  • green buildings are Codes Standards and targets sufficient drivers of sustainability in new south wales
    Social Science Research Network, 2009
    Co-Authors: Amelia Thorpe, Kristy Graham
    Abstract:

    With the introduction of the Building and Sustainability Index (BASIX) in 2004, New South Wales became an innovator in both Australian and international efforts to improve building design and sustainability. Today, BASIX continues to be promoted as an effective measure to ensure homes are designed to operate more sustainably, and the government is expanding its Standards-based approach with the introduction of new housing Codes. The effectiveness of these tools, however, remains essentially untested. In an effort to fill this critical gap, this article reflects on BASIX, the new NSW Housing Code and other similar measures in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. It suggests that Codes, Standards and targets can be appropriate tools to drive sustainable housing, but that the current measures in New South Wales do not achieve this aim.

  • a real time energy management system for the integration of economical aspects and system operator requirements definition and validation
    Renewable Energy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ilaria Bendato, Andrea Bonfiglio, Massimo Brignone, Federico Delfino, Fabio Pampararo, Renato Procopio
    Abstract:

    The present paper proposes a real-time EMS able to manage uncertainties in the forecasting data as well as economical aspects and system operator requirements. As far as the first aspect is concerned, the procedure is cyclically repeated at each time-step after that loads and renewable productions have been adjusted by means of real-time measurements. The economic aspects are performed by solving an optimization problem that minimizes the overall production cost and, therefore, it fixes the active power set point for all the programmable units. The Distribution System Operator (DSO) requirements in terms of active/reactive power management and voltage control, as requested by the majority of grid Codes/Standards, are satisfied (if possible) by tuning the reactive power of the programmable units. The proposed EMS has been applied and validated on University of Genoa Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM) and it shows its efficacy in satisfying both the economic and power quality objectives.

  • design and operation of ventilation in low energy residences a survey on code requirements and building reality from six european countries and china
    In: Proceedings of the 38th AIVC Conference "Ventilating healthy low-energy buildings". Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC): Nottingham UK., 2017
    Co-Authors: Maria Del Carmen Bocanegrayanez, Gabriel Rojas, Daria Zukowskatejse, Esdand Urma, Guangyu Cao, Mathieu Pierre Yves Hamo, Jakub Kolarik
    Abstract:

    One of the key objectives of the IEA Annex 68 research programme entitled “Indoor Air Quality Design and Control in Low Energy Residential Buildings” is to provide a generic guideline for the design and operation of ventilation in residential buildings. They need to have minimal energy consumption, and at the same time maintain a high level of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The paper reports on preliminary results of an interview survey conducted among different stakeholders involved in design, installation and operation of residential ventilation in countries involved in the Annex. There were two main objectives, firstly to describe and analyse a transition between actual requirements (national building Codes, Standards) and current practice. For the second to investigate current barriers and challenges regarding installation of mechanical ventilation in residences. In total, 37 interviews from six European countries and China have been analysed, certainly not enough for a representative sample. However, the results provide a valuable snapshot of current practices and insights into potential barriers. Results show that mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is becoming the dominating ventilation system installed in new residences in Europe. However, there are countries, where, due to tradition, national legislation and/or cost reasons, other types of ventilation like mechanical exhaust or manual window ventilation are applied. Demand Controlled Ventilation is often allowed or even recommended in Standards, but rarely implemented in practice, except for humidity controlled trickle vents in France. The main barriers against mechanical ventilation with heat recovery seem to be high capital cost, space requirements and duct routing as well as problems resulting from poor construction, lack of commissioning and/or maintenance.
