Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model (2022)
Journal Article
Cui, Y., Zhu, Z., Zhao, X., Li, Z., & Qin, P. (2022). Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model. Buildings, 12(7), Article 1052. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12071052

Conventional building energy models (BEM) for heating and cooling energy-consumption prediction without calibration are not accurate, and the commonly used manual calibration method requires the high expertise of modelers. Bayesian calibration (BC) i... Read More about Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model.

Operational performance of a novel fast-responsive heat storage/exchanging unit (HSEU) for solar heating systems (2019)
Journal Article
Fan, Y., Zhao, X., Li, J., Cheng, Y., Zhou, J., Yu, M., …Myers, S. (2020). Operational performance of a novel fast-responsive heat storage/exchanging unit (HSEU) for solar heating systems. Renewable energy, 151, 137-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.11.007

In order for a solar heating system to provide heat immediately after sunrise, a fast response is needed to the heat demand of a serviced space. The majority of existing solar heating systems have a slow response time due to the large volume of water...
