the melted SSTF’s velocity (the convection strength) by about 11% and 8.7%, respectively. Not only that, it also enhances the heat transfer and the thermal storage rate by about 13.7% and 7.5% respectively.

Addressing this issue requires innovative solutions that can reduce both the size of the central system and overall energy use, while still maintaining thermal comfort for occupants. This study proposes a novel hybrid cooling system that combines a central cooling system with localized thermoelectric coolers. A key innovation in this research is the use of a Machine Learning (ML) model to predict real-time cooling loads based on factors such as temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and occupancy. The system was evaluated through simulations conducted for a 40-unit MURB in Toronto, Canada, over the summer months. System components included solar evacuated tube collectors, absorption chillers, phase change material storage, and thermoelectric coolers. Cooling load analysis revealed that the building operates near peak capacity for less than 10 % of the time, underscoring the potential for hybrid system optimization. A Machine Learning model was developed to control the operation of the thermoelectric coolers, achieving a high R-squared value (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9937) and a SMAPE of 15.87 %, ensuring accurate cooling load predictions. Results showed that both the central and hybrid systems provided acceptable thermal comfort, with PMV and PPD values within acceptable ranges. However, the hybrid system demonstrated higher energy efficiency, achieving a COP of 1.36 compared to 1.28 for the central system.

The increasing flexibility and uncertainty of integrated renewable energy grids, along with interactions between various subsystems, make traditional steady-state modeling insufficient to capture transient and dynamic behaviors. Current models (e.g., composite load and battery equivalent models) focus on thermodynamic or electrical characteristics but overlook critical electromechanical interactions. This limits the ability to share performance information for grid services and hampers fast dynamic simulations. In addition, motor stalling is usually triggered by a fault event and attributed to the characteristics of the mechanical torque of the motor, resulting in absorption of a large amount of reactive power during the stalling period. This significant withdrawal of reactive power will deteriorate the dynamic voltage stability of power grids and cause delayed voltage recovery [<span><span>1</span></span>]. Therefore, an in-depth modeling of the thermodynamics or mechanical torque is essential to study the impacts of the realistic torque characteristics of those behind-the-meter devices on power system voltage stability. This study developed a dynamic multidomain model for building HVAC systems, such as air-source heat pumps, to simulate their thermal and electrical responses to grid transients. The model can accurately predict power metrics with a mean absolute percentage error of 10 %, by validating against with power system computer-aided design performance data. Case studies demonstrate the model capability of capturing the transient response to sudden voltage changes, rapid load fluctuations, and system shutdowns respectively. During a sudden voltage drop (30 % for 0.1 s), a fully loaded heat pump’s motor speed dropped, continued declining, and shut down after 3.6 s, with severe power oscillations and a torque spike. A partially loaded unit experienced temporary oscillations but stabilized. Under higher building loads, compressor speed increased from 64 % to 100 %, with power and torque rising before stabilizing. In safety-triggered shutdowns, power decreased after minor fluctuations, and torque briefly spiked before dropping to zero.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"336 ","pages":"Article 115606"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
