Influence of outdoor air pollution on European residential ventilative cooling potential

Residential ventilative cooling via natural ventilation is influenced by outdoor air pollution. However, relative to climate, outdoor air pollution is not comprehensively considered in determining the ventilative cooling potential of buildings. To assess t ...

Efficacy of temporal and spatial abstraction for training accurate machine learning models: A case study in smart thermostats

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Omid Ardakanian

Smart thermostats are increasingly popular in homes and buildings as they improve occupant comfort, lower energy use in heating and cooling systems, and reduce utility bills by automatically adjusting room temperature according to measurements of their bui ...

A novel methodology to identify and quantify deepwater-renewal processes during winter cooling in a large, deep lake (Lake Geneva)

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Naifu Peng, François Mettra, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

We propose a novel methodology – heat budget decomposition – to identify and quantify different deepwater-renewal processes during a very cold spell in 2012 in a large, deep lake (Lake Geneva, 309-m depth). Combined with field observations and numerical mo ...

Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...

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 ...

Watershed

Dieter Dietz, Ruben Alberto Valdez Juarez, Malcolm Aladé Nadjib Onifadé

WaterShed is an urban structure that takes advantage of usable rainwater to cool ambient air in pedestrian areas, publics spaces and transportation hubs. The system addresses pedestrian thermal comfort in conditions of heatwave, which can be life threateni ...

Two novel cogeneration charging stations for electric vehicles: Energy, exergy, economic, environment, and dynamic characterizations

Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani, Chengzhang Xu

This paper suggests two novel designs for the electric vehicle charging stations using LiMn2O4 Lithium-ion battery and based on a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and absorption refrigeration cycle (ARC) technologies to provide electricity and cooling, respect ...

80 K cryogenic stage for ice lithography

Danick Briand, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque

We present a cryogenic system design and development for ice lithography. The cryo-stage is designed with embedded channels to allow direct liquid nitrogen flow, enabling fast cryogenic cooling, and low sample temperature. The stage cools down to 78.8 K in ...
