Thermal stability is of major importance in polymer extrusion, where product quality is dependent upon the level of melt homogeneity achieved by the extruder screw. Extrusion is an energy intensive process and optimisation of process energy usage while maintaining melt stability is necessary in...

Households represent one of the most interesting sectors, when analyzing Croatia’s energy balance. It makes up one of the largest energy consumers with around 75PJ per year, which is almost 29% of Croatia’s final energy demand. Considering this consumption, implementing various mechanisms,...

There is a widespread assumption in energy statistics and econometrics that energy intensity and energy efficiency are equivalent measures of energy performance of economies. The paper points to the discrepancy between the engineering concept of energy efficiency and the energy intensity as it...

Incentives for industrial loads to provide demand response on day-ahead and reserve markets are affected both by network tariffs, as well as regulations on the provision of flexibility in different markets. This paper uses a numerical model of the chlor-alkali process with a storable...

The research aims to develop control strategies for intelligent glazed façades and investigate the influence of different control strategies on energy and comfort performance in office buildings. The intelligent glazed façade is capable of controlling the thermal, solar and mass transmittance...

India’s recent macro-economic and structural changes are transforming the economy and bringing significant changes to energy demand behaviour. Life-style and consumption behaviour are evolving rapidly due to accelerated economic growth in recent times. The population structure is changing,...

Aerogel granulate glazing systems for energy efficient buildings have various promising properties, including their thermal insulation properties and translucent features. In this study, the energy performance of aerogel granulate glazing systems was evaluated by considering an office facade...

Degree days represent a versatile climatic indicator which is commonly used in building energy performance analysis.

This paper presents a study of energy performance enhancement methods in multistory residential buildings. The study is carried out for Montreal location, Canada (45°N). All configurations considered assume a suburban environment that allows high solar exposure and no obstruction from adjacent...
