Parametric study of the operational and economic feasibility of Stirling micro-cogeneration devices in Spain
(Elsevier, 2013-12-19)
This paper analyses the operational and economic viability of Stirling engine-run micro-cogeneration units in single-family houses in Spain. Thermal demands for the reference dwelling, sited in three different and ...
Development and comparative analysis of the modeling of an innovative finned-plate latent heat thermal energy storage system
(Elsevier, 2013-09-01)
This paper presents an innovative finned-plate latent heat thermal energy storage system for its integration in cogeneration systems. For optimization purposes it is very important to maximize the efficiency of the ...
Mathematical development of an average method for estimating the reduction of the Heat Loss Coefficient of an energetically retrofitted occupied office building
(Elsevier, 2019-03-07)
The performance gap between the design energy consumption of buildings and their real energy consumption has three main sources: the energy systems’ performance, the users’ behaviour and the buildings’ envelope performance. ...
Overall uncertainty analysis of zonal indoor air temperature measurement in an in-use office building
(Elsevier, 2022-04-23)
Generally, studies where the zonal indoor air temperature is measured only consider the manufacturers’ sensor accuracy to determine the overall Temperature Uncertainty (UT), without considering other sources of uncertainties ...
Experimental method for estimating the effect of solar radiation on the inner surface heat flux of opaque building envelope elements
(SAGE, 2024-04-10)
There still exists a considerable difference when comparing the real and the design energy consumption of buildings. The difference between the design and the real building envelope energy performance is one of its main ...
Optimal design and operation of thermal energy storage systems in micro-cogeneration plants
(Elsevier, 2020-03-12)
The implementation of micro-cogeneration plants in residential buildings requires a technical and economic viability study. This analysis depends greatly on the regulatory framework controlling this kind of installations, ...
Analysis of New Strategies to Reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs)
(MDPI, 2018-11-07)
The need to reduce CO2 emissions makes it necessary to review most areas of human activity because we are the main source of these emissions. In particular, the building sector is one of its main responsible. Through a ...
