Buildings' energy systems release heat to the atmosphere that contributes to the urban heat island. In return, the energy demand from buildings depends on the meteorological conditions of their surroundings. Consequently, urban canopy models such as Town Energy Budget (TEB) have progressively included the representation of the main processes of building energetics: solar and internal heat gains, heat transmission through the enclosure and the heat exchange by infiltration and ventilation. The objective of this study is to extend the evaluation of the Building Energy Model (BEM) implemented in TEB. Five buildings representative of the morphological and thermal characteristics that can be encountered in European urban areas have been selected. The evaluation has been conducted with EnergyPlus building energy model and for two contrasted climates. The TEB model is able to estimate the heating and the cooling energy demand with an accuracy better than 5 kWh/m(2)/year for heating and 3 kWh/m(2)/year for cooling. This paper also discusses on the importance of computing the building's surrounding surface temperature for energy demand calculations. TEB is able to account for this effect whereas EnergyPlus assumes that building surroundings are at air temperature. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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.

Dual-layer optimization design method for collaborative benefits of renewable energy systems in building clusters: Case study of campus buildings

Ying Yu, Yuanwei Xiao, Jinshuai Chou, Xingyu Wang, Liu Yang

Summary: This study proposes a dual-layer optimization design method to maximize the energy sharing potential, enhance collaborative benefits, and reduce the storage capacity of building clusters. Case studies show that the proposed design significantly improves the performance of building clusters, reduces energy storage capacity, and shortens the payback period.

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.
