Time-dependent solar aperture estimation of a building: Comparing grey-box and white-box approaches

Xiang Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a B-splines integrated grey-box model to estimate buildings' dynamic solar gain more efficiently. The method improves upon the constant solar gain factor assumption of existing grey-box models by utilizing customized B-splines to precisely characterize the time-dependence of solar gain. The results show that the proposed method can accurately capture the main trends and key dynamic features of solar gain.

In search of optimal consumption: A review of causes and solutions to the Energy Performance Gap in residential buildings

Stefano Cozza et al.

Summary: Energy certificates are crucial for tracking and improving building energy efficiency, but there is a significant Energy Performance Gap (EPG) between measured and calculated energy consumption. This review focuses on causes and reduction strategies of EPG, highlighting inaccuracies in modeling building characteristics and occupant behavior. Strategies for improving energy consumption calculation and building energy system performance have been proposed, but there is incomplete understanding of the relative importance of EPG causes and solutions.

Non-linear grey-box modelling for heat dynamics of buildings

Christian Ankerstjerne Thilker et al.

Summary: This paper presents a non-linear grey-box model based on stochastic differential equations to describe the heat dynamics of a school building in Denmark equipped with a water-based heating system. The model accurately predicts indoor air temperature, return water temperature, and heat load, laying the foundation for grey-box models of buildings using different types of water-based heating systems.

Measuring the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in buildings: A stakeholder's survey

C. Deb et al.

Summary: This study presents the results of an international survey targeting stakeholders in the building industry from 14 European countries regarding on-site measurements of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC). The survey reveals stakeholders' high interest in measuring the HTC on-site and provides insights on aspects such as measurement duration, setup cost, and acceptable error. The assimilated understanding from the survey will help identify opportunities for a progressive assessment campaign involving on-site measurements in the building and construction industry.
