Various studies have assessed the energy performance alterations affected by novel technology of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic in Double-Skin Facades (BIPV-DSF), while lighting tied to BIPV-DSF has not received much attention. This paper provides numerical modelling assess effect on both indoor visual condition and consumption for an office module under a typical climate United Kingdom. The proposed study was focused comparisons between reference case (a DSF with layers using clear double...
Block morphology refers to critical parameters influencing building energy performance on the block scale. However, analysis of combined effect morphological consumption with real blocks is lacking. In this paper, aim evaluate office in context Hot-summer and Cold-winter zone China. First, a workflow for assessment buildings coupled scale was proposed evaluation tools. Seventy Wuhan were taken as examples then classified based layout typology height. Afterwards, use intensity (EUI) different...
This report introduces Dolphin, a large-scale multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) model that extends the Whisper architecture to support wider range of languages. Our approach integrates in-house proprietary and open-source datasets refine optimize Dolphin's performance. The is specifically designed achieve notable accuracy for 40 Eastern languages across East Asia, South Southeast Middle East, while also supporting 22 Chinese dialects. Experimental evaluations show Dolphin...
The use of Building Energy Models (BEM) has become widespread to reduce building energy consumption. Projection the model in future know how different consumption strategies can be evaluated is one main applications BEM. Many management optimization used and, among others, predictive control (MPC) very popular nowadays. When using models for predicting future, we have assume certain errors that come from uncertainty parameters. One these uncertainties weather forecast needed predict behavior...
A method is developed to generate future design reference year (DRY) data from the United Kingdom Climate Impact Programme's 2009 (UKCP09) climate change projections for a variety of time horizons and carbon emission assumptions. The selects three near-extreme summer months winter weaves them into an existing test (TRY). Risk levels associated with 85th percentile (broadly equivalent Chartered Institution Building Services Engineers [CIBSE] years) cumulative distribution function dry-bulb...
Solar air conditioning is an important approach to satisfy the high demand for cooling given global energy situation. The application of phase-change materials (PCMs) in a thermal storage system way address temporary power problems solar air-conditioning systems. This paper reviews selection, strengthening, and PCMs containers latent optimization PCM container geometry summarized analyzed. hybrid enhancement methods cost assessment are discussed. more effective heat transfer using was found...
In the fight against climate change, energy modeling is a key tool used to analyze performance of proposed conservation measures for buildings. Studies on integration photovoltaic in buildings must use calibrated building models, as only with them demand curve real, and savings obtained at self-consumption level, storage building, or feed into grid are accurate. The adjustment process model depends aspects inherent properties (envelope parameters, internal loads, schedules) well external...
In this study, test reference year (TRY) data for three UK cities are generated from the new UKCP09 climate change projections 1 a variety of future time horizons and carbon emission scenario assumptions. The applied to energy simulation commercial buildings one house city locations (London, Manchester Edinburgh), in century scenarios. Results compared with those using alternative TRYs two other research groups who used as well existing TRY sets which form CIBSE Future Weather Years 2 order...
Well-designed urban public spaces often attract residents and play a critical role in improving people’s wellbeing. Many studies have examined the importance of one or few environmental features spaces, such as size space, greenery coverage, seating arrangements, recreational facilities, etc. However, there is lack systematic understanding regarding (1) which significant impact on usage (2) how these influence preferences. To answer questions, this investigation adopts two-fold analytical...
Densely packed monolayers of latex particles with a diameter 70 nm were obtained by means the Langmuir−Blodgett method polymer colloid directly used as subphase. Different kinds spreading molecules tested to transfer particle monolayer. Cospreading molecule proved be best choice. The pH value subphase was key factor in controlling interaction between and monolayers. π−A isotherms good agreement transmittance electron microscopy images, indicating that case acidic condition, interattraction...
This study presents a novel optimization methodology for choosing optimal building retrofitting strategies based on the concept of exergy analysis. The demonstrates that analysis may open new opportunities in design an retrofit solution despite being theoretical approach high performance Carnot reverse cycle. exergy-based is different from one selected through traditional efficient retrofits where minimizing energy consumption primary selection criteria. connects with reference environment,...
