Energy, Environmental and Economic Analysis of Air-to-Air Heat Pumps as an Alternative to Heating Electrification in Europe
(MDPI, 2020-08-01)
Heat pumps (HP) are an efficient alternative to non-electric heating systems (NEHS), being a cost-effective mean to support European building sector decarbonization. The paper studies HP and NEHS performance in residential ...
Dataset of an in-use tertiary building collected from a detailed 3D mobile monitoring system and building automation system for indoor and outdoor air temperature analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
[EN] A Mobile Monitoring System (MMS) has been designed tak- ing into account the use of technology with high sensor ac- curacy and the ability to be installed easily and quickly in different cardinal locations, distribution ...
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 ...

(2020-10-29)
Esta tesis aborda el tema de la eficiencia energética en la edificación en la República Dominicana. La República Dominicana (R. D.) está localizada en la zona tropical caribeña, alta radiación solar con un clima considerado ...
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 ...
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 ...
Application of Thermoeconomics in HVAC Systems
(MDPI, 2020-06-17)
In order to achieve a sustainable society, the energy consumption in buildings must be reduced. The first step toward achieving this goal is to detect their weak points and analyze the energy-saving potential. to detect ...
European Cities in the Energy Transition: A Preliminary Analysis of 27 Cities
(MDPI, 2020-03-12)
Nowadays, there is a wide scientific consensus about the unsustainability of the current energy system and at the same time, social awareness about climate change and the IPCC’s goals is increasing in Europe. Amongst ...
