With building electric demand becoming increasingly dynamic, and a growing percentage of
intermittent renewable power generation from solar photovoltaics and wind turbines, the …

Building energy simulation (BES) plays a significant role in buildings with applications such
as architectural design, retrofit analysis, and optimizing building operation and controls …

Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) is a bottom-up, physics-based approach to
simulate the thermal performance of new or existing neighborhoods and cities. The field has …

If demand side management in electricity grid is a well known concept, the application to
district heating systems (ie modifying the thermal demand in order to make it more compliant …

Climate change, increasing emissions and rising global temperatures have gradually
affected the way we think about the future of our planet. Urban areas possess significant …

Due to increasing amounts of energy being supplied by intermittent renewable energy
sources, future energy systems need to be able to react flexibly to sudden changes. To …

The growing demand for energy in urban areas has led to the development of a variety of
methodologies for modelling energy in buildings at large scale. However, their accuracy has …
