The growing global energy demand and the urgent need for sustainability call for innovative ways to boost energy efficiency. While advanced energy-saving systems exist, they often fall short without user engagement. Providing feedback on…
The temperature dependences of optical loss and luminescence spectra have been measured in visible and NIR spectral range for Bi-doped silica and Bi-doped germanosilicate fibers for the first time. The temperature dependence of luminescence…
We report a numerical study of self-avoiding polymers on the square lattice, including an attractive potential between nonconsecutive monomers. Using Wang-Landau sampling (WLS) with adaptive windows, we obtain the density of states for…
The reduction of greenhouse gases from buildings forms the cornerstone of policy to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, the automation of urban scale building energy modeling systems required to meet global urban demand has…
Dynamic line rating (DLR) models the transmission capacity of overhead lines as a function of ambient conditions. It takes advantage of the physical thermal property of overhead line conductors, thus making DLR less conservative compared to…
The inter-temporal consumption flexibility of commercial buildings can be harnessed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, or to provide ancillary service to the power grid. To do so, a predictive model of the building's thermal…
Growth of intermittent renewable energy and climate change make it increasingly difficult to manage electricity demand variability. Centralized storage can help but is costly. An alternative is to shift demand. Cooling and heating demands…
Window to Wall Ratios (WWR) are key to assessing the energy, daylight and ventilation performance of buildings. Studies have shown that window area has a large impact on building performance and simulation. However, data to set up these…
Towards integrating renewable electricity generation sources into the grid, an important facilitator is the energy flexibility provided by buildings' thermal inertia. Most of the existing research follows a single-step price- or…
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is the process of obtaining appliance-level data from a single metering point, measuring total electricity consumption of a household or a business. Appliance-level data can be directly used for demand…
Energy management systems (EMS) rely on (non)-intrusive load monitoring (N)ILM to monitor and manage appliances and help residents be more energy efficient and thus more frugal. The robustness as well as the transfer potential of the most…
The housing structures have changed with urbanization and the growth due to the construction of high-rise buildings all around the world requires end-use appliance energy conservation and management in real-time. This shift also came along…
Buildings across the world contribute significantly to the overall energy consumption and are thus stakeholders in grid operations. Towards the development of a smart grid, utilities and governments across the world are encouraging smart…
Researchers have extensively explored predictive control strategies for controlling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units in commercial buildings. Predictive control strategies, however, critically rely on weather and…
As buildings become increasingly connected and sensor-rich, intelligent remote heating control is rapidly superseding conventional local heating control. Such control algorithms often aim at reducing energy consumption by minimizing…
Radiative cooling exploits the imbalance between the thermal emission from the radiative cooling surface and the downward atmospheric emission. Since the atmospheric emission power is polar angle-dependent, a mirror structure can be used to…
This paper focuses on energy management in buildings with phase change material (PCM), which is primarily used to improve thermal performance, but can also serve as an energy storage system. In this setting, optimal scheduling of an HVAC…
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems coupled with heat pumps offer significant potential for improving building energy efficiency by shifting electricity demand to off-peak hours. However, conventional operating strategies maintain…
In the present article, performance of a glazed photovoltaic thermal system integrated with phase change materials (GPVT/PCM) is numerically examined based on both energy and exergy viewpoints. The effect of PCM volumetric fraction and…
Interactive composition simulations in Earth System Models (ESMs) are computationally expensive as they transport numerous gaseous and aerosol tracers at each timestep. This limits higher-resolution transient climate simulations with…
