Planning Multi-Scale District Energy Systems with Hybrid Cooling Technologies and Decentralized Thermal Networks for Low Carbon Cities in the Tropics
Energy demand for cooling of buildings is projected to drastically increase in the next decades. Urban areas in tropical Asia are expected to contribute a major share to this growing demand. These areas are characterized by a high urban density and a diver ...
EPFL2021Street grids for efficient district cooling systems in high-density cities
Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter
The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...
ELSEVIER2020Identifying carbon emission reduction potentials of BIPV in high-density cities in Southeast Asia
Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter
We use life cycle analysis, urban building energy simulations and urban form generation to compare the operational carbon emissions of buildings with building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in locations with different grid electricity mixes in Southeast A ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Pilot studies on optimizing land use, building density and solar electricity generation in dense urban settings
François Maréchal, Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter
Previous studies have identified links between the urban form and the performance of urban energy systems. Land use and density are two important aspects of urban planning and design. This paper studies the relationship between these aspects and the perfor ...
UNIV POLITECNICA VALENCIA2018Defining density and land uses under energy performance targets at the early stage of urban planning processes
François Maréchal, Nils Christian Schüler, Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter
The energy demand of cities is highly influenced by urban planning parameters such as urban density and land use. These parameters are mostly determined during early stages of planning. The effects of these parameters on the energy performance of districts ...
