Abstract Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) play a key role to save energy. However,
unpredictable scenarios and uncertainties about stability of energy production from …

This paper aims to broaden the concept of Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB), assessing its
suitability to the emerging grid-based energy sharing models. The energy exchange …

The use of salt hydrates for thermochemical energy storage is associated with mechanical
instabilities during cyclic hydration/dehydration. On the other hand, some salt hydrates do …

The challenge of the temporal mismatch between energy supply and demand in buildings is
growing with the increasing share of renewable energy in total energy consumption. Among …

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy generation is imperative to limit global
warming and meet international climate targets. However, energy production from uncertain …

The technical and economic benefits of local energy communities (LECs) are not always
