Optimal Balance Between Energy Demand And On-Site Generation for Robust Net Zero Energy Buildings Considering Future Scenarios

Simulation-based Comparison of Robustness Assessment Methods to Identify Robust Low-energy Building Designs

“…A semi-detached terraced house, a typical Dutch residential house (RVO, 2015), is chosen as the case study building. It is a three-storey building and layout of the building is same as (Kotireddy et al, 2015), which is divided into three thermal zones, in TRNSYS, to calculate the temperature and energy demand of each zone. The living room and kitchen on the ground floor form the first zone, three bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor constitute the second zone, and the attic on the second floor is the third zone.…”

“…In general, the decision maker (DM) has little or no information about the probabilities of occurrence of these uncertainties and thus hard to quantify associated risk in decision-making. Therefore, scenarios are essential to assess the future performance and performance robustness of buildings (Hopfe et al, 2013) and to determine both conservative and extreme approaches in decision-making (Kotireddy et al, 2015).…”
