Detection and diagnosis of faults and energy monitoring of HVAC systems with least-intrusive power analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Faults indicate degradation or sudden failure of equipment in a system. Widely existing in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, faults always lead to inefficient energy consumption, undesirable indoor ... -
Properties and applications of double-skin building facades
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)A new era of commercial buildings is emerging in Europe, driven by innovative designs in Germany, Britain and the Netherlands. Engineers and Architects are collaborating to design a new typology of buildings that are energy ... -
Numerical solution of nonlinear algebraic systems in building energy modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)When solving a system of nonlinear equations by Newton-Raphson's method, a common means of avoiding divergence requires each step to reduce some vector norm of the residual errors, usually the convenient and tractable sum ...
