Simulation based control for Energy Efficiency building operation and maintenance (Energy IN TIME)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Buildings Operational stage represents 80% of building’s life-cycle cost of which 50% is consequence of the energy use. Up to 90% of the buildings’ life cycle carbon emissions occur during their operational phase, mainly as consequence of the HVAC, lighting and appliances’ energy use. Therefore, energy and cost saving strategies addressing this building operation phase will have a major impact in ...
