High-resolution impact assessment of climate change on building energy performance considering extreme weather events and microclimate – Investigating variations in indoor thermal comfort and degree-days
Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik, Mohammad Hosseini
Climate change and urbanization are two major challenges when planning for sustainable energy transition in cities. The common approach for energy demand estimation is using only typical meso-scale weather data in building energy models (BEMs), which under ...
2022Climate change and energy performance of European residential building stocks-A comprehensive impact assessment using climate big data from the coordinated regional climate downscaling experiment
Kavan Javanroodi, Yuchen Yang, Vahid Moussavi Nik
In recent years, climate change and the corresponding expected extreme weather conditions have been widely recognized as potential problems. The building industry is taking various actions to achieve sustainable development, implement energy conservation s ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021Climate resilient interconnected infrastructure: Co-optimization of energy systems and urban morphology
Kavan Javanroodi, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik
Co-optimization of urban morphology and distributed energy systems is key to curb energy consumption and optimally exploit renewable energy in cities. Currently available optimization techniques focus on either buildings or energy systems, mostly neglectin ...
2021Urban cells: Extending the energy hub concept to facilitate sector and spatial coupling
Kavan Javanroodi, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Yi Wang
The rapid growth of urban areas and concerns over climate change make it vital to improve the energy sustainability of cities. Understanding the complex interactions within different sectors (sectoral) and localities (spatial) of cities plays a crucial rol ...
2021Quantifying the impacts of urban morphology on modifying microclimate conditions in extreme weather conditions
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik
It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particu ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021A New Generation of Thermal Energy Benchmarks for University Buildings
In 2008, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE TM46 UC) presented an annual-fixed thermal energy benchmark of 240 kWh/m(2)/yr for university campus (UC) buildings as an attempt to reduce energy consumption in public buildings. How ...
