I am happy to share that our journal paper titled "Design of a model predictive control methodology for integration of retrofitted air‐based PV/T system in school buildings" has been published in the "Journal of Building Performance Simulation". This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) methodology for integrating air-based photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems in school buildings. The methodology is developed based on a case study for an archetype fully electric school building in Québec, Canada. A data‐driven grey‐box model for the classrooms is calibrated with measured data, and a PV/T model is developed. These models are integrated to apply MPC to the school building using the established dynamic tariffs for morning and evening peaks. Three scenarios are investigated and compared: (1) A reference case without a PV or PV/T system, (2) Integration of a PV system and MPC, and (3) Integration of a PV/T system and MPC under a demand response scenario. Results show that using the MPC with PV/T integration can reduce peak demand by up to 100% during high-demand periods for the grid. This methodology is scalable and can be transferable to other institutional buildings. I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Andreas Athienitis from Concordia University and Dr. José Agustín Candanedo from Université de Sherbrooke, for their guidance and support. Technical support from Hydro Québec Laboratoire des Technologies de l’energie Shawinigan research center under NSERC/Hydro-Quebec Industrial Research Chair is gratefully acknowledged. Also, technical support provided by Regulvar Inc. and Centre de services scolaire des Mille-Îles (CSSMI) is acknowledged with thanks. I also would like to acknowledge the financial support received from Fonds de recherche du Québec - Nature et Technologies (FRQNT).

THE CONVERSATION (UK) UK homeowners are reluctant to switch to low-carbon heating – our research points to how to change their minds September 27, 2024 Our study shows that a shift to sustainable heating technologies will require more than providing financial and legal incentives. It needs a demystification of the technologies, and a strong public awareness campaign to not only highlight the environmental benefits of sustainable heating but also prove this choice is affordable and realistic for ordinary households. In addition to financial support, such as the £7,500 government subsidy for the uptake of heat pumps, it’s crucial to optimise running costs by keeping electricity prices lower than gas prices. Existing policies prioritise changes in owner-occupied properties. Landlords, both social and private, need incentives to choose sustainable heating technologies. As well as more focus on heating solutions for rented properties, our research suggests that barriers such as perceived complexity and costs must be dealt with to speed up the UK’s transition to green energy.

Energy is not just energy. It’s a way of life, a political economy, a constitutional architecture. To design energy futures, therefore, is to redesign society. How can we integrate this insight into energy planning and decision-making? In just two weeks, CIET will be hosting the first webinar in our upcoming series, with Dr Clark Miller dialling in all the way from Arizona State University in the US! In this talk, Clark will reflect on a series of participant observations, experimental interventions, and imaginative exercises in the redesign of Arizona #EnergySystems that shed light on the critical importance of design choices in the global #decarbonisation of energy systems. Opening up design choices in energy futures to critical review and assessment, understanding their full social, environmental, and technological implications, and democratising decision-making about them is key to leveraging the opportunities of decarbonisation to not only clean our energy systems but also advance human progress. What kind of future are we making as we remake energy? 📍 Online via MS Teams 📅 Tuesday 5 March ⏰ 9:00 am - 10:00 am (AWST) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g-4y3wQW Peta Ashworth OAM #EnergyFutures #EnergyDesign #Webinar

WAVE are delighted and very, very proud to share that our Technical Consultant, Christopher Parker has been shortlisted for the prestigious Kenneth Lightfoot Medal. This esteemed award is presented annually at the IOR Dinner to the individual or team who has presented the best paper to the IOR during the previous papers session of the year. The winner will be announced at the 124th IOR Annual Dinner which takes place on the 27th of February 2025. In his paper, The Challenges of Heat Pumps for Domestic Heating_Revised.pdf (ior.org.uk) Chris summarised the results of his in-depth investigation and modeling of the cost, energy supply, and carbon emission consequences of electrifying domestic heating using electric heat pumps to meet the UK’s 2050 net zero target. Key highlights from his research included: A critical component of the government’s strategy for transitioning to heat pumps would be the thermal insulation upgrade of legacy housing to meet current standards. The modeling predicted a total cost of £306 billion to switch domestic heating to electric heat pumps by 2050. Meaning this transition would require approximately a 2.4x increase in electricity generation capacity and significant deployment of carbon capture storage at power stations to avoid an increase in UK carbon emissions. The major challenge his research showed for the industry is the sheer number of domestic heat pump installations needed to meet the 2050 target. Forecasting a rapid ramp-up in annual installation numbers, reaching around 1 million by 2030 and approximately 2 million per year by the mid-2030s. We wish Chris the best of luck as the IOR members cast their votes! #WAVErefrigeration #AdvancedTheoreticaCalculator #Decarbonisation #Independentconsultant #Engineering #HVAC #design #solutions #feasibility #mechanical #netzero #Environmental #Sustainability #heatpump #NetZero2050 #heating #heatingandcooling #refrigeration #RACHP #HVACR #coolingandheating #mechanicalengineering #IOR #KennethLighfootMedal #awards #IOR124thAnnualDinner
