A methodology to improve the performance of PV integrated shading devices using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Solar energy can be exploited efficiently in building façades using building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This study presents a methodology to optimize the design of fixed, parametrically modelled PV integrated shading ... -
Estimation of tank-to-wheel efficiency functions based on type approval data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The representation of tank-to-wheel efficiency is for many modelling purposes simplified to a constant value. However, the relationship between tank-to-wheel efficiency and operational properties is not necessarily constant. ... -

Global sensitivity analysis and optimal design of heat recovery ventilation for zero emission buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Energy-efficient building services are necessary to realise zero-emission buildings while maintaining adequate indoor environmental quality. As the share of ventilation heating needs grow in well-insulated and airtight ... -
Grid-connected cabin preheating of Electric Vehicles in cold climates – A non-flexible share of the EV energy use
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The number of EVs is increasing globally. In cold climates, it is generally recommended to use electricity from the grid to preheat the EV cabin before using the car, to extend driving ranges, to ensure comfort, and for ... -
Implementing flexibility into energy planning models : Soft-linking of a high- level energy planning model and a short-term operational model.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The operation of electric and heat grids alike is complicated due to the dynamic demand, with the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources adding to the problem. In order to improve the integration of variable ... -
Optimizing the configuration of a façade module for office buildings by means of integrated thermal and lighting simulations in a total energy perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The building enclosure plays a relevant role in the management of the energy flows in buildings and in the exploitation of solar energy at a building scale. An optimized configuration of the façade can contribute to reduce ... -
A stochastic operational planning model for a zero emission building with emission compensation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The primary objective of Zero Emission Buildings (ZEBs) is to achieve net zero emission over the buildings’ lifetime. To achieve this goal, accurate cost-effective emission compensation is needed during the operational ... -
Vacuum Insulation Panel Products: A State-of-the-Art Review and Future Research Pathways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Vacuum insulation panels (VIP) are regarded as one of the most upcoming high performance thermal insulation solutions. At delivery, thermal conductivity for a VIP can be as low as 0.002–0.004 W/(mK) depending on the core ...
