“…To date, the lack of practicable methodologies for realistically assessing energy flexibility of individual buildings [24] coupled with the inadequacy of current characterisation methodologies (due to the different interpretations, and requirements associated with an energy flexible building) [25] impedes the accurate assessment of their DR potential. Although both commercial and residential buildings have been recognised as suitable candidates for providing flexibility to the grid [26], most studies have mostly focused on commercial buildings [27].…”

“…The research in [29] introduced an energy flexibility quantification framework applicable to various energy systems commonly found in office buildings (i.e., lights, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems). In [30], a methodology to assess the energy flexibility of residential buildings equipped with heat pumps, renewables, thermal and electrical storage systems was presented. Authors in [31] reviewed the relevant literature at the time and compared the robustness and applicability of different energy flexibility indicators in literature, and similar work was also done in literature [32].…”

Buildings' achievable energy flexibility refers to the real load reduction amount in an incentive-based demand response (DR) event, which presents dynamic, subjective, and uncertain characteristics. It is different from the buildings' theoretical energy flexibility, which refers to its physical load reduction potential during a certain time period and is static and certain. The former serves as a foundation in a DR aggregator's market transaction strategy formulation process and thereby calls on the necessity of its accurate forecasting. However, most of the existing literature focuses on the latter one, which is not necessarily equal to the real achievable flexibility. Therefore, to help DR aggregators bid accurately in the ancillary service market, this paper proposes an achievable energy flexibility forecasting method for a building equipped with an integrated energy management system based on the decision tree model. The impact of gas-fired equipment on buildings' achievable-energy-flexibility is also taken into account in the proposed method. The case study indicates that the proposed method exhibits promising performance in forecasting the achievable energy flexibility of a building.

“…With online learning (Alghamdi et al, 2020), students can use the learning materials anywhere and anytime, which allows for flexibility (Bampoulas et al, 2021) and independence in learning. In addition, technology provides opportunities for students from geographical locations (Cartone & Postiglione, 2021) to collaborate and interact, enabling the global exchange of ideas and information.…”

Technology-based education has developed rapidly in recent years. The use of technology in learning environments provides an excellent opportunity to increase student engagement, enhance their learning experience and prepare them for the demands of an ever-changing digital world. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of technology-based learning to increase student engagement. First, this article presents various technology tools and platforms that can be used for learning. In an age dominated by digital devices, there are many tools and apps that can help create engaging and interactive learning experiences. For example, smartphone apps, interactive learning software and online learning platforms can be used to create rich content, realistic simulations and better student collaboration. In addition, this article examines the importance of paying attention to the diversity of student learning styles in a technology-enabled curriculum. Every student has unique learning preferences, and technology is enabling teachers to create learning experiences tailored to individual learning styles. For example, instructional videos, interactive simulations, and online discussions can be used for a variety of student learning needs. In addition, this article highlights the importance of involving students in making decisions about technology-based learning. By giving students the opportunity to actively participate in determining content, methods and learning objectives, they feel more involved and responsible for their learning. Through active participation, students can develop the critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills needed in a changing society. Lastly, this article emphasizes the importance of continuous assessment and progress in technology-based learning. To ensure the effective use of technology, it is necessary to continuously assess its impact on student learning. In addition, continuous efforts must be made to further develop and update the technology used in learning so that it can continue to meet the growing needs and demands of learning. In short it can be said that the use of technology in teaching offers excellent opportunities to increase students' willingness to learn. Through the use of different technology tools and platforms, accommodating the diversity of student learning styles, involving students in decision-making, and continuous evaluation and progress, the potential of technology-based learning can be optimized to create more dynamic, engaging and important learning experiences for today's students.
