Assessment of mid-to-long term energy saving impacts of nearly zero energy building incentive policies in cold region of China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the impact of nearly zero energy building (NZEB) policies on building energy reduction in mid to long term and contribution to energy peak reduction remain unknown.

The power of efficiency: Optimizing environmental and social benefits through demand-side-management
TL;DR: In this paper, three DSM scenarios that vary in capital investment costs of technology retrofits were tested for the contemporary Northeastern US and the results showed that these resulted in an 8.3-16.5% decrease in summertime regional electricity consumption.

Analysis and optimization of load matching in photovoltaic systems for zero energy buildings in different climate zones of China
TL;DR: In this article, a load matching assessment and optimization of photovoltaic (PV) system in different climate zones of China was conducted. But the authors did not consider the impact of the tilt angle, orientation, PV plot ratio and building height on the achievement of zero energy buildings (ZEBs).

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current methods and advances in forecasting of wind power generation
TL;DR: A review of the current methods and advances in wind power forecasting and prediction can be found in this article, where numerical wind power prediction methods from global to local scales, ensemble forecasting, upscaling and downscaling processes are discussed.
