This MOU initiated the effort by BECP and ASHRAE which culminated in the release of 90.1-2010 in October 2010. This signed MOU introduced a new element and significant challenges for developing 90.1-2010. For the first time in the history of Standard 90.1, an energy goal was established for developing the new edition, 90.1-2010. The 30{\%} energy efficiency goal led to a dramatic increase in the level of activity and enhancement of Standard 90.1 as reflected in the quantity of changes, called addenda, proposed and approved.},

abstract = {Net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) have been considered as an efficient solution to limit the growing energy consumption and pollution emissions from buildings. The configurations and the capacities of the implemented renewable energy systems in NZEBs should be wisely selected to ensure the intended performance objective. This study aims to optimize, investigate and compare six renewable energy solution sets for designing NZEBs in three different climates: Indore (cooling dominant), Tromso (heating dominant), and Beijing (mixed climate). The optimization is carried out using a multi-criteria decision-making methodology. The implemented methodology is composed of two phases. In the first phase, the optimal sizes of solution sets in each climate are derived and analyzed. The effectiveness of optimal solution sets is evaluated with respect to economy, environment, energy and grid stress. In the second phase, recommendations for each region are offered according to the overall performance evaluation results. The evaluation criteria include life cycle cost, payback period, levelized cost of energy, CO2eq emissions, grid interaction index, load matching index, and total energy consumption. The analyses show that, in Indore (hot climate), it is recommended to utilize the solution set composed of air source heat pump for cooling and flat plate solar collectors for domestic hot water (DHW) production. In Tromso (cold climate), the use of a biodiesel generator is promising to produce both electricity and hot steam for heating as well as DHW use. In Beijing (mixed climate), it is recommended to utilize electric chillers for cooling and natural gas condensing boiler for heating and DHW usage.},

abstract = {Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are promising to mitigate the increasing energy and environmental problems. For NZEBs, annual energy balance between renewable energy generation and building energy consumption is an essential and fundamental requirement. Conventional RES (renewable energy system) design methods for NZEBs have not systematically considered uncertainties associated with building energy generation and consumption. As a result, either the annual energy balance cannot be achieved or the initial investment of RES is unnecessarily large. Meanwhile, the uncertainties also have significant impacts on NZEB power mismatch which can cause severe grid stress. In order to overcome the above challenges, this study proposes a multi-criterion RES design optimization method for NZEBs under uncertainties. Under the uncertainties, Monte Carlo simulations have been employed to estimate the annual energy balance and the grid stress caused by power mismatch. Three criteria, namely the annual energy balance reliability, the grid stress and the initial investment, are used to evaluate the overall RES design performance based on user-defined weighted factors. A case study has demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method in optimizing the size of RES under uncertainties.},

abstract = {Due to reducing the reliance of buildings on fossil fuels, Passive House (PH) is receiving more and more attention. It is important that integrated optimization of passive performance by considering energy demand, cost and thermal comfort. This paper proposed a set three-stage multi-objective optimization method that combines redundancy analysis (RDA), Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT) and Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) for PH design. The method has strong engineering applicability, by reducing the model complexity and improving efficiency. Among then, the GBDT algorithm was first applied to the passive performance optimization of buildings, which is used to build meta-models of building performance. Compared with the commonly used meta-model, the proposed models demonstrate superior robustness with the standard deviation at 0.048. The optimization results show that the energy-saving rate is about 88.2{\%} and the improvement of thermal comfort is about 37.8{\%} as compared to the base-case building. The economic analysis, the payback period were used to integrate initial investment and operating costs, the minimum payback period and uncomfortable level of Pareto frontier solution are 0.48 years and 13.1{\%}, respectively. This study provides the architects rich and valuable information about the effects of the parameters on the different building performance.},

@article{Li2019,
abstract = {As promising means to reduce carbon emission and energy consumption, zero/low energy buildings have been attracting increasing attentions. Multi-stage design optimization methods have been developed for zero/low energy buildings and their energy systems especially when a large number of design variables need to be optimized. However, these methods ignore the interactions between building envelope and energy system design optimizations, which can be addressed by simultaneous optimization methods requiring huge computation cost. In this study, a coordinated optimal design method is proposed as a computation cost-effective method for stand-alone and grid-connected zero/low energy buildings and their energy systems on the basis of multi-stage design optimization methods, to effectively consider the interactions between building envelope and energy system design optimizations. An iterative approach is adopted to coordinate multi-stage optimizations of building envelope and energy systems. The Hong Kong zero carbon building is used as the reference building to test and validate the proposed method. The results and experiences of the case studies show that the proposed coordinated design method can provide global optimal designs efficiently and robustly. The life cycle “cost” of the optimal designs is 4{\%} less and unmet cooling load is over 22{\%} less compared with existing multi-stage design methods.},

abstract = {This paper elaborates the formulation and application of an integral methodology for overall energy performance improvement of office buildings and demonstrates its application. The developed multi-objective methodology is demonstrated on a reference office building located in a temperate climate zone with high annual temperature variations. The idea is to formulate a research based proposition in building science with a formulation of a general/integral methodology which could be applied widely in energy performance refurbishment of existing office buildings and help architects and engineers in the early-design stages of new projects. The goal was to formulate an optimized building envelope model using multi-criterion optimization methodology in order to determine efficient window to wall ratio (WWR) and window geometry (WG) in the function of indoor illumination quality, followed by the assessment of glazing parameters influence on the annual energy demand. The integral methodology for overall energy performance improvement of office buildings utilizes multi-criterion optimization method and highly detailed Building Information Modeling (BIM) programs and dynamic energy simulation engines. The developed coupled-integral methodology links together both building envelope construction optimization and user comfort. The methodology is both flexible and adaptable for application in various climatic conditions and for different construction types.},

abstract = {Numerous studies about climate change have emerged in recent years because of their potential impact on many activities of human life, amongst which, the building sector is no exception. Changes in climate conditions have a direct influence on the external conditions for buildings and, thus, on their energy demand. In this context, computer aided simulation provides handy tools that help in assessing this impact. This paper investigates climate data for future scenarios and the effect on energy demand in office buildings in Chile. This data has been generated in the 9 climatic zones that are representative of the main inhabited areas, for the years 2020, 2050 and 2080. Predictions have been produced for the acknowledged A2 ‘medium-high' Greenhouse Gases emissions GHG scenario, pursuant the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The effect of climate change on the energy demand for office buildings is optimized by implementing the calculation procedure of ISO-13790:2008, based on iterations of its envelope and form. As a result, this research clarifies how future climate scenarios will affect the energy demand for different types of office buildings in Chile, and how their shape and enclosure can be optimized.},

abstract = {This research thoroughly explored the impact of archetypes and confounding factors on a proposed holistic design optimization approach for high-rise office buildings with integrated photovoltaic (PV) facades. The design optimization adopts the hybrid generalized pattern search particle swarm optimization (HGPSPSO) algorithm, which is incorporated with qualitative and quantitative sensitivity analyses for factor prioritizing and fixing. Different archetypes are modelled by changing floor plan sizes and shapes, while diverse urban contexts and internal load (heat gain) levels are investigated as major confounding factors beyond designers' control. Variation of these four simulation scenarios are then used to examine the uncertainty of sensitivity indices and optimization potential for passive architectural design parameters. The window geometry, thermal and optical properties are proved to be most important to the reference PV envelope design. The building plan shape is found to have little impact on the weighting of different design parameters, while the shape coefficient (SC) is determined to be almost linearly correlated with the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) demand. The office design with the highest shape coefficient can therefore achieve a net energy demand reduction up to 48.77{\%}. The floor plan size also has minor impact on the sensitivity index for each design factor, but the energy-saving potential grows with decreasing floor sizes. On the contrary, confounding factors can greatly change the sensitivity analysis (SA) result. The window U-value becomes more important with an increasing internal load level and urban context density whereas the impact of the window light-to-solar gain ratio is reduced by peripheral shading. Furthermore, varying confounding factors can even change the dimension of optimization problems based on different factor fixing results. This research can provide early-stage design guidance for energy efficient buildings with a comprehensive analysis of pragmatic building archetypes, background contexts and operation scenarios.},

abstract = {One of the alternatives to reduce building energy consumption recognized and used internationally is establishing standards for the evaluation and classification of buildings in terms of energy performance. In developed countries, the introduction of energy efficiency codes for residential and non-residential buildings started around the time of the first oil crisis in the mid-70s. Ten years later, Brazil has started implemented measures aimed at the conservation and rational use of energy. Initiatives in this regard began with the implementation of the Brazilian Labeling Program, where consumers are provided with information on the energy efficiency of appliances. However, the first energy efficiency law stimulated the most notable improvement in energy efficiency in 2001 after national energy crisis. As a result, the Regulation for Energy Efficiency Labeling of Commercial, Service and Public Buildings (RTQ-C) was released in February 2009 and the Regulation for Energy Efficiency Labeling of Residential Buildings (RTQ-R) was released in November 2010. Nowadays, the labeling of residential, commercial and service buildings is voluntary and the labeling of federal public buildings is mandatory since 2014. This paper presents a review of the building energy efficiency codes and labeling schemes all over the world, an overview of the Brazilian regulations on energy efficiency and discusses the labeling scheme for residential buildings adopted in Brazil. The process of its implementation, strengths and weaknesses in the present labeling scheme and the similarities and differences in relation to international experiences are described. The results obtained to date indicate that a revision is required in order to achieve a more flexible and economically viable process that will enable the program to be established as compulsory.},

abstract = {Transition and decarbonization of the energy sector require the utilisation of new technologies and energy sources. Higher penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources implies the installation of energy storage, to store electricity excess and enhanced system efficiency. These electricity surpluses that will occur more often in the future energy system could be effectively utilized for the production of alternative fuels. Most of the alternative fuels that are considered for future applications are already known chemicals or products, nowadays used for other purposes. Another great advantage of some alternative fuels lies in their possibilities to act as an energy carrier. This feature might be crucial while discussing their utilisation potential and further development. Fuels which can simultaneously be used for power generation and as an energy carrier will have a more important role in the future and are likely to be utilized on a greater scale. Renewable energy source like biomass, on the other hand, is already widely used, and their role in the future system is not questionable. Even though significant increment in biomass consumption raises serious concerns about its sustainability, and seeks for new approaches. In this work, the authors tried to review alternative fuel characteristics, alongside their utilisation and production opportunities. To come up with the optimal solutions, the authors compared various proposed alternative fuels, alongside their advantages and drawbacks with an aim to find the most appropriate role for each fuel.},

Urban building energy models draw the required information from the energy analysis of buildings in the urban context and suggest options for effective implementation of interventions. The growing interest in urban building energy models among researchers, urban designers and authorities has led to the development of a diversity of models and tools, evolving from physical to more advanced hybrid models. By critically analyzing the published research, this paper incorporates an updated overview of the field of urban building energy modeling and investigates possibilities, challenges and shortcomings, as well as an outlook for future improvements. The survey of previous studies identifies technical bottlenecks and legal barriers in access to data, systematic and inherent uncertainties as well as insufficient resources as the main obstacles. Furthermore, this study suggests that the main route to further improvements in urban building energy modeling is its integration with other urban models, such as climate and outdoor comfort models, energy system models and, in particular, mobility models.},

Currently, the Army is required by law to eliminate fossil fuel use in new and renovated facilities by 2030 and to reduce overall facility energy usage 30{\%} by 2030. As part of this on-going energy efficiency effort, the U.S. Army has designed and constructed a Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) at the Fort Hood army base in Texas, which is currently being tested as a prototype. In order to achieve net zero performance and reduce the energy demand, several low-energy building technologies were designed and built including high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a high-performance building envelope, energy efficient lighting and a solar PV system. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the net zero energy performance of the office building at the Fort Hood army base using measured data. The analysis methods applied to the building include: an un-adjusted, measured energy use comparison of both portions of the building; a weather-normalized, change-point linear regression to estimate annual energy savings; and calibrated building energy simulations with thermostat schedules and occupancy conditions of both portions in the building. The results show savings of 37–50{\%} for the renovated portion of the building (i.e., NZEB) compared to the un-renovated portion depending on the method of analysis.},

This paper presents a comprehensive and in-depth systematic review of the up-to-date literature related to the application and characterization of ANN-based metamodels for BPS. First, a general insight into the methodology of metamodel generation and ANN theory is presented. The ANN metamodels are classified according to the type of building they are addressed to, screening them by their inputs (building design variables or indicators to take a certain decision) and outputs (energy consumption, comfort index, climatic condition, environment performance). Then, all the stages for the generation of ANN-based metamodels (sampling methods, data pre-processing, architectures, activations functions, the process of training and testing, and the platforms and frameworks for their implementation) are presented giving a brief theoretical introduction and making a critical review of the literature linked to each stage. For each of these analyzed stages, summary tables and graphs are presented showing the distributions of different alternatives and trends. Finally, the current limitations and areas for further investigation are discussed.},

Therefore, this study aims to advance the implementation and development of innovative designs of building energy codes by exploring which challenges policymakers face when implementing these designs and, subsequently, by identifying how general code development might learn from these challenges. Evaluating the building energy codes of Denmark, France, England, Switzerland, and Sweden, we present six innovative designs of building energy codes and highlight how they advance building decarbonization by increasing energy efficiency and renewable energies, considering embodied energy, closing the performance gap, and accelerating retrofits. Based on 19 expert interviews with practitioners, regulators, and researchers, we identify real-world challenges that policymakers face when implementing innovative designs of building energy codes. Synthesizing these challenges across the countries, we derive six policy principles for advancing the development and implementation of building energy codes. Policymakers can thus learn valuable lessons from front-runners' experience and steer clear of avoidable pitfalls.},

The authors performed a simple sensitivity analysis to identify the most influential of the tested design parameters on energy use intensity, which included WWR, Glass Type, Building Rotation, Building Shape, and Wall Insulation, in that order. They identified synergies and trade-offs when designing for different energy objectives, including (a) decreasing Energy Use Intensity, (b) reducing peak-loads, and (c) increasing passive survivability - i.e., maintaining the safest interior temperatures in an extended power outage.This paper also investigated the effect of urban context as a source of sun shading and found it to have a substantial impact on the design optimization. Ignoring urban context in energy simulation, a common practice, would mislead designers in some cases and result in sub-optimal design decisions. Since in generalized guidelines the future building site is unknown, the authors tested a method for generating urban contexts based on the floor area ratio and maximum building heights of an urban district.},

A genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented by means of the coupling between MATLAB{\textregistered} and EnergyPlus to minimize primary energy consumption (PEC), energy-related global cost (GC) and discomfort hours (DH). The design variables concern the set point temperatures, the radiative properties of plasters, the thermo-physical properties of envelope components, the window type, the building orientation. The GA performs a Pareto optimization and finally two optimal solutions are recommended: the nZEB (nearly zero energy building) optimal solution, which minimizes PEC, and the cost-optimal solution, which minimizes GC. These solutions provide the optimal design strategies for the public and private stakeholders, respectively, which represent the main actors involved in building design. The approach is applied for the design of a new typical Italian residential building. Four locations are considered to investigate the typical Italian climates. The outcomes can give precious indications to rebuild the Italian residential stock with a view to energy-efficiency and cost-optimality, given that the optimal solutions provide low values of PEC – between 62.0 and 91.9 kWhp/m2a – and of GC – between 456 and 665 €/m2 – depending on the location.},

abstract = {The fault diagnosis of air-conditioning systems is of great significance to the energy saving of buildings. This study proposes a novel fault diagnosis approach for building energy saving based on the deep learning method which is deep belief network, and its application potential in the air conditioning fault diagnosis field is investigated. Then, a parameter optimization selection strategy is developed for model optimization. Four kinds of faults of the variable flow refrigerant system under heating mode are used to evaluate the performance of the models. The fault diagnosis results show that the deep belief network model with initial parameters can be used to diagnose the faults of the variable flow refrigerant system. Through the parameter optimization selection strategy, the fault diagnosis correct rate of the optimized model is 97.7{\%}, which is improved by 5.05{\%} compared with the model with initial parameters. The number of hidden layers of the deep belief network model is selected to be 2 layers. This result indicates that the fault diagnosis for variable flow refrigerant systems may not require a very deep model. Additionally, the performance of the optimized deep belief network model is compared with that of the traditional back propagation neural network, and the former is better. This finding also shows that the unsupervised restricted Boltzmann machine layer for data feature reconstruction can improve the fault diagnosis performance.},

However, there are very few studies reporting the comparison of the annual energy consumptions and Electric Peak demand reductions between GSHP and VRF systems because of the limitation of the whole building energy simulation software. Current version of EnergyPlus can model both GSHP and air-source VRF. Therefore, three representative US climate zones including Chicago, Baltimore and Atlanta are selected for conducting this comparison study. The EnergyPlus simulation results show that the GSHP system not only saves more energy than the air-source VRF system but also significantly reduces the Electric Peak demand regardless the climate conditions. This makes the GSHP system a more desirable energy efficient HVAC technology for the utility companies and their clients. {\textcopyright} 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

In this article, a preliminary comparison of energy efficiency between the air-source VRF and GSHP systems is presented. The computer simulation results show that GSHP system is more energy efficient than the air-source VRF system for conditioning a small office building in two selected US climates. In general, GSHP system is more energy efficient than the air-source VRV system, especially when the building has significant heating loads. For buildings with less heating loads, the GSHP system could still perform better than the air-source VRF system in terms of energy efficiency, but the resulting energy savings may be marginal. {\textcopyright} 2009 Elsevier B.V.

In addition, simulating building energy usage has become a key strategy in designing high performance buildings that can better meet the needs of society without consuming excess resources. Therefore, it is important to provide accurate predictions of building energy performance in building design and construction projects. Although many previous studies have addressed the accuracy of building energy simulations, very few studies of this subject have mentioned the importance of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) thermal zoning strategies to sustainable building design. This research provides a systematic literature review of building thermal zoning for building energy simulation. This work also reviews previous definitions of HVAC thermal zoning and its application in building energy simulation programs, including those appearing in earlier studies of the development of new thermal zoning methods for simulation modeling. The results indicate that future research is needed to develop a well-documented and accurate thermal zoning method capable of assisting designers with their building energy simulation needs.},

abstract = {Plug and process loads (PPLs) account for 33{\%} of U.S. commercial building electricity consumption (McKenney et al. 2010). (See Figure 1.) Minimizing these loads is a significant challenge in the design and operation of an energy-efficient building. Lobato et al. (2011) and Lobato et al. (2012) define PPLs as energy loads that are not related to general lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, and water heating, and that typically do not provide comfort to the occupants. The percentage of total building energy use from PPLs is increasing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), by 2030, commercial building energy consumption is expected to increase by 24{\%}; PPL energy consumption is anticipated to increase by 49{\%} in the same time frame (DOE 2010). These trends illustrate the importance of PPL energy reduction to achieve an overall goal of reducing whole-building energy consumption.

PPLs account for 33{\%} of the total energy consumed by commercial buildings. Graph by Chad Lobato, NREL; Data source: DOE (2010) Using the process and strategies outlined in this brochure, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) was able to drastically reduce its PPL energy use in the Research Support Facility (RSF). NREL's previous office space PPLs used nearly 2,257,000 kWh/year; after implementing these PPL strategies, the RSF used 1,290,000 kWh/year (see Figure 2). At NREL's utility rate of {\$}0.06/kWh, there is an annual cost saving of {\$}58,000. This "quick start guide" will help building owners and energy managers reduce PPL energy use in their facilities. This brochure provides an overview of PPLs in office buildings and describes the process and strategies needed to cost-effectively reduce their energy impact. It packages extensive PPL research into an easy-to-use set of instructions and provides quick references to useful tools, websites, and databases. It is also intended to guide the procurement of new equipment that incorporates strategies and technologies to significantly reduce energy consumption.},

abstract = {Abstract Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) have been widely considered to be an effective solution to the increasing energy and environmental problems. Most conventional design methods for NZEB systems are based on deterministic data/information and have not systematically considered the significant uncertainty impacts. Consequently, the conventional design methods lead to popular oversized problems in practice. Meanwhile, NZEB system design methods need to consider customers' actual performance preferences but few existing methods can take account of them. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-criteria system design optimization for NZEBs under uncertainties. In the study, three performance criteria are used to evaluate the overall NZEB system performance based on user-defined weighted factors.

A proper sizing of the nZEB systems (e.g. HVAC systems, PV panels, wind turbines and batteries) is essential for achieving the desirable level of thermal comfort, energy balance and grid dependence. Parameter uncertainty, component degradation and maintenance are three crucial factors affecting the nZEB system performances and should be systematically considered in system sizing. Until now, there are some uncertainty-based design methods been developed, but most of the existing studies neglect component degradation and maintenance. Due to the complex impacts of degradation and maintenance, proper sizing of nZEB systems considering multiple criteria (i.e. thermal comfort, energy balance and grid dependence) is still a great challenge. This paper, therefore, proposes a robust design method of nZEB systems using genetic algorithm (GA) which takes into account the parameter uncertainty, component degradation and maintenance. The nZEB life-cycle cost is used as the fitness function, and the user' performance requirements on thermal comfort, energy balance and grid dependence are defined as three constraints. This study can help improve the designers' understanding of the impacts of uncertainty, degradation, and maintenance on the nZEB life-cycle performances. The proposed method is effective in minimizing the nZEB life-cycle cost through designing the robust optimal nZEB systems sizes and planning the optimal maintenance scheme, meanwhile satisfying the user specified constraints on thermal comfort, energy balance, and grid dependence during the whole service life.},

abstract = {{\textcopyright} 2018, Tsinghua University Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. The conception of net zero energy buildings (NZEB) has been introduced to limit energy consumption and pollution emissions in buildings. Classification of NZEB is based on renewable energy (RE) supply options, energy measurement process, RE-sources location, and balances whether are energetic or exergetic. In general, it is traditionally agreed that there are three main steps to reach the NZEB performance, starting through the use of passive strategies, energy efficient technologies, and then RE generation systems. Then, these three steps could be accompanied with the smart integration of advanced efficient energy technologies. A state of the art shows that the main ZEB studies are related to: energy savings, reduce electric bills, energy independence, pollution reduction, and occupants comfort, in addition, others are more interested in the aesthetic aspect by combining modern technologies with innovations to achieve high energy and sustainability performance. Building optimization is a promising technique to evaluate NZEB design choices; it has been adopted to choose the perfect solution to reach the zero energy performance through the optimization of an objective function related to energy (thermal loads, RE generation, energy savings) and/or environment (CO2emissions) and/or economy (life-cycle cost (LCC), net-present value (NPV), investment cost). This paper starts by presenting the global energetic and pollution challenges the world faces. Moreover, it shows, to the best to the author's knowledge, the existing NZEB definitions and the corresponding case studies investigated in 8 different climatic zones (humid continental, humid subtropical, Mediterranean, moderate continental, moderate continental, marine west coast, tropical, semi-arid and hot), the paper also focus on the importance to treat each climate separately. Even in the same country, two or more climates may co-exist. NZEBs drawbacks are also presented. Furthermore, different optimization problems are reviewed in the last section. Building energy optimization methods are employed to obtain the ideal solution for specific objective functions which are either related to energy, and/or environment and/or economy. Optimization variables are distributed between passive and/or RE generation systems. Finally, a table summarizing the most commonly used electric and thermal RE applications which yield to the zero energy balance in each climate, as well as three flowcharts are presented to summarize the whole three-stage procedure, to reach NZEB, starting from building designing, passing through the optimization procedure, and lastly categorizing the zero energy balance.},

abstract = {Abstract Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) have been widely considered to be an effective solution to the increasing energy and environmental problems. Most conventional design methods for NZEB systems are based on deterministic data/information and have not systematically considered the significant uncertainty impacts. Consequently, the conventional design methods lead to popular oversized problems in practice. Meanwhile, NZEB system design methods need to consider customers' actual performance preferences but few existing methods can take account of them. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-criteria system design optimization for NZEBs under uncertainties. In the study, three performance criteria are used to evaluate the overall NZEB system performance based on user-defined weighted factors. Case studies are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.},

abstract = {{\textcopyright} 2016, Tsinghua University Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Curtain walls are believed to be “energy sinks” because of their relatively low thermal performance; however, the integration of energy generating technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) panels may enable converting these systems to “energy positive” curtain walls. A methodology using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) approach is developed and implemented to identify configurations of energy positive curtain walls by accounting for the complex interacting effect of facade design parameters. The “energy positive” curtain wall in this paper is defined as the energy generated by the curtain wall facade on an annual basis exceeds the energy consumption of a perimeter zone office enclosed by this curtain wall facade. Ten design parameters are studied, including glazing U-value, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), and visible transmittance (Tv); U-value of the spandrel panel; U-value of the mullion; window wall ratio (WWR); infiltration rate; depth and inclination of overhang; and efficiency of PV modules. The significance of individual design parameters on the energy performance is ranked for four cardinal orientations based on the total sensitivity index. The WWR, U-glazing, and infiltration rate are the three most significant parameters influencing the total annual energy consumption of the office unit simulated, while the WWR, PV efficiency, and U-glazing are the most significant design parameters for achieving energy positive curtain walls. The methodology presented in this paper helps facilitate the design process to resolve the issues with conflicting effects of design parameters.},

Fa{\c{c}}ade surfaces are assumed to be in the form of curtain walls, allowing for freedom in the design of surface geometry. The design parameters that are investigated include geometrical aspects, solar technologies integrated in the facades and the surface ratio and positioning of windows. The study is carried out for Montr{\'{e}}al area (45° N). Preliminary results indicate that some designs are significantly more advantageous than a flat south facing fa{\c{c}}ade. Electricity generation of PV system integrated in 50{\%} of the surface of a fa{\c{c}}ade shaped as folded platecan be increased by up to 56{\%} as compared to theflat south facing fa{\c{c}}ade, which serves as reference. When PV coverage is increased to 2/3 of the fa{\c{c}}ade surface area, electricity generation can reach a factor of 2.8 of the reference.Heating and cooling loads are affected as well by the design. The increase of heating load can be mitigated by increasing the transparency of PV panels.The design of folded plates can affect daylighting level and distribution. While the total useful daylighting hours are not significantly compromised, for some configurations, the number of hours with large illuminanceis significantly reduced, as compared to the reference case.},

The trade-off between the ease of operation for users and the fidelity of model poses the difficulty in selecting the appropriate approaches. This paper suggests selecting an appropriate approach based on three criteria: computational cost, ability to reproduce consistent results and uncertainty. A base model of the perimeter zone in a typical office building in Montreal is created in EnergyPlus. The variation of energy consumption due to varying fifteen glazing units is predicted using six glazing modelling approaches. The uncertainty of the six modelling approaches is quantified.

In this research, a lightweight building energy simulation tool - SimBldPy, is proposed. The proposed simplified hourly method in this paper includes additional thermal resistances of the zone internal floor and internal walls coupled with adjacent zone temperature. Two DOE reference building types (one residential and one office) located in Philadelphia and San Francisco are used in the research to verify the performance of the tool. Its performance and validity in simulating hourly energy use with different heating and cooling set points in each zone, under various climate conditions, and with multiple ECMs being applied to the building, have been tested and verified with EnergyPlus. This tool and modeling method could be used for rapid modeling and assessment of building energy for a variety of ECM options. By using this tool in modeling an on-campus building in University of Pennsylvania, it is shown that the calibrated building model in SimBldPy can be used to model the energy use of an existing building. With low cost in computation, the tool is able to provide rapid modeling and assessment of building energy use (BEU) for parametric studies.},

abstract = {An operational strategy to optimize building operating energy costs for suppliers and consumers is an important challenge for electrical power utilities. There are various supply-side measures that utilities have to take to ensure continuous energy supply for building heating and air-conditioning. During peak energy demand, utilities are often forced to use more expensive and less efficient generation, thereby increasing the cost of energy. However, some demand-side management practices behind the consumer meter can help in meeting this challenge. One such measure is the use of thermal storage for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning applications in commercial buildings. There is a gap of adequate knowledge of an optimal control strategy of cold storage operation in buildings adapting to applicable time of day tariffs to minimize annual energy use and annual energy cost of operation. There is also a need to use commercially available tools to avoid the use of complex mathematical models. This study demonstrates strategic controls with six operating modes for using thermal energy storage to shift peak electricity demand, using the time of day tariffs as a decision variable, and reducing operating costs, while also minimizing the size of the system. EnergyPlus was used to model a standard reference large office building for three thermal energy storage system cases: mixed chilled water storage, stratified chilled water storage, and ice storage. An annual average shifting of 25–78{\%} of peak electricity was achieved from the simulation results. The strategy was able to achieve an annual 10–17{\%} cost reduction for consumers using the time of use rates available from a local utility.},

abstract = {In Brazil, a low-latitude country characterized by its high availability and uniformity of solar radiation, the use of PV solar energy integrated in buildings is still incipient. However, at the moment there are several initiatives which give some hints that lead to think that there will be a change shortly. In countries where this technology is already a daily reality, such as Germany, Japan or Spain, the recommendations and basic criteria to avoid losses due to orientation and tilt are widespread. Extrapolating those measures used in high latitudes to all regions, without a previous deeper analysis, is standard practice. They do not always correspond to reality, what frequently leads to false assumptions and may become an obstacle in a country which is taking the first step in this area. In this paper, the solar potential yield for different surfaces in Brazilian cities (located at latitudes between 0° and 30°S) are analyzed with the aim of providing the necessary tools to evaluate the suitability of the buildings' envelopes for photovoltaic use.},

abstract = {Most of the Catalonian population and urban areas are located along the Mediterranean coastal zone and for this analysis three largest Catalonia's cities are chosen: Barcelona, Terrassa and Tarragona. Each city is a geographical representative of a different climate type according to the re-analysed K{\"{o}}ppen–Geiger climate classification. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the effects of regional climate variations on the potential of natural ventilation (NV) application in building design. The first part of the article presents the availability of NV corresponding to yearly climate conditions applying the methodology “Climate potential for natural ventilation” (CPNV). In the continuation, the second analysis is calculated with building energy simulation software and displays possible refrigeration energy savings in three geographical locations. Mixed-mode (or hybrid-mode) and night-ventilation techniques are applied for the cooling process of a hypothetical low-rise office building model.},

@article{Zhang2014,
abstract = {As one form of passive cooling, night ventilation (NV) has been proven effective to improve the building energy performance. In previous studies, however, fixed NV operating strategies were usually pre-defined, ignoring the weather condition variations over the whole operation process, the influence of outdoor humidity on NV's efficiency, and NV's integrated performance with active air conditioning systems. Such strategies may have potentials for further improvements. This paper presents a systematic approach to address the dynamic optimization of integrated operation of NV and active building air conditioning using typical variable–air–volume (VAV) systems as the case. In the optimization scheme, the physical model is developed per differential algebraic equations (DAEs). The simultaneous collocation method is introduced to translate the dynamic optimization into a nonlinear program, which is then implemented in the GAMS platform and handled by IPOPT solver. The study results indicate that the optimized strategies lead to a remarkable energy saving of 23.19–49.31{\%} in different climate conditions compared to the traditional local control scheme without NV, and a saving of 14.97–39.70{\%} compared to that with pre-defined NV.},

@article{Shaviv2001,
abstract = {We calculated the influence of thermal mass and night ventilation on the maximum indoor temperature in summer. The results for different locations in the hot humid climate of Israel are presented and analyzed. The maximum indoor temperature depends linearly on the temperature difference between day and night at the site. The fit can be applied as a tool to predict from the temperature swing of the location the maximum indoor temperature decrease due to the thermal mass and night ventilation. Consequently, the fit can be implemented as a simple design tool to present the reduction in indoor temperature due to the amount of the thermal mass and the rate of night ventilation, without using an hourly simulation model. Moreover, this design tool is able to provide for the designer in the early design stages the conditions when night ventilation and thermal mass are effective as passive cooling design strategy.},

@article{SCHULZE2018,
abstract = {Natural ventilation has the potential of achieving high ventilation rates for fresh air supply and summer cooling, although without the possibility of air to air heat recovery in winter. This study aims to compare the overall energetic efficiency and comfort provision of controlled natural ventilation in energy efficient offices and in the non-refurbished building stock with the related mechanically ventilated reference. The goal is to determine the energy savings for modern offices with low heating demand and higher summer cooling loads compared to existing office buildings, where heating loads dominate. To make sure that the simulation assumptions match the reality, the air-flow modelling of a single-sided ventilation strategy is validated by comparing it with results from tracer-gas measurements. Simulation results indicate that properly designed and controlled natural ventilation shows a good functionality in both state-of-the-art buildings and in the stock. In the moderate climate of Stuttgart/Germany no mechanical cooling is necessary. For state-of-the-art buildings ventilation energy losses in the heating season are easily compensated by lower cooling demand in the warm period of the year. In the building stock the conclusions are less clear, especially for densely occupied offices. Energy losses in the heating season can be compensated in the warm period, but primary energy savings are dependent on primary energy factors and hence how heat, cold and electricity are generated.},
