The use of geothermal resources for the polygeneration of energy services has recently gained interest and is expected to know an important development in the future. Major research questions concern the increase of the efficiency in the usage of geotherma ...

This paper details the development of a systematic methodology using thermo-economic modeling that can be used to identify the optimal exploitation schemes of geothermal resources. A multi-period approach is used, integrating the superstructure of exploita ...
Shallow or deep geothermal resources can be used to produce different energy services: district heating, electricity and cooling. The combined production of these services is done using conversion technologies, such as flash systems, binary cycles or heat ...
Thermal comfort depends on heat exchanges of the body by conduction evapo-transpiration and convection to the air, and radiation to and from surrounding surfaces. Usual ways of sizing heating and cooling systems are based on homogeneous temperature in the ...
To be profitable, a geothermal energy system must effectively and economically convert a given resource into useful energy services to be delivered to the consumer during different periods of the year. These services include electricity, district heating, ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
Current practice in building simulation is to use historic climate data which has been measured in rural locations. However, numerous measurement programs have demonstrated that the urbanrural temperature difference can be of several degrees Kelvin, with c ...
The efficient thermal control of buildings is a complex problem. Non controlled perturbations like user behaviour and meteorological conditions can change much with time and make this task difficult. This work proposes considering the building as a 'living ...
Extending the idea of exergy to practitioners and policy makers is still a major challenge. Recently the "Canton of Geneva" in Switzerland introduced a new law governing the procedures of attribution of building permits for new or retrofitted city areas. A ...
