Energy Performance Comparison of Heating and Air Conditioning Systems for Multifamily Residential Buildings

The type of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system has a large impact on the heating and cooling energy consumption in multifamily residential buildings. This paper compares the energy performance of three HVAC systems: a direct expansion (DX) split system, a split air source heat pump (ASHP) system, and a closedloop water source heat pump (WSHP) system with a boiler and an eva...

District Heating in Buildings

This paper is published by Euroheat & Power. Our aim is to inform about district heating and cooling as efficient and environmentally benign energy solutions that make use of resources that otherwise would be wasted, delivering reliable and comfortable heating and cooling in return.

Determinants of Operating Costs of Multifamily Rental Housing

Operating costs are an important, but not much studied, component of apartment financial performance. This paper establishes an economic framework for interpreting operating costs and uses a unique data set to investigate the determinants of operating costs. Empirical results are consistent with theory and indicated that housing quality is a strong driver of operating costs; older properties mu...

Effects of Southern Wall Angle on Heating Performance and Energy Consumption of Residential Buildings in Yazd

The southern wall plays an important role on heating perfrmance and energy consumption of residential buildings. This study investigates the effects of southern wall angle, glass area and external canopy on heating perfrmance and energy consumption of a typical residential building in Yazd. Using causality method and thermal simulation by DesignBuilder simulator, we examined energy consumption ...
