In this investigation, the performance of an existing heating system of a residential building incorporated with an array of solar thermal collectors was studied. For this purpose, transient systems simulation program model was assembled to estimate the hour-by-hour performance of the existing and the system equipped with the solar thermal collectors in terms of the provided space air condition...

With the shift in high-performance computing (HPC) towards energy e cient hardware architectures such as accelerators (NVIDIA GPUs) and embedded systems (ARM processors), arose the need to adapt existing performance analysis tools to these new systems. We present EZTrace a performance analysis framework for parallel applications. EZTrace relies on several core components, in particular on a mec...

Retrofitting measures in old buildings aimed at reducing energy usage have become important procedures meant to counteract the effects of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The aim this study is evaluate usage, thermal comfort, CO2 emissions an building by changing parameters such as orientation, shading systems, location, low film application, alternative supply form a geothermal hea...
