The Swiss Minergie®-standard is, by the number of labelled buildings (> 20'000) one of the most successful building energy labels in the world. It is obviously a strong incentive for designing comfortable, low energy buildings. This standard is now valid f ...
The energy savings potential of selected low-cost measures related to the simultaneous control of blinds, electric lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation in a single building zone (Integrated Room Automation) was investigated. The analysis was based on ...
Energy consumption of the Internet is already substantial and it is likely to increase as operators deploy faster equipment to handle popular bandwidth-intensive services, such as streaming and video-on-demand. Existing work on energy saving considers loca ...
There is a broad range of techniques available to the engineer and that should be considered in a retrofit project to enhance the energy efficiency of an operating process. The two best known techniques and most often utilized are internal heat recovery by ...
This article presents a method aimed at tracking energy saving opportunities in the food-processing industry through a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. On the one hand, the top-down modelling method aims at correlating the measured energy ...
In the perspective of setting ambitious targets for new buildings energy performance and of introducing new approaches to retrofit existing buildings, the implementation of solar thermal collectors into façade becomes very interesting Several research acti ...
A mechanism to accurately assess the performance of complex fenestration systems (CFS) is crucial for driving the appropriate adoption of these technologies to improve user comfort and energy use in both new construction and retrofit design. Typically, CFS ...
This study uses a domestic dwelling as the setting to investigate and explore the applicability of daylighting metrics for residential buildings, including the formulation of metrics for nonvisual effects. The simulation approach used to generate the perfo ...
Through the example of the VELUXBelgium building, this paper presents a real case application of a new methodology that is being developed to favor an interactive and intuitive approach of daylighting in buildings in the schematic design phase. The Lightso ...
