The energy consumption of conventional HVAC systems in cold climates is strongly influenced by the ventilation thermal loads required to keep adequate levels of indoor air quality. The improvement of the energy efficiency of such systems may be achieved using heat recovery systems consisting of...

The growing concern about decarbonization of the energy production system led to the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). However, RES has the drawback of being inherently intermittent and lack controllability, placing limitations on their use. To avoid such limitations, the exploitation of a...
