  1. 1. Long-term Forecasting Heat Use in Sweden's Residential Sector using Genetic Algorithms and Neural Network

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Alireza Momtaz; Mohammad Befkin; [2024]
    Keywords : Genetic Algorithm; Neural Network; Forecasting; Heat Use;

    Abstract : In this study, the parameters of population, gross domestic product (GDP), heat price, U-value, and temperature have been used to predict heat consumption for Sweden till 2050. It should be noted that the heat consumption has been considered for multi-family houses. Most multi-family houses (MFH) get their primary heat from district heating (DH). READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Free cooling and PVT integration in a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system

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

    Author : Christopher Pourier; [2023]
    Keywords : Ground-source heat pump; borehole; GSHP; photovoltaic thermal collector; PVT; free cooling; Ytjordvärmepump; borrhål; GSHP; solfångare; PVT; frikylning;

    Abstract : The performance of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems can be negatively affected over time by soil temperature degradation of boreholes (BH) in heating dominated climates. Land area is scarce in the dense urban environments typical of multi-family houses (MFH) and can lead to accelerated degradation- in tight BH fields. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a Simulation Model for Combined PVT and Ground Source Heat Pump Systems : A TRNSYS Model Created for Commercial Use

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

    Author : HANNA OLAUSSON; EMMA WERNIUS; [2021]
    Keywords : Electrify everything; Solar assisted heat pump; Solar Energy; TRNSYS; Elektrifiera allt; solassisterad värmepump; Solenergi; TRNSYS;

    Abstract : The Swedish government has set a target of a 100% renewable electricity system by 2040. To reach this goal, many actions have to be undertaken. Electrification of buildings is one action to be undertaken as the residential sector accounts for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions, where the most energy efficient method is to use heat pumps.

  6. 5. Effect of Heatwaves on the Cooling Demand of Austrian Residential Buildings

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Apoorv Mukati; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the European Union. In 2019, households, or the residential sector, represented 26.3 % of final energy consumption in the EU out of which space cooling represented 0.4% energy consumption (Eurostat, 2021). READ MORE
