  1. 16. Improvement of Thermal Comfort in Buildings through Passive Design

    Författare :Marcelino Januário Rodrigues; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Passive Design; Orientation; Shading; Ventilation; Materials; Temperatures; Thermal Comfort; Simulations; Retrofitting; Hot Humid Regions.;

    Sammanfattning : In hot humid regions the high outdoor temperature has negative effects on the indoor temperature of buildings that are not designed to cope with the local climate. This leads to discomfort for the occupants. LÄS MER

  3. 17. High-Capacity Cool Thermal Energy Storage for Peak Shaving - a Solution for Energy Challenges in the 21st century

    Författare :Bo He; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Comfort cooling; peak shaving; phase change materials PCM ; cool thermal energy storage; DSC; phase change temperature; the heat of fusion; phase equilibrium; phase diagram.;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climatic change, increasing thermal loads inbuildings and rising living standards, comfort cooling inbuildings is becoming increasingly important and the demand forcomfort cooling is expanding very quickly around the world. Theincreased cooling demand results in a peak in electrical powerdemand during the hottest summer hours. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Heat Transfer Aspects of Using Phase Change Material in Thermal Energy Storage Applications

    Författare :Justin NingWei Chiu; Viktoria Martin; Luisa Cabeza; KTH; []

    Sammanfattning : Innovative methods for providing sustainable heating and cooling through thermal energy storage (TES) have gained increasing attention as heating and cooling demands in the built environment continue to climb. As energy prices continue to soar and systems reach their maximal capacity, there is an urgent need for alternatives to alleviate peak energy use. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Evaluation of Thermal Comfort and Night Ventilation in a Historic Office Building in Nordic Climate

    Författare :Hossein Bakhtiari; Mathias Cehlin; Jan Akander; Abolfazl Hayati; Patrik Rohdin; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; historic buildings; office buildings; Nordic climate; thermal comfort; field on-site measurements; standardized questionnaire; building management system BMS ; night ventilation NV ; building energy simulation BES ; IDA-ICE; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Sammanfattning : Envelopes with low thermal performance are common characteristics in European historic buildings resulting in insufficient thermal comfort and higher energy use compared to modern buildings. There are different types of applications for the European historic buildings such as historic churches, historic museums, historic theatres, etc. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Performance evaluations of high-temperature cooling systems in Mediterranean climate

    Författare :Henrikki Pieskä; Christophe Duwig; Saqib Javed; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High-temperature cooling; building energy simulations; exergy; Högtemperaturkyla; byggnadsenergisimuleringar; exergi; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

    Sammanfattning : Cooling demand in Europe is predicted to grow 25-50% between 2020-2050. Meanwhile, the EU aims to lower the greenhouse gas emissions from its building stock by 60%. Therefore, it is essential to find solutions that can meet the growing cooling demand with less energy and integrate renewable energy sources. LÄS MER
