We present a large real-world dataset obtained from monitoring a smart company facility over the course of six years, from 2018 to 2023. The dataset includes energy consumption data from various facility areas and components, energy…
District Heating Systems are essential infrastructure for delivering heat to consumers across a geographic region sustainably, yet efficient management relies on optimizing diverse energy sources, such as wood, gas, electricity, and solar,…
Urban waste heat recovery, in which low temperature heat from urban sources is recovered for use in a district heat network, has a great deal of potential in helping to achieve 2050 climate goals. For example, heat from data centres, metro…
Thermal errors in machine tools significantly impact machining precision and productivity. Traditional thermal error correction/compensation methods rely on measured temperature-deformation fields or on transfer functions. Most existing…
Advanced control strategies for delivering heat to users in a district heating network have the potential to improve performance and reduce wasted energy. To enable the design of such controllers, this paper proposes an automated plant…
Current methods to describe the thermodynamic behavior of many-particle systems are often based on perturbation theory with an unperturbed system consisting of free particles. Therefore, only a few methods are able to describe both strongly…

Building Information Modeling has been used to analyze as well as increase the energy efficiency of the buildings. It has shown significant promise in existing buildings by deconstruction and retrofitting. Current cities which were built…
Decarbonizing the building stock in cold countries by replacing fossil fuel boilers with heat pumps is expected to drastically increase electricity demand. While heating flexibility could reduce the impact of additional demand from heat…
In traditional thermodynamical and statistical-mechanical approaches one has (some) detailed knowledge of the principles governing the microdynamics of a system. However in many instances we may not have a Hamiltonian or good information…
Pit thermal energy storage (PTES) provides large-scale thermal storage capacity in district heating systems, supporting flexibility on both daily and seasonal scales. Most existing large-scale energy system studies on PTES do not account…
In response to the substantial energy consumption in buildings, the Japanese government initiated the BI-Tech (Behavioral Insights X Technology) project in 2019, aimed at promoting voluntary energy-saving behaviors through the utilization…
Data-driven modeling and control of temperature dynamics in mechatronics systems and industrial processes are challenging control engineering problems. This is mainly because the temperature dynamics is inherently infinite-dimensional,…
In the context of global warming, even relatively cooler countries like the UK are experiencing a rise in cooling demand, particularly in southern regions such as London. This growing demand, especially during the summer months, presents…
Virtually all electronic systems try to optimize a fundamental trade-off between higher performance and lower power consumption. The latter becomes critical in mobile computing systems, such as smartphones, which rely on passive cooling.…
Natural cooling, utilizing non-mechanical cooling, presents a low-carbon and low-cost way to provide thermal comfort in residential buildings. However, designing naturally cooled buildings requires a clear understanding of how opening and…
