This paper introduces continuously field test results on operational energy performance of 32 heat pump systems for space heating with various heat sources in cold region of China. Therefore, normalized energy performance index for the holistic heat pump based space heating system including compressor electricity use, circulating pumps energy use for both heat source and heat sink, were introduced to evaluate and compare between different systems or different control strategies. Results showed that over-sized heat pump capacity design and install declined heat pumps efficiency during whole heating season especially in partial load regime, and solo heat pump station with large heating distribution networks led to dramatic heat loss and hydraulic unbalance problems. In addition, complicated control strategy for both heat pumps and circulating pumps did not performed properly according to building heat demand fluctuating and heat source temperature variation during whole winter. The paper disclosed clearly that optimized design and operation of the holistic heat pump based space heating systems during the heating season are essential to ensure the actual energy performance for any kinds of heat pumps rather than believing in theoretical assumption.

Estimating omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed with direction-dependent building morphologies

Qi Li, Jiayu Chen, Xiaowei Luo

Summary: This study focuses on the vertical wind conditions as a main external factor that limits the energy assessment of high-rise buildings in urban areas. Traditional tools for energy assessment of buildings use a universal vertical wind profile estimation, without taking into account the unique wind speed in each direction induced by the various shapes and configurations of buildings in cities. To address this limitation, the study developed an omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed estimation method using direction-dependent building morphologies and machine learning algorithms.

Model predictive control of distributed energy resources in residential buildings considering forecast uncertainties

Felix Langner, Weimin Wang, Moritz Frahm, Veit Hagenmeyer

Summary: This paper compares two main approaches to consider uncertainties in model predictive control (MPC) for buildings: robust and stochastic MPC. The results show that compared to a deterministic MPC, the robust MPC increases the electricity cost while providing complete temperature constraint satisfaction, while the stochastic MPC slightly increases the electricity cost but fulfills the thermal comfort requirements.

Improving building resilience in the face of future climate uncertainty: A comprehensive framework for enhancing building life cycle performance

Ruijun Chen, Holly Samuelson, Yukai Zou, Xianghan Zheng, Yifan Cao

Summary: This research introduces an innovative resilient design framework that optimizes building performance by considering a holistic life cycle perspective and accounting for climate projection uncertainties. The study finds that future climate scenarios significantly impact building life cycle performance, with wall U-value, windows U-value, and wall density being major factors. By using ensemble learning and optimization algorithms, predictions for carbon emissions, cost, and indoor discomfort hours can be made, and the best resilient design scheme can be selected. Applying this framework leads to significant improvements in building life cycle performance.
