Chinese consumer attitudes and barriers towards green energy
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Hast, A., Syri, S., Cao, G., & Xiang, Z. (2014, January). Chinese consumer attitudes and barriers towards green energy. Paper presented at International Sustainable Built Environment Conference (ISBE 2014), Doha, Qatar

China’s energy consumption has more than doubled in less than 10 years and China is now the world’s greatest consumer of energy. China produced 1/5 of the world’s total electricity by 2010, and 60% of energy is generated by coal. Therefore, China alo...

The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Jokisalo, J., & Sirén, K. (2016, September). The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house. Presented at The 3rd IBPSA-England Conference BSO 2016, Newcaslte

This study aims to investigate the energy demand response (DR) actions on energy consumption and cost for a thermal energy storage system with a ground source heat pump in a detached residential house in a cold climate. This aim was applied for two b... Read More about The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house.

Demand Response of Space Heating and Ventilation – Impact on Indoor Environmental Quality
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martin, K., Jokisalo, J., Kosonen, R., & Alimohammadisagvand, B. (2018, June). Demand Response of Space Heating and Ventilation – Impact on Indoor Environmental Quality. Presented at Roomvent & Ventilation 2018, Espoo, Finland

Demand response can be utilized within heating and ventilation of buildings to reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs on both utility and consumer level. During demand response control, some of the indoor environmental parameters (room air temperature...

Performance investigation of a regenerative-type indirect evaporative cooler in Qatar climate
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Hasan, A., & Siren, K. (2014, January). Performance investigation of a regenerative-type indirect evaporative cooler in Qatar climate. Paper presented at International Sustanable Built Environment Conference (ISBE 2014), Doha, Qatar

The building sector is responsible of some 40% of the total energy consumption in the world. Cooling energy is an important part of the energy needed in buildings and is increasing as a result of the higher levels of indoor air conditions and the glo...

Sensitivity analysis of building physical parameters to maximize heating energy saving using MPC
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vand, B., Lopes, Y. K., Hathway, E. A., & Rockett, P. (2019, June). Sensitivity analysis of building physical parameters to maximize heating energy saving using MPC. Presented at The 3rd International Conference on Energy Harvesting, Storage, and Transfer, Ottawa, Canada

Buildings are one of the largest energy consumers and emitters of CO2, and they consume a significant portion of the overall energy in the world [1]. There is an increased interest in using model-predictive control (MPC) to optimise building performa...
