  1. 1. Enhancing Comfort and Robustness in Hydronic Radiator Systems through Integration of Body Heat Predictions : A Study on a Novel LPV Controller

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Fahim Pirmohamed; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Energy Efficiency; Hydronic Radiators; Linear Parameter-Varying Control; Gain-Scheduling; Occupancy Detection; Radiated Energy Estimation; Thermostatic Radiator Valves; Smart Heating Systems; Robustness; Energieffektivitet; Vattenburna Element; Linjär Parameterberoende Reglering; Gain-Scheduling; Detektering av Närvaro; Beräkning av Utstrålad Energi; Termostatiska Radiatorventiler; Smarta Värmesystem; Robusthet;

    Sammanfattning : The quest to balance occupant comfort with energy efficiency is a key challenge in the field of heating systems, particularly for hydronic radiators. This study addresses this issue by investigating the integration of body heat predictions into a gain-scheduling controller for a hydronic radiator system. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Occupancy detection and prediction with sensors and online machine learning : Case study of the Elmia exhibition building in Jönköping

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Författare :Allen Chen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Buildings account for approximately 40% of energy consumption in the EU, and despite drastic increasing measures for energy efficient operation, the net value of energy consumption is expected to continue increasing because ofincreasing urbanization.While there has been increasing work done on managing external loads such as adapting to unpredictable climates, the research on internal loading, such as occupants, is still nascent.

  4. 3. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Författare :Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evaluation of overheating risks and passive cooling measures in low energy Swedish dwellings

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Sammar Kassab; Salma Aljabri; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Overheating; Passive cooling; Thermal comfort; Energy-efficient building; Building simulation; Heat wave; Residential dwellings; Occupant comfort and health; Measurement criteria.; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health.

  7. 5. Assessing indoor environmental quality and occupant comfort in modern wood buildings with post-occupancy evaluation and building performance simulation

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Henriikka Taipale; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Climate change; Post-occupancy evaluation; Building performance simulation; Residential; Wood buildings; Engineered wood products; Indoor environmental quality; Thermal comfort; Indoor air quality; Acoustics; Visual comfort; Case study; Denmark; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The European building sector is a source of significant negative environmental impacts, and large part of its carbon emissions can be attributed to heating, cooling and lighting of buildings – in other words, regulating buildings’ indoor environments. As people spend most of their lives indoors, there is a great challenge to create comfortable indoor environments, while also striving for further energy-efficiency and lower environmental impact.
