  1. 11. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
    Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

    Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.

  3. 12. Possibility for Positive Energy Retrofit in Borlänge

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Daniel Nay Myo Tun; Abideen Olaide Bakare; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The built environment accounts for 40% of annual carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Among the total emissions, building operations generate approximately 27% annually. Other than this, building materials, infrastructural materials, and construction (embodied carbon) contribute to an additional 13% annually [1]. READ MORE

  4. 13. 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

  5. 14. 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.

  6. 15. Potential benefits of implementing demand response into Vattenfall’s district cooling grid in Uppsala, Sweden

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

    Author : Magdalena Guerrero Wretljung; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lately, there has been an increased cooling demand in Vattenfall’s district cooling (DC) network in Uppsala, Sweden. This especially occurs on warmer summer days, during so-called peak demand periods, where there is limited cooling capacity combined with limited distribution capacity in the network. READ MORE
