Coupling optimization study of key influencing factors on PCM trombe wall for year thermal management
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an environment-interactive novel Trombe wall system, which was a passive building envelope integrated with phase change material (PCM) based on traditional Trombbe wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the impact of automatic shading control scenarios on occupant’s comfort and energy load
TL;DR: This paper aims to compare the most used control functions and their implications on user comfort and energy load in different climate zones using EnergyPlus as a simulation platform and results showed that climatic conditions impact the shading control scenario significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten questions concerning co-simulation for performance prediction of advanced building envelopes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical overview of the possibilities that co-simulation approaches offer to improve performance assessments of advanced building envelopes, and present current barriers to cosimulation and discusses critical elements to overcome them.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of occupant-centric control strategies for adaptive facades
TL;DR: As a major finding, occupant-centric control is limited to certain applications, which imposes thinking of a new innovative shading control strategy that counterbalances antagonistic phenomena and can enhance both user's comfort desires and building's energy efficiency especially in a shared working environment.
