Experimental Devices to Investigate the Long-Term Stability of Phase Change Materials under Application Conditions
(MDPI, 2020-11-10)
An important prerequisite to select a reliable phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage applications is to test it under application conditions. In the case of solid–liquid PCM, a large amount of thermal ...

(2017-07-20)
La presente Tesis Doctoral presenta una metodología de diseño y optimización energética enfocada a sistemas de gestión térmica para aplicaciones que se engloban dentro del campo de la Electro- Movilidad. La metodología se ...
Methodology for the Study of the Envelope Airtightness of Residential Buildings in Spain: A Case Study
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Air leakage and its impact on the energy performance of dwellings has been broadly studied in countries with cold climates in Europe, US, and Canada. However, there is a lack of knowledge in this field in Mediterranean ...
Multi-criteria methodology for the prioritisation of alternative energy transition scenarios of cities
(2017-07-11)
Debido al elevado coste económico y social generado por el contexto medioambiental, la UE se ha comprometido a reducir drásticamente las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de los estados miembro para el año 2050. La ...
Long Term Energy Transition Scenario Analysis for the City of Donostia
(MDPI, 2018-01-18)
The direction adopted for the energy transitions towards a low carbon future will have long lasting implications in other aspects beyond the Climate Change. However, cities are becoming increasingly complex and a detailed ...
Cities4ZERO: Overcoming Carbon Lock-in in Municipalities through Smart Urban Transformation Processes
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
How can local authorities effectively address the decarbonization of urban environments in the long run? How would their interests and expertise be aligned into an integrated approach towards decarbonization? This paper ...
ENER-BI: Integrating Energy and Spatial Data for Cities’ Decarbonisation Planning
(MDPI, 2021-01-04)
Given the current climate emergency, our planet is suffering. Mitigation measures must be urgently deployed in urban environments, which are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. In this sense, a deeper ...
Orientation-Constrained System for Lamp Detection in Buildings Based on Computer Vision
(MDPI, 2019-03-28)
Computer vision is used in this work to detect lighting elements in buildings with the goal of improving the accuracy of previous methods to provide a precise inventory of the location and state of lamps. Using the framework ...
Analysis of thermofluids in flameless (MILD) combustion: assessment, improvement and development of combustion models by CFD
(2020-11-11)
Flameless combustion, also called MILD combustion (Moderate or Intense Low Oxygen Dilution), is a technology that reduces NOx emissions and improves combustion efficiency. It is based on the aerodynamic recirculation of ...
Physics-based dynamic model for reversible liquid-to-liquid heat pump systems. Development, validation and simulation with different systems, time-scales, operation conditions and working mode switch
(2020-01-28)
In order to develop new HPs, there are two important aspects. The improvement of the components and the improvement of the joint system. The components would improve by optimizing geometrical parameters and materials, among ...
