A qualitative assessment of integrated active cooling systems: A review with a focus on system flexibility and climate resilience

Overheating analysis of optimized nearly Zero-Energy dwelling during current and future heatwaves coincided with cooling system outage

“…In addition, a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery operates to provide a minimum fresh air of 25 m3/h during the occupied hours according to the Belgian norm NBN D50-001. Based on the findings of [64,65], this paper replaces the gas-fired boiler with a reversible air-to-water heat pump to provide heating and cooling along with natural ventilation (mixed-mode). The set-point temperatures for heating and cooling modes and the minimum and maximum indoor temperatures for natural ventilation are listed in Table 3.…”

Framework to assess climate change impact on heating and cooling energy demands in building stock: A case study of Belgium in 2050 and 2100

“…The energy demand for HVAC systems increases significantly as a result of this temperature rise. Warmer temperatures increase the demand for air conditioning [3], while more frequent heat waves increase the demand for cooling. On the other hand, declining temperature levels, particularly in winter, reduce the demand for heating.…”
