Zoning and occupancy-moderation for residential space-conditioning under demand-driven electricity pricing
Occupancy-moderated zonal space-conditioning (OZS) refers to the partitioning of a residence into different zones and independently operating the space-conditioning equipment of each zone based on its occupancy. OZS remains largely unexplored in spite of its potential to reduce the cost of …

Generative Urbanism toward Thermal Synergy: Sustainable urban design for district heating and cooling
… passive techniques, a closer observation of the space conditioning mechanism and the nature of thermal energy may produce systematic improvement in energy efficiency while maintaining the comfort level. Specifically, the synergy between heating and cooling needs in the urban environment provides …
