  2. 7. A hybrid low - temperature heating system in geothermal retrofitting for public buildings in the Mediterranean climate

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Boumediene Bizimana; [2019]
    Keywords : Hybrid low-temperature floor heating; Energy performance; Thermal comfort; Indoor air quality; Lågtemperaturgolvvärme; Energiprestanda; Termisk komfort; Inomhusluftkvalitet;

    Abstract : More than 50 % of EU’s yearly energy demand is spent on heating and cooling systems with which most of its source is generated from non-renewable fossil fuel [1]. Furthermore, half of the EU buildings are heated with a non-efficient boiler of about 60% or less efficiency [1]. READ MORE

  4. 9. Smart Buildings: ICT as a driving energy-efficient solution for retrofitting of existing buildings

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Giuseppe Sgrò; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is widely recognized how energy efficiency can contribute to decreasing GHG emissions, especially in the building sector, where buildings will play an increasingly important role for the future energy system, being both the largest energy consumers and becoming one of the greatest producers of renewable energy. In this new energy context, where renewable sources will be the main supplier for the production of electricity, there will be a growing need for dynamic control as well as intelligent and interconnected systems, which will lead to the creation of a new ICT architecture based on the interaction between Smart Buildings and Smart Grid, where buildings will take the role of proactive participants in the smart electricity network, facilitating the reduction of energy consumption and GHG emissions as well as other societal benefits.
