Changes in building design during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have been largely focussed on driving safety and reducing capital expenditure, with less attention given to improvements in building energy efficiency. However, energy efficiency in ...

While rule based control (RBC) is current practice in most building automation systems that issue discrete control signals, recent simulation studies suggest that advanced, optimization based control methods such as hybrid model predictive control (HMPC) c ...
Buildings consume more than 40% of all the energy we use, and about 50% of it is used for the conditioning systems, for this reason it is important to work on the energy demand, improving the buildings behaviour, in order to save the environment of the fut ...
As decided by the European Parliament in April 2009, starting from 2019, new buildings must be so-called net-zero energy buildings. The capital cost of these building systems and thus the potential for optimization will increase significantly. In addition, ...
We aim at the elaboration of Information Systems able to optimize energy consumption in buildings while preserving human comfort. Our focus is in the use of state-based stochastic modeling applied to temporal signals acquired from heterogeneous sources suc ...

Active power distribution networks require sophisticated monitoring and control strategies for efficient energy management and automatic adaptive reconfiguration of the power infrastructure. Such requirements are realized by deploying a large number of var ...
Since the power consumption of different electrical appliances in a household can be recorded by individual smart meters, it becomes possible to start considering in more details the interactions of the residents with those devices throughout the day. Appl ...
People in developed countries spend today most of their time inside buildings as part of the modern way of life. As a result, the building sector accounts for almost 40% of the total energy consumption and a big part of the energy bill goes to maintain the ...
Innovation of the energy saving and optimization of the renewable sources are the most important sides of the building sector in the last years. Considering that buildings consume more than 40% of all the energy we use and about 50% of it is used for the c ...
