Colored solar façades for buildings

Andreas Schueler, Jean-Christophe Hadorn, Nicolas Jolissaint

Solar energy is a prime way to reach net zero energy buildings. Addressing buildings’ energy needs is a priority because buildings are the largest demander of energy (followed by industry then transport). However, harvesting energy from solar farms, implie ...

Characterisation of domestic hot water end-uses for integrated urban thermal energy assessment and optimisation

François Maréchal, Nils Christian Schüler, Alexandre Suzanne Jean-Marie Bertrand, Riad Aggoune

Former integrated urban energy assessments and optimisation have modelled domestic hot water (DHW) demand as a single stream, as space heating, currently, is the main energy demand in buildings and a detailed DHW modelling was therefore not required. Howev ...
