Sensitivity analysis of building physical parameters to maximize heating energy saving using MPC (2019)
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...

Consumers’ Attitudes to Support Green Energy: A Case Study in Shanghai (2019)
Journal Article
Vand, B., Hast, A., Bozorg, S., Li, Z., Syri, S., & Deng, S. (2019). Consumers’ Attitudes to Support Green Energy: A Case Study in Shanghai. Energies, 12(12), Article 2379. https://doi.org/10.3390/en12122379

Residents’ willingness to use green energy products is a major concern for different stakeholders and policymakers due to the reformed Chinese electricity market since 2015. This study focused on the Chinese consumer’s willingness to opt and pay for... Read More about Consumers’ Attitudes to Support Green Energy: A Case Study in Shanghai.
