Nowadays, carbon tax policy is used in some countries to reduce carbon emission effects. However, few comprehensive studies have been conducted to investigate the overall impact of such a carbon tax policy on minimizing building CO2-eq emissions. Stakeholders in the building industry often focus on cost criteria to select construction materials, neglecting environmental factors. Providing a cost-emission framework can be beneficial in choosing appropriate materials based on financial and environmental factors. This study proposes a comprehensive framework to analyze the embodied CO2 equivalent emission, carbon taxation, and cost of steel and Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures employing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The framework is implemented on an actual residential building case study to validate its potency. The case study’s results show that the embodied CO2-eq emission of the RC structure is 36% higher than the emission in a similar steel structure leading to 36% more carbon taxation. However, the total material cost of the steel structure is around 65% higher than the RC structure. Thus, carbon taxation policy does not necessarily reduce embodied CO2-eq emissions because stakeholders may prioritize the cost criteria to select building materials.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"98 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45611929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to analyse the energy consumption status and energy-saving potential of air conditioning in existing office buildings, this paper takes an existing office building in hot summer and cold winter area as an example. The office and air conditioning energy consumption were continuously measured. The air conditioning energy consumption analysis model was established. With the measured data as input, the simulation calculation of the annual air conditioning energy consumption was carried out. The results showed that the measured value was quite different from the recommended value of the building energy efficiency standard. Changes in indoor air temperature or fresh air volume had a significant impact on air conditioning energy consumption. When the indoor set air conditioning temperature was 22°C in summer and 22°C in winter, the fresh air volume increased from 0 to 180 m3/(p·h), the increase of air conditioning power consumption reached 109.9% and 115.2%, respectively. The energy-saving envelope of the office building can obtain about 15% of the energy-saving benefits. However, users’ adjustment of operating parameters such as fresh air volume and indoor design temperature can easily lead to energy loss greater than that of energy-saving envelope.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"73 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44054581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This in turn makes using indoor space more compelling and leads to more energy consumption. Therefore, paying attention to outdoor spaces design with thermal comfort in mind becomes more important since outdoor spaces can host a variety of activities. This research aims to introduce a machine learning-based framework to predict the effects of different urban configurations (i.e. different greening configurations and types, different façade materials, and different urban geometry) on outdoor thermal comfort through training a pix2pix Convolutional generative adversarial network (cGAN) model. For the training of the machine learning model, a dataset consisting of 208 coupled pictures of input and output has been created. The simulation of this data has been carried out by ENVI-met. The resulting machine learning model had a Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 96% on the test dataset with the highest SSIM of 97.08 and lowest of 94.43 which shows the high accuracy of the model and it could have reached an answer in 3 s compared to the 30-min average time for ENVI-met simulation. The resulting model shows great promise for assisting researchers and urban designers in studying existing urban contexts or planning new developments. HIGHLIGHTS Machine learning use in outdoor thermal comfort assessment has been investigated. Vegetation, urban geometry, surface albedo, and water bodies have been studied parameters. Vegetation and street orientation have the highest and water bodies have the least impact on outdoor thermal comfort.

However, considering that the experimental data used to train the prediction model are often not optimal or most energy efficient, accurate prediction is difficult to achieve effective energy-saving. This paper proposes a hybrid energy-saving prediction model that combines similar sample selection approach (SSA) and deep neural network. A new weighted Euclidean norm (WEN) is used to select suitable similar sample datasets, and a novel energy-saving strategy is proposed to reduce energy consumption. To make the prediction performance more stable, a low-pass filter is used to filter the prediction results. In the case study, real data from a heat exchange station in Tianjin are used to verify the prediction performance of the hybrid model for 1 test day, 3 test days, and 7 test days. Experimental results show that: (a) the proposed model is able to capture the change trend of heat load, with Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.971, 0.969, and 0.954 on different test days, respectively; (b) the proposed model is able to effectively reduce energy consumption, with energy-saving of 5.4%, 7.6%, and 4.8% on different test days, respectively.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"30 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41582898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The framework is developed to help the facility managers better understand the building operation to enhance the HVAC system function. The Digital Twin framework is based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) combined with a newly created plug-in to receive real-time sensor data as well as thermal comfort and optimization process through Matlab programming. In order to determine if the suggested framework is practical, data were collected from a Norwegian office building between August 2019 and October 2021 and used to test the framework. An artificial neural network (ANN) in a Simulink model and a multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) are then used to improve the HVAC system. The HVAC system is comprised of air distributors, cooling units, heating units, pressure regulators, valves, air gates, and fans, among other components. In this context, several characteristics, such as temperatures, pressure, airflow, cooling and heating operation control, and other factors are considered as decision variables. In order to determine objective functions, the predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD) and the HVAC energy usage are both calculated. As a result, ANN's decision variables and objective function correlated well. Furthermore, MOGA presents different design factors that can be used to obtain the best possible solution in terms of thermal comfort and energy usage. The results show that the average cooling energy savings for four days in summer is roughly 13.2%, and 10.8% for the three summer months (June, July, and August), keeping the PPD under 10%. Finally, compared to traditional approaches, the HVACDT framework displays a higher level of automation in terms of data management.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"125 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45635390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies the pattern of cooling load dispersion between floors for 25 dominant residential typologies in Navi Mumbai that vary in heights, shapes, footprint areas, and densities. Simulation for cooling loads is done using Rhinoceros 6 tool with energy plus plugin. Tukey Honest Significant Difference (HSD) Post Hoc Test is done after ANOVA to group floors with similar cooling load profiles. The results show a strict increase in cooling load till the top floor for low rise and mid-rise. However, for high-rise buildings, most intermediate floors fall under a single subset category; thereby, the increase in cooling load among floors is not similar. This shows that as building height increases, the difference between cooling loads of intermediate floors decreases significantly. Also, an increase in height with a decrease in footprint area reduces the overall cooling load of the building.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"1 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48719789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First of all, an experimental test for determination of melting point has been investigated by temperature variation test (TVT) method for NCPCM based on paraffin component. Then, two nanomaterial types (TiO2 and CuO) mixed at 50%/50% with two concentrations (0.6% and 0.12%) were dispersed with slack paraffin to provide a total of four experiments to compare the average temperature evolution and exergy efficiency. A theoretical framework for exergy analysis give away that use of nano composites in PCMs will improve efficiency rather than a single nanomaterial. However, to assess capability of this system to integrate with solar water heater, if there is no solar radiation limitation, NCPCM with 1.2% wt. will be a better choice with higher cylinders diameter (HD-Cylinders). Neverthless, for climates with limited time in storage energy, NCPCM with 1.2% wt. and lower cylinders diameter (LD-Cylinders) is our best suggestion for maximum efficiency that can be used during the peak solar energy period.
