The Phase-1 upgrade of the LHC to full design luminosity, planned for 2019 at CERN, requires the modernisation of the experiments around the accelerator. The Inner Tracking System (ITS), the innermost detector at the ALICE experiment, will be upgraded by r ...
INSPIRATION In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve resource use, the European Commission published in 2012 a new directive on energy efficiency (2012/27/EU). Among other measures, it requires member states to conduct cost-benefit an ...
This paper presents a verification of CitySim, a largescale building energy simulation tool based on a simplified thermal model. First, the main assumptions behind the simplified model are presented. Then, CitySim is compared to other detailed simulation t ...
This paper addresses the effect of the type of habitat on thermal comfort and energy requirements for heating and cooling for 7 Algerian cities located in different climatic zones of the country. Our choice is focused on four buildings: two traditional hou ...
Activity recognition and prediction in buildings can have multiple positive effects in buildings: improve elderly monitoring, detect intrusions, maximize energy savings and optimize occupant comfort. In this paper we apply human activity recognition by usi ...
An important challenge for the next generation of high performance datacenters is to guarantee sufficient, reliable, green and cheap cooling of the server blades. Since this seems unrealistic with air cooling technologies due to the expected ever higher ch ...
In this work, we studied the thermal behavior of mono or multilayer walls of various compositions consisting of traditional and modern building materials, in order to identify those that provide good comfort and better energy conservation in conditioning c ...
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a fundamental role in maintaining acceptable thermal comfort and air quality levels. Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques are known to bring significant energy savings potential. Developing ...
The aim of this project is to investigate the benefit of thermally active building or home automation as well as the combination of various settings for visual and thermal parameters. While guarantying the users’ thermal comfort and his expectations in ter ...
In urban areas, the use of thermal energy services is intensive and relatively heterogeneous by their nature, spatial distribution and temperature level required. In this study three concepts of district energy networks that could provide these services ve ...
