Towards sustainable, energy-efficient and healthy ventilation strategies in buildings: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development of energy-efficient and healthy ventilation in buildings is presented, where the influence of occupants' behaviour on the energy use and the correlation between ventilation and the occupants' health and productivity are also considered.

Potential of structural thermal mass for demand-side management in dwellings
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential to improve the balance between the electricity use for heating and local electricity production of a nearly zero energy building (nZEB) by active use of structural thermal storage capacity of the building was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization Under Uncertainty of Thermal Storage-Based Flexible Demand Response With Quantification of Residential Users’ Discomfort
TL;DR: A two-stage stochastic programming model for provision of flexible demand response (DR) based on thermal energy storage in the form of hot water storage and/or storage in building material and the utilization of the ETD metric to facilitate quantification of the expected total (energy and thermal discomfort) cost is demonstrated.
