... and smart grid/energy storage systems requires buildings not to be isolated [ 2 ] but be a part of the larger grid wide energy system [ 3 ]. This trend requires more reliable operation of building HVAC systems and efficient automated fault detection and diagnosis (AFDD) tools to detect and diagnose faults...

... efficiency on the key attributes of total carbon footprint, life cycle costs, operational energy savings, and site-specific primary energy efficiency are analyzed and discussed in detail. Heat pumps and hydrogen-fueled solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are highly effective building energy resources compared...

...Jordan Thompson; Moncef Krarti In this paper, a resiliency analysis is carried out to assess the energy, economic, and power outage survivability benefits of efficient and net-zero energy communities. The analysis addresses the appropriate steps to designing an energy-efficient and net-zero energy...
