Building Retrofitting through Coupling of Building Energy Simulation-Optimization Tool with CFD and Daylight Programs
Rabani, Mehrdad; Madessa, Habtamu Bayera; Nord, Natasa (Energies;Volume 14, Issue 8, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04-14)Simultaneous satisfaction of both thermal and visual comfort in buildings may be a challenging task. Therefore, this paper suggests a comprehensive framework for the building energy optimization process integrating ... -
Detailed Assessment of Hybrid Ventilation Control in a Mixed-Mode Building in Cold Climate
Rabani, Mehrdad; Petersen, Arnkell (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This paper investigates a hybrid ventilation control method for a mixed-mode office landscape in a cold climate, i.e. Norway. The mixed-mode building utilizes a hybrid ventilation system that combines natural ventilation ... -
Hybrid Ventilation Systems for Reduced Lifetime Emissions in Cold Climates
Rabani, Mehrdad; Petersen, Arnkell Jonas; Steneng, Christian; Utstøl, Simon; Halla, Haakon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are notable sources of emissions in buildings. In cold climates, mechanical ventilation systems are characterized by significant initial embodied emissions but benefit ... -
