Older people are often over-represented in morbidity and mortality statistics associated with hot and cold weather, despite remaining mostly indoors. The study “Improving thermal environment of housing for older Australians” focused on assessing the relationships between the indoor environment, building …

Renewable energy sources have an intermittent character that does not necessarily match energy demand. Such imbalances tend to increase system cost as they require mitigation measures and this is undesirable when available resources should be focused on increasing renewable energy supply. Matching supply …

This Powerpoint is part of the project Twomes. This deliverable contains a description of the digital twin, i.e. the inverse grey-box analysis model and of the tools used to analyze home heating data in order to derive building model parameters, installation model parameters and comfort need model parameters. This …

Deze presentatie maakt deel uit van het project Twomes. Deze deliverable beschrijft de methoden die we hebben ontwikkeld om data te verzamelen in het project Twomes : Digital Twins voor de warmtetransitie. Ook verwijst deze deliverable naar diverse GitHub repositories waar de meettechnieken als open …

This dataset is part of the project Twomes. Dataset containing anonymized energy and temperature data from homes in the Assendorp neighbourhood in Zwolle, the Netherlands. This project is supported by TechForFuture (https://techforfuture.nl), the Centre of Expertise HTSM Oost, an initiative of Saxion …

The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sector is responsible for a large part of the total worldwide energy consumption, a significant part of which is caused by incorrect operation of controls and maintenance. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly complex, especially due to multi-commodity …

Residential electricity distribution grid capacity is based on the typical peak load of a house and the load simultaneity factor. Historically, these values have remained predictable, but this is expected to change due to increasing electric heating using heat pumps and rooftop solar panel electricity …

The sustainable energy transition asks for new and innovative solutions in the way society, government, energy market and clients (end users) approach energy distribution and consumption. The energy transition provides great opportunity to develop innovative solutions where in the dense built environment …

As a student of industrial product design I have gotten used to making and fixing everything myself. If I run into a problem or a product breaks, I try to solve and repair it. If I couldn’t do it yet, I'd just learn how to. This led me to build my own house on wheels at the start of 2020. The complete …

District heating (DH) has a major potential to increase the efficiency, security, and sustainability of energy management at the community scale. However, there is a huge challenge for decision makers due to the lack of knowledge about thermal energy demand during a year.  https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/14/17/546 …
