Net-zero energy buildings coupled with multiple demands on the load side, which utilize renewable to a larger extent, are an effective way consume distributed capacity in situ and need face operational challenges brought by uncertainty of while meeting different demands. To this end, paper proposes Dynamic Cost Interaction Optimization Model (DCI-OM) Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) bas...

In recent years, integrating solar energy systems and hydrogen-based storage into residential buildings has shown promise in reducing urban greenhouse gas emissions achieving clean supply. However, there is a lack of evaluation on the application potential buildings. Therefore, comprehensive method that considers building differences was implemented 20 Canadian cities to evaluate net-zero statu...

There is growing interest in zero-energy and low-energy buildings, which have a net energy consumption (on an annual basis) of almost zero. Because they can generate both electricity and thermal energy through the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal collectors, and with the help of reduced building thermal demand, low-energy buildings can not only make a significant contribution to...

Good indoor comfort and air quality are essential for correct educational development. Most reports in this field focus on primary and secondary school buildings, with numerous projects conducted in the Mediterranean Zone. However, little has been done in the context of university buildings. Data on indoor temperature and relative humidity data acquired trough field surveys of a seminar room lo...

In order to achieve the ambitious objective of decarbonising the economy, it is mandatory, especially in Europe and in Italy, to include the retrofitting of existing buildings. In a country where a large share of existing buildings have heritage value, it is important to design effective retrofit solutions also in historical buildings. In this context, the paper describes the experience of re-d...
