The Role of Occupants in Buildings’ Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?

Dolaana Khovalyg, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Matteo Favero

Buildings’ expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual observations. This is commonly referred to as the energy performance gap. As such, many factors can contribute to the disagreement between expectations and observations. ...

Short-term energy use prediction of solar-assisted water heating system: Application case of combined attention-based LSTM and time-series decomposition

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

With improved insulation of building envelopes and the use of low-temperature space heating systems, the share of energy use for domestic hot water (DHW) production in buildings has increased significantly, and nearly become the most energy-expensive servi ...

A multi-domain data collection strategy for capturing relationships between occupant behaviour, comfort, indoor environment, and energy use in office

Marilyne Andersen, Dusan Licina, Dolaana Khovalyg, Caroline Karmann, Verena Marie Barthelmes

A significant corpus of research has shown that occupant behaviour is a key factor of uncertainty when predicting building energy use. Building occupants affect energy use directly and indirectly by regulating their indoor environment according to their co ...

Impact of air-flow on thermal performance of air-spaces behind cladding (ASHRAE 1759-TRP)

Mohammad Rahiminejad, Dolaana Khovalyg

The project ASHRAE 1759-RP addresses the impact of the ventilated cavity behind external claddings on the thermal performance of the wall structure by defining “effective thermal resistance” of air gaps based on the linearized network of thermal resistance ...

Critical review of standards for indoor thermal environment and air quality

Dolaana Khovalyg

Quality of the indoor environment has become an important parameter to account for in new and existing buildings due to the increasing number of people spending most of their time indoors. Generally, the design and evaluation of indoor environments in buil ...

Combined desiccant-ejector cooling system assisted by Organic Rankine Cycle for zero-power cooling and dehumidification

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

This study presents a novel set-up for desiccant-based cooling and dehumidification systems. In this cycle, a solid desiccant and conventional combined cooling and power (CCP) systems, based on the ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) and the organic Rankine ...

Water-energy nexus approach to compare performance of evaporative and vapor-compression cooling systems

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari, Nasim Soori

Evaporative cooling systems consume high water, but low electricity for their operation. On the other hand, vapor compression systems consume no water, but high electricity. Water and energy systems are interconnected at different levels. Therefore, water ...

Which sensor type at which location should offices with south orientated window choose to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption?

Dolaana Khovalyg

The common placement of thermostats in offices might not reflect the actual thermal environment around occupants and influence the energy use. In this research, it is questioned which type of thermostat at which location better represents the conditions in ...
