Numerical Analysis Of A Ground-Source Heat-Pump System In Traditional Japanese “Kyo-Machiya” Dwellings, Shun Takano, Chiemi Iba, Shuichi Hokoi
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Kyo-machiya, which is a traditional wooden dwelling in Kyoto, is generally equipped with a shallow well. The well water can be potentially utilized as a heat source with a geothermal heatpump system without incurring a high drilling cost. Hereby, more energy saving in the traditional dwelling can be realized with the heat-pump system. However, an appropriate technique to utilize geothermal heat from a shallow well has not been established yet in Japan. To promote the geothermal use, we have continued an experiment to evaluate the practicability of a simple geothermal heat-pump system installed in a shallow well since the winter …

Visualizing The Exergy Destructed In Exergy Delivery Chain In Relation To Human Thermal Comfort With Exflow, Hongshan Guo, Forrest Meggers
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Exergy analysis is an important tool to fully appreciate the usability of energy at different levels and has been widely applied in the building system analysis domain. It has became more useful as low temperature heating and high temperature cooling began to attract more attention both in Europe and the United States. Using low-grade energy to supply for these systems have, in return, led to an increase in awareness of low exergy (LowEx) system designs. The possibility of modeling the last missing link in the system that is to delivery thermal comfort, the human body, have therefore became a topic …

Lightlearn: Occupant Centered Lighting Controller Using Reinforcement Learning To Adapt Systems To Humans, June Young Park, Thomas Dougherty, Hagen Fritz, Zoltan Nagy
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Humans spend up to 90% of their time indoors, thus building systems should maintain the indoor environment within the comfort range. In this paper, we present LightLearn, a reinforcement learning based occupant centered lighting controller. The control agent interacts with the occupant non-intrusively, learns her/his preferences, and determines actions for achieving both human comfort and energy saving. We present system hardware, control algorithm, and experimental results of LightLearn for an office space. Compared to the full (9am-5pm) and occupancy based control, LightLearn reduced 83% and 63% of operation time, respectively, by adapting to the occupant.
The Thermal Resistance Of Retrofitted Building Components Based On In-Situ Measurements, Evi Lambie, Dirk Saelens
The Thermal Resistance Of Retrofitted Building Components Based On In-Situ Measurements, Evi Lambie, Dirk Saelens
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Buildings are responsible for a large share of the worldwide energy use. For new buildings very strict objectives for the energy performance of buildings are set. The main energy use however occurs in existing buildings emphasizing the need for renovation of the older building stock. In order to detect deviations from the theoretical performance, in-situ measurements of the envelope performance after renovation can give insight in the workmanship and issues with different renovation techniques. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to determine the thermal resistance of building components from in-situ measurements, before and after renovation. Different methods were applied …

Wireless Sensor System For Intelligent Facades, Ayman Bishara, Helge Kramberger, Andreas Weder, Marcus Pietzsch
International Building Physics Conference 2018
The integration of a wireless-transponder system into building components (“intelligent building materials”) with built-in relative humidity and temperature sensors (RH, T) allows for a cost-efficient and non-destructive measurement of data regarding the current hygrothermal conditions of a building. Even during long-term use, quality assurance of the building system can be achieved by “looking into” the component. This supports the sustainability of the building from both a technical and an ecological point of view. In this paper, the development, the functionality and the exemplary application of Radio Frequency (RF), as well as an hygro-thermal analysis for solving the challenges of building-climatology …
Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment Integrating Cultural Value, Ming Hu
Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment Integrating Cultural Value, Ming Hu
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Lack of spatial and temporal flexibility is a well-known limitation of current life cycle assessment (LCA). Exclusion of human and time consideration in LCA can also limit the potential of results. This paper explicitly proposes a dynamic life cycle framework and assessment model and demonstrated the potential importance of the method by integrating the cultural theory of risk. Cultural theory (CT) of risk was developed by anthropologist Mary Douglas and is originally a societal social anthropology approach based on the structure and functioning of groups within societies. Different society produces its own selected view of the natural environment, a view …

Investigation Of Energy Modelling Methods Of Multiple Fidelities: A Case Study, Naveen Kumar Muthumanickam, Vaclav Hasik, Mehmet Unal, Simon W. Miller, Tina Unwalla, Melissa M. Bilec, Lisa D. Iulo
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Building energy modelling has become an integral part of building design due to energy consumption concerns in sustainable buildings. As such, energy modelling methods have evolved to the point of including higher-order physics, complex interconnected components and sub-systems. Despite advances in computer capacity, the cost of generating and running complex energy simulations makes it impractical to rely exclusively on such higher fidelity energy modelling for exploring a large set of design alternatives. This challenge of exploring a large set of alternatives efficiently might be overcome by using surrogate models to generalize across the large design space from an evaluation of …
Pareto Optimality Analysis For Evaluating The Tradeoff Between Visual Comfort And Energy Efficiency, Maryam Hamidpour, Vincent Blouin
Pareto Optimality Analysis For Evaluating The Tradeoff Between Visual Comfort And Energy Efficiency, Maryam Hamidpour, Vincent Blouin
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Architectural designs are increasingly driven by both sustainability and health, which requires evaluating the tradeoff between visual comfort and energy consumption. Lack of daylight leads to poor visual comfort and health issues but reduces heat gains, while excessive daylight may lead to over-illumination, glare, and high heat gains. Identifying the tradeoff between multiple criteria is an intricate process that requires skill and experience, especially when dealing with complex phenomena such as visual comfort. In order to facilitate this process, this paper provides two contributions: (1) the description of a new single-valued visual comfort measure, and (2) the application of the …

Passive Survivability In Residential Buildings During Heat Waves Under Dynamic Exterior Conditions, Timothy Aduralere, Jacqueline Isaacs, David Fannon
International Building Physics Conference 2018
The increased frequency of heat waves around the world has prompted numerous studies to improve building resilience and maintain thermal comfort in the face of extreme conditions. However, previous studies rely on the assumption of steady-state conditions, including external temperature, which limits real-world applicability, demanding a more practical perspective. This paper presents the use of recorded heat wave temperatures for a specified location to simulate the effect of extreme temperatures on the interior temperature of buildings when air conditioning is not used. The objective of this study is to determine how a building becomes uninhabitable during extreme heat and to …
Optimal Passive Design Strategies For Nearly Zero-Energy Dwellings In Different Chilean Climates Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms, Daniela Besser, Frank U. Vogdt
Optimal Passive Design Strategies For Nearly Zero-Energy Dwellings In Different Chilean Climates Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms, Daniela Besser, Frank U. Vogdt
International Building Physics Conference 2018
At present, most developed countries attempt to highly diminish the energy consumption of buildings towards nearly zero-energy performances. This study assesses passive design strategies by means of multi-objective optimizations with genetic algorithms, aiming to minimize the heating and cooling demand of typical single-family dwellings in Chile. The results show that the thermal transmittance and airtightness of the whole building envelope should be highly improved from the current limiting values in all assessed locations. Complementarily, strategies for managing overheating would be crucial for avoiding to shift the heating demand into cooling. With this regard, the use of thermal mass, natural ventilation …

This paper presents the approach developed for the monitoring and assessment of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in the whole deep renovation process aimed at reducing energy consumptions and improving comfort. The research was performed by the P2Endure project, that aims to provide scalable, adaptable and ready-to-implement prefabricated Plug-and-Play systems for deep renovation of building envelopes and technical systems. The idea is to use IEQ as one of the design criteria supporting the decision-making process, included into the holistic renovation process developed by P2Endure and called “4M: Mapping-Modelling- Making-Monitoring”. For this reason, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) was selected, …
Offsetting Peak Residential Cooling Loads Using A Medium Temperature Chiller And Sensible Cold Thermal Storage, Christopher Baldwin, Cynthia A. Cruickshank
Offsetting Peak Residential Cooling Loads Using A Medium Temperature Chiller And Sensible Cold Thermal Storage, Christopher Baldwin, Cynthia A. Cruickshank
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Space cooling places a significant peak load on the electrical grid during hot, sunny afternoons. With the introduction of time-of-use billing, space cooling during these periods has become very expensive. To reduce utility costs and shift peak loads, the use of a medium temperature chiller coupled with a sensible cold thermal storage system was investigated. Optimal configurations were found for seven cities located within each of the seven ASHRAE climate zones and an analysis on the energy consumption and annual utility costs are presented. It was found that in all locations, peak loads from air-conditioning could be reduced or eliminated, …
Sequential Monte Carlo For On-Line Estimation Of The Heat Loss Coefficient, Simon Rouchier, Maria José Jiménez, Sergio CastañO
Sequential Monte Carlo For On-Line Estimation Of The Heat Loss Coefficient, Simon Rouchier, Maria José Jiménez, Sergio CastañO
International Building Physics Conference 2018
The calibration of building energy models based on in-situ sensor information is generally performed after the measurement period, using all data in a single batch. Alternatively, on-line parameter estimation proposes updating a model every time a new data point is available: this allows observing a direct relation between external events and the identifiability of parameters. The present study uses the Sequential Monte Carlo method to train a RC model, and thus estimate a Heat Loss Coefficient, and other parameters, sequentially. Results show the direct impact of solicitations (solar irradiance and indoor heat input) on this estimation, in real time. The …

Computer Tomography As A Data Acquisition Tool For Quantifying And Modeling In-Pore Gypsum Crystallization In Building Materials, Steven Claes, Jelena Todorovic, Hans Janssen
Computer Tomography As A Data Acquisition Tool For Quantifying And Modeling In-Pore Gypsum Crystallization In Building Materials, Steven Claes, Jelena Todorovic, Hans Janssen
International Building Physics Conference 2018
In the last few decades a new type of persistent efflorescence has started appearing on ceramic brick facades in the UK, the Netherlands and in Belgium. Since the problem undermines the aesthetic appearance of masonry buildings, it results in a growing number of complaints from building owners. In the laboratory, gypsum efflorescence is typically studied via wicking tests. However, these often yield gypsum subflorescence instead, leading to significant pore clogging just below the evaporation surface. To gain further insight in that subflorescence and pore clogging, a correct quantification of the amount and the distribution of the gypsum crystalised in the …

Description Method Of Outdoor Climate Characteristics Considering The Comprehensive Effect On Indoor Climate, Xinying Fan, Meiling Sun, Tongke Zhao
International Building Physics Conference 2018
What human and buildings perceived the environmental information is comprehensive information. However, existing indoor environment design methods are often simplified to single parameters for indoor and outdoor environmental prediction and indoor environment design. In order to describe the indoor climate characteristics of the comprehensive impact of outdoor climate, this study uses the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method to establish a multi-parameter integrated outdoor comprehensive environmental information description method based on the information-response theory. The outdoor climate feature description method is applied to the analysis of the amplitude and frequency characteristics of outdoor comprehensive information, which provides a research basis …

Impact Of Indoor Temperature And Co2 Levels On Occupant Thermal Perception And Cognitive Performance Of Adult Female Students In Saudi Arabia, Riham Jaber Ahmed, Dejan Mumovic, Marcella Ucci
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Due to hot arid climate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, occupants rely on air conditioning (AC) to provide both ventilation requirements and thermal comfort. It is believed that this total reliance on AC have also a significant effect on thermal sensation as well as cognitive performance of building occupants. Using a multi-variable multilevel statistical analysis, the effects of classroom temperature and CO2 levels on cognitive performance were estimated. Eight neurobehavioral cognitive tests were used to evaluate cognitive performance of 499 female students (16-20 years old). In addition, thermal sensation votes were collected. All participants were exposed to nine different environmental conditions, …
Thermal And Mycological Active Protection Of Historic Buildings On The Example Of The Baroque Residence Of Polish Kings In Wilanów, Robert Wójcik, Piotr Kosiński
Thermal And Mycological Active Protection Of Historic Buildings On The Example Of The Baroque Residence Of Polish Kings In Wilanów, Robert Wójcik, Piotr Kosiński
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Protection of the external partitions of historic buildings is a broad topic due to the limited possibilities of interfering with the structure. Restoration restrictions on prevention in the mycological protection of historic buildings are so large that, from the broad list of possible protective measures, practically only the heating of the nodes and the control of air parameters are practically safe. The reason for restrictions is the lack of possibility of introducing architectural changes and the limited possibility of interfering into the structure of external partitions. A fast method that uses fluorescence was used for quantitative assessment of the mycelium …
The Co-Heating Test As A Means To Evaluate The Efficiency Of Thermal Retrofit Measures Applied On Residential Buildings, Evi Lambie, Marieline Senave, Dirk Saelens
The Co-Heating Test As A Means To Evaluate The Efficiency Of Thermal Retrofit Measures Applied On Residential Buildings, Evi Lambie, Marieline Senave, Dirk Saelens
International Building Physics Conference 2018
In order to reduce the energy use of residential buildings, regional governments in Belgium established, amongst others, mandatory criteria for the energy performance to be achieved after retrofitting. However, due to construction deficiencies, deviating boundary conditions, and nonmodeled physical phenomena and interactions, the actual energy performance may differ significantly from theoretical design value. Several studies indicate this as the performance gap. This paper focuses on analyzing the actual impact of the refurbishment measures applied to a single-family home in Belgium. Hereto, in-situ measurements assessing the building envelope’s thermal performance, described by the overall heat loss coefficient HLC [W/K], are performed …
Do Interface Resistances Matter In Historic Masonries? -Analysis Based On Xray Tomography And Heat, Air And Moisture Modelling, Klaas Calle, Nathan Van Den Bossche
Do Interface Resistances Matter In Historic Masonries? -Analysis Based On Xray Tomography And Heat, Air And Moisture Modelling, Klaas Calle, Nathan Van Den Bossche
International Building Physics Conference 2018
For hygrothermal simulations it is often advised to homogenize masonry wall constructions into a 1D solid brick construction. This saves computational time, but it may lead to an underestimation of moisture related risks. Some literature states that the impact of mortar is negligible, but no specific attention was paid to historic masonries, which often have high absorptive mortars (e.g. lime) and/or bricks. Hence, this study investigates the impact of the interface resistance between brick and mortar, in relation to the properties of the adjacent materials during absorption as well as under real climate conditions. As expected the impact of interface …

A Method For An Effective Microclimate Management In Historical Buildings Combining Monitoring And Dynamic Simulation: The Case Of “Museo Archeologico Di Priverno”, Francesca Frasca, Cristina Cornaro, Anna Maria Siani
International Building Physics Conference 2018
In this work a method is proposed to estimate the effect of indoor microclimate on the risk of degradation of ancient materials stored in historical buildings. The method, which combines microclimate observations and dynamic simulation, has shown to be strategic in preventive conservation of historical buildings. Indeed, once the building model is calibrated, it can be effectively used for evaluating the microclimate control solutions on the conservation reducing general degradation risks. The method has been applied to a historical building close to Rome, where deteriorations in ceilings occurred and visitors complain about thermal discomfort. First, the HVAC system in the …

It was designed by a group of architects and engineers and completed in 1962. It is located in the expo area of Genoa, a north Italian city, called “Fiera del Mare” and it plays a strategic role in the social community. In the past it hosted several …
Characterisation Of The Flexibility Potential From Space Heating In French Residential Buildings, Jérôme Le Dréau, Johann Meulemans
Characterisation Of The Flexibility Potential From Space Heating In French Residential Buildings, Jérôme Le Dréau, Johann Meulemans
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Demand response (DR) at the building level (also named energy flexibility) will play an important role in facilitating energy systems based mostly or entirely on renewable energy sources. Flexibility is thus deemed necessary to control the energy consumption to match the actual energy generation from various renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, there is lack of comprehensive knowledge about how much energy flexibility different building types and their usage may be able to offer to the present or future energy systems. In this study, the flexibility potential of space heating is characterised among the building stock …

Multiphysics Modeling Of Materials, Assemblies, Buildings And Cities, Jan Carmeliet, Jonas Allegrini, Aytac Kubilay, Dominique Derome
International Building Physics Conference 2018
There is growing evidence that heat waves are becoming more frequent under increased greenhouse forcing, associated with higher daytime temperatures and reduced night-time cooling, which might exceed the limits of thermoregulation of the human body and affect dramatically human health. Especially urban areas are affected, since these regions in addition experience an urban heat island (UHI) effect characterized by higher air temperatures compared to the surrounding rural environment. A necessary breakthrough is a shift away from a fragmented approach towards an integrated multiscale urban climate analysis. This type of research is a rather new domain of research and might be …
