This systematic literature review aims to identify measures to address low delta-T syndrome in various parts of chilled water systems and classify the 25 identified measures for the four subclasses of low delta-T syndrome as treatments or fixes.

For the three subclasses of low delta-T syndrome with increased flow, 11 were classified as fixes, nine as a treatment and five could not be classified. The main reason four of the six measures could not be classified is due the disputed cause of laminar or transitional flow condition inside the cooling coil tubes.

While a substantial amount of information can be extracted from Building Information Models (BIM) — which are increasingly accessible and provide necessary data for geometric and HVAC contexts — this information is not readily usable in setting up BEM and typically requires manual translation. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a BIM-to-BEM (BIM2BEM) framework that focuses on automating the generation of HVAC parts of BEM models from BIM data. Core to the methodology is the extraction of HVAC system topologies from the BIM model and the creation of a knowledge graph with the HVAC topology. The topology transformation unfolds in three key stages: first, a geometry-induced knowledge graph is established by examining the geometric relationships among HVAC elements; second, this graph is converted into an informative HVAC topology with enhanced properties from additional data sources; and finally, the informative topology is simplified into a BEM-oriented HVAC topology compliant with BEM platforms such as EnergyPlus. A case study of a large university building with a complex HVAC system showcases that the proposed framework achieves automatic and precise generation of building performance simulation models. The model's predictions are then validated against actual measurements from the building.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"325 ","pages":"Article 115035"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672820","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}

This work investigates how the role of flexibility sources will be impacted by shifting towards advanced control strategies under a high penetration of variable Renewable Energy Sources, in the following years. A large residential area with diverse energy systems, building envelope configurations, and energy demand patterns is modeled with the simulation environment RECsim, a virtual testbed for the implementation of energy management strategies in REC.

Also, this approach lowers overall energy demand by 12.6% and boosts self-sufficiency, and it also decreases electricity exports from the REC to the grid by 18.2% compared to a ToU tariff scheme. When using ToU tariffs, thermal storage can be used to achieve cost savings, but total Shared Energy decreases, as do self-sufficiency and self-consumption of the REC.

In this work, we present a general model for computing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of building with low computational complexity and effort. Based on this model, we designed smart green building walls (SGBW), which consist of conventional walls and thermal storage/release films applied to their external/internal surfaces. These films, which incorporate thermochromic materials can adaptively adjust their radiation properties according to environmental temperature. At high temperatures, the thermal storage film(TSF) absorbs heat utilizing a solar absorptance of 0.604 and storing the heat within the wall. Conversely, at low temperatures, the thermal release film(TRF) unidirectionally releases heat into the interior with an infrared emissivity of 0.821. The simulation results indicate that SGBW has enhanced heat storage capacity by 18.7 % and increased heat release capacity by 30.4 % compared to conventional cement walls. In addition, calculations using the general model show that each square meter of SGBW can save 417 ∼ 805 kWh of electricity and reduces CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 225 ∼ 477 kg over the building’s lifecycle in various climatic zones, aligning closely with results obtained from the commercial software. Thus, this model not only simplifies intricate simulation processes but also serves as a guide for designing surface devices.

By conducting a comprehensive comparative analysis with traditional and energy-efficient window systems, this research aims to identify high-efficiency building solutions tailored to extreme climatic conditions. Amidst the escalating global energy demand and the pressing need for energy conservation and emission reduction, Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) technology is increasingly recognized for its potential and value as a critical method for harnessing green energy. However, the widespread adoption of BIPV technology faces several challenges, including cost-effectiveness, conversion efficiency, system stability, and architectural aesthetic integration. Utilizing the T&amp;A House from the 3rd International Solar Decathlon as an empirical case study, this research employs Ecotect and DesignBuilder simulation software to systematically evaluate the daylighting effect and energy performance of DS-STPV. The analysis considers various key design parameters, including photovoltaic cell coverage, window orientation, and window-to-wall ratio. Through refined modeling and multi-dimensional analysis, this study aims to identify the optimal design configurations of DS-STPV windows in cold regions, with the goal of simultaneously achieving superior natural lighting quality and significant building energy efficiency. The findings indicate that a south-facing DS-STPV window design with approximately 30% photovoltaic cell coverage and a window-to-wall ratio of 30% effectively balances daylighting requirements and energy efficiency in cold regions of China. This design strategy not only ensures an abundance of natural light in the room, but also significantly reduces the building’s energy consumption, proving the superior performance of DS-STPV windows in cold climates. In addition, the unique optical properties of DS-STPV windows reduce glare, further improving the overall quality of the indoor environment. In summary, this study provides a robust scientific foundation for the application of DS-STPV windows in cold regions, offering practical guidance and reference for optimizing energy efficiency and facilitating green transformation in future building design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"325 ","pages":"Article 115011"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661102","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}

The principal aim of this study is to investigate the adoption patterns of energy-efficiency upgrades by Norwegian households, particularly in response to the energy crisis. It seeks to determine how socio-demographic, dwelling-related, household contextual, and psychological factors affect household behaviours concerning three upgrading measures – namely, private photovoltaic (PV) installation, flexible electricity use, and dwelling insulation. Based on survey data (N = 3514) collected in 2023 from Norwegian households, the study delineates a significant upsurge in all these three energy-efficiency upgrades within the past three years, driven by social norms, self-efficacy, and increased motivation to support the energy system after the energy crisis. The study also anticipates rapid growth in private PV systems and flexible electricity use over the next three years, influenced by social pressures, wider technology adoption, and a stronger desire to cut energy costs. The adoption of private PV systems is predominantly seen among high-income households, which is influenced by high fixed costs, inadequate institutional incentives, substantial rises in electricity prices, and a commitment to supporting the energy system post-crisis. The quick uptake of flexible electricity use is significantly influenced by social norms and technology’s compatibility with daily routines. Key factors driving insulation actions include the building age, the presence of younger household members with the necessary physical capability and skills, and the right timing perceptions. In addition, residential duration influences adoption patterns, with newer residents prioritizing personalization through high-tech measures and long-term residents focusing on maintaining insulation. This study will also discuss potential implications for policymakers in designing incentives tailored to households’ profiles and for investors in improving market strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"326 ","pages":"Article 115054"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706103","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}
