Heating and cooling of buildings account for around 15% of all global energy consumption. In light of the ongoing energy transition, we aim to improve the efficiency of both in a European single-family house by using photovoltaic-thermal collectors with a ...
Energy piles represent an innovative technology that can help provide sustainable geothermal heating or cooling energy for thermal conditioning purposes. In hot-dominated climates, the interest is to inject heat in the ground and extract energy for space-c ...
At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...
We present novel analysis and algorithms for solving sparse phase retrieval and sparse principal component analysis (PCA) with convex lifted matrix formulations. The key innovation is a new mixed atomic matrix norm that, when used as regularization, promot ...
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful tool in statistics and machine learning. While existing study of PCA focuses on the recovery of principal components and their associated eigenvalues, there are few precise characterizations of individual pr ...
Demand Response is an attractive option to solve the problem of balancing supply and demand while providing flexibility to the grid. Buildings have been identified as highly valuable flexibility resources due to the increase of thermoelectric devices such ...
