A review and reflection on open datasets of city-level building energy use and their applications

Xiaoyu Jin et al.

Summary: Data related to building energy use is crucial for research and applications in building energy efficiency. However, most cities lack comprehensive and publicly accessible building energy use datasets, hindering urban building energy modeling, energy planning, performance benchmarking, and policymaking. This review paper provides insights based on a comprehensive analysis of worldwide open datasets and their applications, including detailed information on 33 building energy datasets and their subdomains, as well as proposed policy implications. The review also discusses privacy solutions and offers valuable conclusions to support city-level building energy data disclosure, modeling, and policymaking.

Thermal energy storage using phase change materials in building applications: A review of the recent development

Swellam W. Sharshir et al.

Summary: Due to the increasing heating and cooling needs of buildings, phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used for latent thermal storage applications in the building sector. However, there are some limitations to their use. This article provides an overview of PCM classifications, commonly used types, disadvantages and solutions for thermal properties, safety, and cost issues, as well as the effectiveness of incorporating PCMs into building construction elements. The selection of PCM based on design considerations and the use of additives to enhance heat transfer are also discussed.

Inter-building effect on building energy consumption in high-density city contexts

Cong Yu et al.

Summary: The inter-building effect (IBE) from surrounding buildings is important in high-density cities but commonly neglected in energy simulation. This study investigates the IBE on the energy use of high-rise office buildings in Hong Kong. Real-life office buildings and their communities were analyzed, and four scenarios were compared. The results show that IBE influences energy consumption by up to 13.1% and that shading blinds cannot be overlooked. These findings emphasize the importance of considering IBE on building energy consumption in high-density contexts on a case-by-case basis.

Operation characteristics of a gravity pulsating heat pipe under different heat inputs

Rongji Xu et al.

Summary: By introducing a gravity pulsating heat pipe (GPHP), the gravity effect of the working fluid (WF) can be enhanced to increase the heat transfer limit and solve the dry-up issue in a conventional pulsating heat pipe (PHP) under high heat input. Experimental investigation of the GPHP using HFE-750 0 as the WF under different heat inputs (30-230 W) revealed three heat transfer stages: low heat-input steady-state operation, transition, and high heat-input steady-state operation. The GPHP exhibited quick and stable heat transfer performance at low heat input, while in the transition stage, the accumulation of liquid WF and the formation of a stable vapor film hindered heat transfer. Under high heat input, the liquid WF returned to the evaporative section, resulting in stable heat transfer with increasing latent heat transfer.
