Electric demand flexibility in buildings has been deemed to be a promising demand
response resource, particularly for large commercial buildings, and it can provide grid …

A model was established that allows the simulation and analysis of the performance of a
district heating (DH) system supplied with heat generated from renewable sources (RHS) …

The UK has some of the worst performing residential buildings in the EU from an energy
efficiency perspective. Natural gas remains a dominant feature of existing and new-build …

This paper considers three configurations of air source heat pumps and building-integrated
photovoltaic (BIPV) systems in a solar house. This study evaluates energy efficiency and …

A model was used to simulate and optimise a speculative district heating (DH) system for an
existing urban area in Loughborough, UK. Heat was supplied using only renewable heat …

Although the subject of thermal cloaking has attracted extensive academic attention, most
pioneering studies have so far focused on thermal conduction systems or thermal …

This paper introduces an innovative solution for clean energy autonomous building (AB)
sustainability, offering a 5Z concept—zero-carbon, zero-energy, zero grid connections, zero …

This paper proposes a two-step framework for techno-economic analysis of a demand-side
flexibility service in distribution networks. Step one applies optimization-based modelling to …

Coupling the electricity and heat sectors is receiving interest as a potential source of
flexibility to help absorb surplus renewable electricity. The flexibility afforded by power-to …

The large-scale deployment of solar-assisted systems in the residential sector relies on
innovative thermal energy storage units. This paper contributes to the present-day …
