  1. 11. Benefits of passive solar shading devices in Swedish climate scenarios. Integrated daylight and energy study.

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

    Author : Agnieszka Czachura; [2019]
    Keywords : solar shadings; sustainability; buildings; daylight; energy use; glare; thermal visual comfort; free cooling; Sweden; performance prediction methods; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. Buildings hold the biggest share of the world’s energy use, and current climate crisis can exacerbate future need for cooling. READ MORE

  3. 12. The effects of low-emissivity window films on thermal comfort and energy performance of a historic stone building in cold climate: computer simulations with "IDA ICE"

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Saman Abolghasemi Moghaddam; [2019]
    Keywords : Low-E window films; low-emissivity window films; thermal comfort; IDA ICE; solar heat gain; U-value; building energy saving measures; heating demand; cooling demand;

    Abstract : Low-emissivity (low-E) window films are designed to improve the energy performance of windows and prevent indoor overheating by solar radiation. These films can be applied to different types of glazing units without the need for changing the whole window. READ MORE

  4. 13. Preliminary analysis of the potential energy saving achievable with a predictive control strategy of a heat pump for a single family house

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Giacomo Braida; Roberto Tomasetig; [2018]
    Keywords : heat pump system control; HVAC predictive rule-based control; weather forecast; occupancy behavior; internal gain; ambient temperature; perfect prediction;

    Abstract : The present work reports a study related to the potential improvement of the energy performances of a heat pump based heating system for a Swedish single-family house. The analysis is focused on the design of new rule-based control strategies which employ perfect predictions of weather forecast and human behaviour information. READ MORE

  5. 14. Weather data for heat pump system control improvement: analysis of instantaneous and forecasted measurements and evaluation of potential energy savings

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Mattia Monteggia; [2018]
    Keywords : heat pump system control; HVAC predictive rule-based control; weather forecast; occupancy behavior; internal gain; ambient temperature; perfect prediction;

    Abstract : The present work deals with a study related to the analysis of weather data for heat pump system control improvement based on both instantaneous and forecasted measurements. In particular, the analysis is firstly focused on the comparison of multiple weather sources for the assessment of weather forecast uncertainties, based on the evaluation of errors in prediction with respect to measured values.

  6. 15. Energy mapping of public buildings : A study at Älvkarlebyhus

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

    Author : Kieran Crowley; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this report is to identify all energy systems in the Skutskärs Vårdcentral and Folktandvården building, Centralgatan 12 building and the Library building to be studied in this report and carry out an investigation on whether the energy systems efficiency may be increased by improving on the elements or factors that affect the energy systems. A model of the buildings energy systems were created in Microsoft excels using the steady state method and modifying it to calculate an average heating session. READ MORE
