Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities. Definition, Key Performance Indicators and Assessment Criteria: Version 2.0
(ZEN Report;, Research report, 2021)This document outlines the definition, key performance indicators (KPI) and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN research centre). This second version of the ZEN ... -
A theoretical framework for classifying occupant-centric data streams on indoor climate using a physiological and cognitive process hierarchy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)New and pervasive information and communication technologies have made it possible to capture a large range of continuous data from, or close to, each individual building occupant. These occupant-centric data streams may ... -
Energy flexibility potential of domestic hot water systems in apartment buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Domestic Hot Water (DHW) storage tanks are identified as a main source of flexible energy use in buildings. As a basis for energy management in apartment buildings, this paper describes the aggregated DHW use in a case ... -
Impact of double skin facade constructional features on heat transfer and fluid dynamic behaviour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Double skin facades (DSF) are an interesting and important architectural element in buildings as they are visually very attractive and can, at the same time, lead to better performance than single skin facades. DSFs need ... -
Enabling holistic design for high energy efficient office buildings through the use of subjective occupant feedback
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Today’s high-performance buildings answer to a large and growing number of quantitative performance criteria. Performance gaps between design and actual performance have however been identified as a significant challenge ... -
Utilising Open Geospatial Data to Refine Weather Variables for Building Energy Performance Evaluation—Incident Solar Radiation and Wind-Driven Infiltration Modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In building thermal energy characterisation, the relevance of proper modelling of the effects caused by solar radiation, temperature and wind is seen as a critical factor. Open geospatial datasets are growing in diversity, ... -
Life Cycle GHG Emissions of Residential Buildings in Humid Subtropical and Tropical Climates: Systematic Review and Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Improving the environmental life cycle performance of buildings by focusing on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along the building life cycle is considered a crucial step in achieving global climate targets. ... -
Development and experimental investigation of a novel combined solar cooker and dryer unit
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Solar cookers and dryers are normally used as separate units due to different operating temperature requirements for cooking and drying of food products. A unique design of a compounded solar cooker and dryer unit is ... -
Numerical investigation of thermal and hydraulic characteristics of sCO2-water printed circuit heat exchangers with zigzag channels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Since the precooler and the recuperator are the largest components of a supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle, their design can substantially affect the performance and size of the whole system. Although the design ... -
Effect of printed circuit heat exchanger’s different designs on the performance of supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Several fin configurations have been proposed in the literature to address the poor hydraulic performance associated with the PCHEs. However, the effect of the heat exchangers with proposed channel geometries on the ... -
Large potentials for energy saving and greenhouse gas emission reductions from large-scale deployment of zero emission building technologies in a national building stock
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High energy and material demand in the building sector causes large greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This sector needs large-scale technological improvements in the transition to a future low-emission society. Extensive ... -
Temporal analysis of the material flows and embodied greenhouse gas emissions of a neighborhood building stock
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Low‐energy building standards shift environmental impacts from the operational to the embodied emissions, making material efficiency (ME) important for climate mitigation. To help quantify the mitigation potential of ME ... -
