The original intention of daylight saving time (DST) was to save energy required for artificial lighting. This one-hour shift in working hours, however, also impacts the current and future heating and cooling demand of buildings, which is yet to be t

Lake-source thermal district networks can efficiently supply heating and cooling to buildings and thus save energy and CO2 emissions. However, it remains unclear to which degree they are a sustainable alternative at a larger geographical scale. An ev

Fixed thermostat setpoints and schedules are commonly used in residential building energy simulation and rating. While this approach is simple to implement, it does not represent occupants with varying preferences. In this study, based on field data

Design optimization of a district heating and cooling system with a borehole seasonal thermal energy storage

Autor: Massimo Fiorentini, Philipp Heer, Luca Baldini

Publikováno v: Energy. 262:125464

The optimal design of borehole thermal energy storage systems can ensure their techno-economical goals are met. Current design optimization methods either employ detailed modelling unsuitable for numerical optimization or use simplified models that d

Opportunities for passive cooling to mitigate the impact of climate change in Switzerland

Autor: Ricardo Silva, Kristina Orehounig, Léonie Fierz, Sven Eggimann, Massimo Fiorentini, Luca Baldini

Energy systems need to decarbonize rapidly whilst satisfying heating and cooling needs. In Switzerland, residential cooling has so far only a small impact on the national energy demand, but climate change and a larger uptake of cooling devices are ex
