Urban areas consume a significant amount of global energy and face challenges from population growth and urbanization. This study investigates the energy consumption patterns of different building types in Nagpur city and provides valuable information for building energy policy-making.
Urban areas housing 55% of the global population consume nearly 75% of the global primary energy supply. Rapid population growth and the current pace of urbanization are key challenges to urban sustainability and global energy security. The present study aims to investigate energy consumption patterns for two different building typologies (apartment and office) across major LCZs of Nagpur city using three different approaches (cooling degree days, building energy simulation and indoor operative temperature). It uses micro-meteorological data for two consecutive years as input for building energy simulations. The results show that LCZs exhibited maximum and minimum cooling load during 14:00-16:00 hrs and 06:00-08:00 hrs respectively. For apartment building, district cooling load was reported highest in LCZs 3, 3(F) and 9 in the range of 1290.23 GJ to 1311.13 GJ while open LCZs and zones with vegetation cover demonstrated lower cooling load. For office buildings, LCZ 9 (11.82%) demonstrated the maximum variation in district cooling load than LCZ 6(B). Office buildings require lesser cooling demand than the apartment buildings as they are only used during the daytime. The results provide indispensable information for building energy policymaking in different zones of a city supported by climate based recommendations. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Review of heat wave studies and related urban policies in South Asia

Rajashree Kotharkar, Aveek Ghosh

Summary: The IPCC predicts an increase in heat waves frequency over most land areas in the twenty-first century, posing environmental and health concerns, particularly for rapidly growing South Asia. Research shows that South Asia is consistently experiencing warmest temperatures. Current policies and frameworks in the region need improvement to address issues related to urban planning and heat wave adaptation.

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.

Towards a blockchain and machine learning-based framework for decentralised energy management

Xiaojun Luo, Lamine Mahdjoubi

Summary: This paper presents an integrated blockchain and machine learning-based energy management framework for multiple forms of energy allocation and transmission among multiple domestic buildings. Machine learning is used to predict energy generation and consumption patterns, and the proposed framework establishes optimal and automated energy allocation through peer-to-peer energy transactions. The approach contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhances environmental sustainability.

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.
