During recent years, urban building energy modeling has become known as a novel
approach for identification, support and improvement of sustainable urban development …

A building with a great amount of thermal mass is able to time-shift and flatten out heat flow
fluctuations; this is referred to as the thermal inertia of a building. This paper presents a …

In this paper the authors present an algorithm that abstracts an arbitrarily shaped set of
building volumes into a group of simplified 'shoebox'building energy models. It is shown that …

Dynamic building models can be a valuable part of integral energy system models at city
district or urban scale, if parameterization and computation times do not exceed a practical …

The use of energy in the livestock sector will rise in the years to come due to the increasing
demand for animal proteins from a word population that will reach 9.15 billion people before …

Abstract To achieve the Paris Agreement 1.5° C target, apart from the obligation for new
buildings to be ZEBs, the existing building stock should be retrofitted as well, in order to …

This study presents an in-depth analysis of the cost structure when planning EE retrofit
measures in the residential sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The analysis showed that …

Natural ventilation is generally accepted as an innovative green building design strategy
and an effective sustainable option. The purpose of the study is to identify where and when …

Abstract In 2017, the ISO 52016-1: 2017 standard introduced a new methodology for the
assessment of the building energy performance as a replacement for the simplified method …

The transformation of the energy system to a renewable one is crucial to enable sustainable
development for mankind. The integration of high shares of renewable energy sources …
