Sensor deployment to support the integrated energy management system in residential buildings in ReCO2ST LoRa Dataset

<p>LoRa Radio Testing Datasets for preliminary performance tests. These datasets were taken in order to ensure that the LoRa radios were capable of transmitting through concrete and testing various preamble settings of the radio. As per the paper,</p> <p>&quot;Although these testing methodologies were indicative but not exact or perfect, to test in a manner that was qualitative would have been both costly and beyond the scope of the project.&quot;&nbsp;</p> <p>These tests were to help us verify feasibility of the chosen LoRa Radio</p>

Optimised household consumption profiles through a smart building energy mangement system TABEDE

<p>In the context of the TABEDE project (<a href="https://www.tabede.eu/">https://www.tabede.eu/</a>) several synthetic profiles simulating the consumption and generation of residential buildings,&nbsp;whose appliances were&nbsp;controlled by our proposed Energy Management System (i.e., the TABEDE solution), were simulated. Their construction process was characterised by the following:</p> <ul> <li>Consumption profiles were generated via a bottom-up approach capable of emulating the consumption of individual household appliances. These last ones correspond to the most used appliances in the UK, which were randomly distributed among the buildings based on their&nbsp;average utilisation rate and ownership observed in residential buildings in the country.</li> <li>The physics in terms of heat exchange between neighbouring buildings and the environment were considered, together with the size of the buildings and their physical characteristics. A total of 66 houses and apartments, according to 8 type or building archetypes were created.</li> <li>PV generation profiles were generated according to the meteorological condition of the simulated day.</li> </ul> <p>Together with this, the profiles feature how the TABEDE solution optimised the flexible part of the consumption (i.e., appliances that were controllable by the solution and whose consumption could be shifted in time without sacrificing user comfort) to minimize the electricity bill of the buildings.</p> <p>The information contained in the actual database features the following variables:</p> <ul> <li>TABEDE penetration: percentage of buildings owning the TABEDE solution. Buildings with TABEDE will observe their flexible consumption being optimised.</li> <li>PV penetration: percentage of buildings with a PV system installed on them.</li> <li>Simulation day: one day in summer (19/06/2019) featuring the highest solar radiation of the year, and a day in winter (19/12/2019) with the lowest.</li> <li>Batteries: whether the PV systems is installed alongside household batteries.</li> </ul> <p>Details on the formulation can be found in: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.energy-proceedings.org/an-intelligent-infrastructure-for-enabling-demand-response-ready-buildings/__;!!La4veWw!khYBEaeJY85mX5yQUrp0PwoXcg5U10dEdgZ296hONYGyBS5xg91Z8MoDUQy34a4f9Lo$">https://www.energy-proceedings.org/an-intelligent-infrastructure-for-enabling-demand-response-ready-buildings/</a></p>

Scout Benchmark Scenarios for U.S. Building Energy and CO2 Emissions to 2050

<p><strong>Overview and Intended Use Cases</strong></p> <p>These scenarios establish a range of futures for U.S. buildings sector energy use and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions to 2050 using <a href="https://scout-bto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">Scout</a>, a reproducible and granular model of U.S. building energy use, emissions, and consumer costs developed by the U.S. national labs for the U.S. Department of Energy's Building Technologies Office (BTO).</p> <p>Scout benchmark scenario data are suitable for the following example use cases:</p> <ul> <li>Setting high-level policy goals for U.S. buildings sector energy use, electricity demand, and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions over both the near- and long-term (e.g., X% building CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reductions vs. 2005 levels by 2030, Y% reductions vs. 2005 levels by 2050);</li> <li>Exploring the effects of key deployment dynamics driving U.S. buildings sector energy and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions to 2050 that could be affected by policy levers (e.g., raising minimum technology performance levels; improving market penetration of commercially available technologies; accelerating electrification and/or retrofit rates; introducing breakthrough technologies to the market);</li> <li>Determining priority segments (regions, building types, and end use/technology types) and sequencing of U.S. buildings sector energy and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reductions and/or changes in total consumption by fuel type to 2050 under a given set of assumptions;</li> <li>Identifying the energy and CO<sub>2</sub> impacts or cost effectiveness of specific technologies or operational approaches of interest&mdash;in isolation or after considering competition with other measures in a scenario portfolio; and/or</li> <li>Exploring the total cost of deploying different portfolios of building energy efficiency and end-use electrification measures, as well as the total consumer energy cost savings potential of those portfolios.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><strong>Scenario Summary</strong></p> <p>A total of 5 scenarios explore total building energy use, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and technology and energy costs from 2024&ndash;2050 under varying levels of demand-side deployment of building efficiency and electrification measures and parallel decarbonization of buildings&rsquo; electricity supply. Narrative descriptions of these scenarios are as follows:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Stated Policies: </strong>Existing policies and regulations (mainly IRA for buildings) lead to modestly accelerated deployment of HPs/HPWHs but not other efficiency measures in the buildings sector. The power sector decarbonizes consistent with a &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84916.pdf">Mid-case (with tax credit phaseout)</a>&rdquo; scenario.</li> <li><strong>Mid: </strong>Policy makers rely mostly on market-based instruments to moderately increase deployment of efficient technology and fuel switching to heat pumps. The power sector decarbonizes consistent with a &ldquo;Mid-case with 95% Decarbonization by 2050 (without tax credit phaseout)&rdquo; scenario.</li> <li><strong>High: </strong>Policy makers use both regulations and market-based instruments to dramatically accelerate deployment of high efficiency technologies and fuel switching to heat pumps, though building technologies with breakthrough increases in performance at low cost do not materialize on the market. The power sector decarbonizes consistent with a &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84916.pdf">Mid-case with 100% Decarbonization by 2035 (without tax credit phaseout)</a>&rdquo; scenario.</li> <li><strong>Breakthrough: </strong>Research and innovation breakthroughs lead to market availability of cost-effective, high-performance building technologies by 2030; these, coupled with accelerated deployment of high efficiency technologies and fuel switching to heat pumps, lead to aggressive buildings sector transformation. The power sector decarbonizes consistent with a &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84916.pdf">Mid-case with 100% Decarbonization by 2035 (without tax credit phaseout)</a>&rdquo; scenario.</li> <li><strong>Inefficient Electrification Sensitivity:&nbsp;</strong>Policy makers use regulations and market-based instruments to encourage fuel switching but do not include provisions that require switching to efficient heat pumps, resulting in a substantial amount of switching to inefficient electric resistance heating and water heating technologies. The power sector decarbonizes consistent with a &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84916.pdf">Mid-case (with tax credit phaseout)</a>&rdquo; scenario.</li> </ul> <p>The key input dimensions that are varied to produce the above range of scenarios are as follows:</p> <ul> <li><u>Market-available technology performance range:</u> the energy performance levels of building technologies available for purchase by end use consumers, bounded by a minimum performance &ldquo;floor&rdquo; and maximum performance &ldquo;ceiling&rdquo;;</li> <li><u>Load electrification rate and efficiency:</u> the rate at which fossil-fired equipment is converted to electric service, and the efficiency level of the electric equipment; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li><u>Early retrofits:</u> the fraction of consumers that choose to replace existing building equipment and/or envelope components before the end of their useful lifetimes; and</li> <li><u>Power grid decarbonization:</u> the annual average CO<sub>2</sub> emissions intensity of the electricity supplied to the buildings sector across the modeled time horizon (2024&ndash;2050), resolved by grid region.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Refer to the attached &ldquo;Scenario_Guide" PDF for further scenario details and results; instructions for reproducing scenario results are available in &ldquo;Scenario_Execution&rdquo; XLSX.</p> <p>Results data are reported as an annual time series (2024&ndash;2050) at both a national and regional (<a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/nerc_map.pdf">EMM grid region</a>) spatial resolution.

Seasonal analysis comparison of three air-cooling systems in terms of thermal comfort, air quality and energy consumption for school buildings in Mediterranean climates

<p>Efficient air-cooling systems for hot climatic conditions, such as Southern Europe, are required in the context of nearly Zero Energy Buildings, nZEB. Innovative air-cooling systems such as regenerative indirect evaporative coolers, RIEC and desiccant regenerative indirect evaporative coolers, DRIEC, can be considered an interesting alternative to direct expansion air-cooling systems, DX. The main aim of the present work was to evaluate the seasonal performance of three air-cooling systems in terms of air quality, thermal comfort and energy consumption in a standard classroom. Several annual energy simulations were carried out to evaluate these indexes for four different climate zones in the Mediterranean area. The simulations were carried out with empirically validated models. The results showed that DRIEC and DX improved by 29.8% and 14.6% over RIEC regarding thermal comfort, for the warmest climatic conditions, Lampedusa and Seville. However, DX showed an energy consumption three and four times higher than DRIEC for these climatic conditions, respectively. RIEC provided the highest percentage of hours with favorable indoor air quality for all climate zones, between 46.3% and 67.5%. Therefore, the air-cooling systems DRIEC and RIEC have a significant potential to reduce energy consumption, achieving the user&rsquo;s thermal comfort and improving indoor air quality.</p>

BRAIN Journal-An Energy-Saving Concept of the Smart Building Power Grid with Separated Lines for Standby Devices-Figure 1. The whole-building switch concept for the power lines of standby devices

<p>68 million houses in North America and Europe will be smart by 2019 (Kurkinen, 2016) with a compound annual growth rate of 37 % and 61 %, respectively. The smart equipment is usually installed together with an upgrade (e.g. aluminum wires are replaced by copper ones) of the power grid. In this case, additional power lines for standby devices are cabled, and the WBS concept is applied using one power switch only (see figure 1). For instance, the Songle high-power relay T90&nbsp;&nbsp;can control the whole building electricity with load up to 30 A using NodeMcu Lua ESP8266 WiFi and/or Arduino Uno / Mega boards.</p>

BRAIN Journal-An Energy-Saving Concept of the Smart Building Power Grid with Separated Lines for Standby Devices-Figure 3. The unified hardware unit based on NodeMcu Lua ESP8266 WiFi development board, ACS712T ELC-30A current sensor, and relay SRD-05VDC-SL-C

<p>The software consists of two parts, low-level Arduino sketches and high-level C# Windows form appplication. They are connected using the open-source message MQTT broker Mosquitto.11 Every hardware unit has the unique identifier and commands to control the relay. The MQTT topic &ldquo;/VPP/Relays&rdquo; is used by subscribers and publishers. The number &ldquo;50&rdquo; sent from C# Windows form (it equals number &ldquo;2&rdquo; sent from the standard Mosquitto publisher) is a command to switch on the second relay, &ldquo;51&rdquo; (&ldquo;3&rdquo;) &ndash; to switch off, respectively. The prototype was developed with one root controller and two descendant relays. The commands are as follows: &ldquo;52&rdquo; (&ldquo;4&rdquo;) / &ldquo;53&rdquo; (&ldquo;5&rdquo;) &ndash; to switch on / off the first relay, &ldquo;54&rdquo; (&ldquo;6&rdquo;) / &ldquo;55&rdquo; (&ldquo;7&rdquo;) &ndash; to switch on / off the third relay, respectively. This solution is similar to the one presented in [22], but ACS712T ELC-30A current sensor and ESP8266WiFi.h library are applied here. In addition, other commands, e.g. &ldquo;56&rdquo; (&ldquo;8&rdquo;) to get the value of the current in the 3rd segment, are in use as well.</p>

Hourly U.S. Building Electricity Use, Cost, and Emissions Baselines to Support Time-Sensitive Analyses of Energy Efficiency and Flexibility Measures

<p>These data underpin an analysis of the time-sensitive impacts of energy efficiency and flexibility measures in the U.S. building sector using Scout (<a href="https://scout.energy.gov">scout.energy.gov</a>), a reproducible and granular model of U.S. building energy use&nbsp;developed by the U.S. national labs for the U.S. Department of Energy&#39;s Building Technologies Office.</p> <p>The analysis applies sub-annual adjustments to U.S. baseline building energy use, cost, and emissions in order to characterize how these metrics vary across hour of the day, season, and geographic region in the U.S. building sector. These adjustments are based on daily energy load, price, and emissions shapes from various data sources and are used to re-apportion baseline energy, cost, and emissions totals from <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/data/browser/%20/%20%7b%20/%20# \ }/?id=2-AEO2018 \ { \ &amp; \ }cases=r ef2018 \ { \ &amp; \ }sourcekey=0">EIA&#39;s Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) Reference Case projections</a> across all hours of a year. The resulting sub-annual baselines are specified by building sector, end use, region, and season and can be used in analyses of building efficiency and flexibility measures to quantify their time-sensitive impacts at the national scale. Analyses of these data demonstrate that energy efficiency measures continue to show strong value under a time-sensitive framework while the value of flexibility depends on assumed electricity rates, measure magnitude and duration, and the amount of savings already captured by efficiency.</p> <p>The data uploaded below include CSV files that show hourly energy use, cost, and emissions totals for the U.S. building sector as well as by end-use, region, and season. An additional CSV includes residential and commercial price intensities (USD/quad) for all hours of the day based on different time-of-use (TOU) rate data from the U.S. Utility Rate Database (URDB). Further detail on each of these CSVs is given below:</p> <ul> <li>&#39;TSV_baseline_totals.csv&#39;: this file shows hourly total energy, cost, and emissions estimates for commercial and residential buildings in 2018 and 2030.

For the cost totals, it presents two estimates for each year and building sector, including one using the median TOU rate from the URDB and one using the average retail rate for the corresponding building sector. For converting source energy to site, total delivered electricity and electricity-related losses data for the residential and commercial sector are drawn from <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/data/browser/#/?id=2-AEO2018&amp;sourcekey=0">AEO Summary Table A2</a>.</li> <li>&#39;TSV_baseline_end-use.csv&#39;: this file shows hourly energy, cost, and emissions estimates for commercial and residential buildings in 2018 and 2030 broken out by building end-use. It presents totals in terms of both source and site energy as above and presents cost totals based on the median TOU rate for each building sector from the URDB.</li> <li>&#39;TSV_baseline_region.csv&#39;: this file shows hourly energy, cost, and emissions estimates for commercial and residential space heating and cooling end uses in 2018 and 2030 for each <a href="https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/maps.php">American Institute of Architects (AIA) climate zone</a>. It presents totals in terms of both source and site energy as above and presents cost totals based on the median TOU rate for each building sector from the URDB.</li> <li>&#39;TSV_baseline_region_season.csv&#39;: this file shows a similar disaggregation of the data as &lsquo;TSV_baseline_region.csv&rsquo;, but it further disaggregates results by season. The seasonal definitions are as follows: &#39;intermediate&#39; (October to November; March to April), &#39;winter&#39; (November to February), and &#39;summer&#39; (May to September).</li> <li>&#39;TSV_annual_price_intensities.csv&#39;: this file presents annual hourly price intensities for the commercial and residential building sectors in 2018 and 2030 based on different TOU rate data from the URDB. Three different rate structures are included for each building sector, and these are the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile of all existing commercial and residential TOU rates in the URDB in terms of their peak to off-peak price ratio.</li> </ul>

Brazil - Future weather files for building energy simulation

<p>This dataset contains future weather files for energy simulation of buildings of the state capitals of Brazil plus the Federal District. The weather data is provided in EPW format, commonly used in <a href="https://energyplus.net/">EnergyPlus inputs</a>. The periods of 2010, 2050, and 2090 are considered for generating the Typical Meteorological Years (TMY) for each location. Additionally, different climate model projections were used to enable an analysis of uncertainties in the simulation results. <strong>In this updated version, we have included the complete individual years used to develop the TMYs. This data is provided in CSV format and has been bias-corrected.</strong></p> <p>The future climate data was derived from various regional climate model projections from the <a href="https://cordex.org/">Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) project</a>. These projections are part of the CORDEX-CORE experiment, which includes three GCMs (HadGEM2, MPI-ESM, and NorESM1) as driving models, and two nested RCMs (regcm and remo) for dynamical downscaling, totaling an ensemble of six members at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km. The <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-011-0148-z">representative concentration pathways </a>RCP 8.5 and RCP 2.6 were the available scenarios for the region, and both were considered for developing the weather files. The future climatic variable values were interpolated and formatted to an hourly resolution, commonly used in building energy simulation tools. Subsequently, different bias correction methods were applied to specific climate variables based on historical weather series. These data series consist of hourly data measured at weather stations located in each city between the years 2001 and 2021. The historical series files were made available by Dru Crawley and Linda Lawrie and served as the basis for developing the TMYx weather files available on the <a href="https://climate.onebuilding.org/">OneClimate Building website</a>.</p> <p>It is crucial to recognize that the historical data is based on measurements taken at airports, which are often situated far from urban centers. As a result, urban overheating was not factored into these developed weather files. It is also important to note that the developed weather files represent a typical meteorological year for each period, and do not include the most extreme periods, such as heatwaves and atypical summers.</p> <p>The weather files were developed specifically for use with the EnergyPlus engine. Therefore, climatic variables not used by the engine (e.g., precipitation and ceiling height), even if available in EPW format, should not be considered for other studies.</p> <p>It is important to emphasize the higher internal operative temperature results obtained when using the REGCM model compared to the REMO model in Building Energy Simulations. <strong>Caution is recommended when using files developed using a single combination of climate models, especially with weather files based on the REGCM model.</strong></p> <p><strong>Suggestions for corrections can be sent to&nbsp;matheus.bracht@posgrad.ufsc.br</strong></p>
