Buildings are a major contributor to climate change, accounting for one third of global
energy consumption and one quarter of CO 2 emissions. However, comprehensive …

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 …

This paper presents a new, multi-objective method of analysing and optimising the energy
processes associated with window system design in office buildings. The simultaneous …

Energy consumption prediction of buildings has drawn attention in the related literature
since it is very complex and affected by various factors. Hence, a challenging work is …

Forecasting heat demand is necessary for production and operation planning of district
heating (DH) systems. In this study we first propose a simple regression model where the …

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a tremendous impact on our societies,
including changes in household energy consumption. Using measured electricity use data …

This paper reviews recent research on the demand flexibility of residential buildings in
regard to definitions, flexible loads, and quantification methods. A systematic distinction of …

Three main groups of internal and external influencing factors have been identified through
this review, including building characteristics, equipment and technologies, and occupant's …

During the last decades, the effects of global warming have become apparent also in
Europe, causing relevant impacts in many sectors. Under projected future global warming …

The paper analyses effects of changes in temperatures on heating and cooling demands in
Europe until 2050. Specifically, the study addresses changes in trends (10-year mean) and …
