1. 1. Energy retrofitting effect on perceived indoor climate: A case study of Estonian multi-family buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Kadri Reinumägi; [2023]
   Keywords : Indoor environment; Thermal comfort; Indoor Air Quality; Window airing habits; Energy renovation; Occupant survey; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Energy renovations are an important measure for achieving the European Union’s target of climate neutrality by 2050. To meet the EU goal, Estonia needs to fully renovate 14 000 multi-family buildings by that time, affecting the indoor environment conditions of a large number of people. READ MORE

3. 2. Optimization of Thermal Comfort on Electric Buses : A Comprehensive Study on Passenger Satisfaction in Stockholm, Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Ellinor Hambraeus; Maxwell Minotta Cuervo; [2023]
   Keywords : Electric bus; Bus temperature; Thermal comfort; Energy efficiency; Predicted Mean Vote; Equivalent temperature v; Elbuss; busstemperatur; termisk komfort; energieffektivisering; Predicted Mean Vote; Ekvivalent temperatur vii;

   Abstract : The transition towards electrification in the bus sector is necessary to achieve the global climate goals and has gained significant traction in recent years. However, there are critical challenges associated with this transition, one of them being the absence of excess heat that traditional combustion engines provided to warm the bus cabin. READ MORE

4. 3. Analysis of the impacts of climate change on the energy use and indoor environmental quality in an office

   University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

   Author : LOVÍSA ÓSK GUNNARSDÓTTIR; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : As the climate continues to change in upcoming years, the building sector will face serious and challenging problems where buildings will need to be adapted to withstand the changes. This study examined the impact of climate change on the energy need and indoor thermal comfort of an office building in Stockholm, Sweden. READ MORE

5. 4. Model Predictive Control for Ground Source Heat Pumps : Reducing cost while maintaining comfort

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

   Author : Isak Bokne; Charlie Elf; [2023]
   Keywords : MPC; Model Predictive Control; heat pump control; electricity spot price; weather prediction; reducing cost;

   Abstract : Today, the control of heat pumps aims to first and foremost maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. This is primarily done by deciding input power based on outside temperature. The cost of electricity, which can be rather volatile, is not taken into account. READ MORE

6. 5. Short-horizon Prediction of Indoor Temperature using Low-Order Thermal Networks : A case study of thermal models for heat-system control applications

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Jonas Cederberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Lumped Parameter Thermal Network; Resistance-Capacitance model; Parameter estimation; Modelling of Dynamical Systems; Thermal modelling; Temperature Prediction; Termiskt nätverk med klumpade parametrar; Mostånds-kapacitans modell; Parameterestimering; Modellering av dynamiska system; Termisk modellering; Temperaturprediktion.;

   Abstract : Optimizing and controlling the heating systems in buildings is one way to decrease their load on the power grid, as well as introduce load flexibility to be used in Demand Response (DR) applications. A requirement in occupied buildings is that the thermal comfort of the residents is guaranteed, making the optimization of heating systems a constrained problem with respect to indoor temperature.
