Taking full advantage of the potentialities of renewable energies implies overcoming several specific challenges. Here, we address matching an intermittent energy supply with household demand through a nudging approach. Indeed, for households endowed with solar panels, aligning energy consumption with production may be challenging. Therefore, the aim of this study is to introduce two information and communication technology (ICT) nudging pipelines aimed at helping households integrated in energy communities with solar panels to improve their self-consumption rates, and to evaluate their efficiency on semi-real data. Our pipelines use information available in real-world settings for efficient management. They identify “green periods”, where households are encouraged to consume energy with incitation through nudging signals. We evaluate the efficiency of our pipelines on a simulation environment using semi-real data, based on well-known consumption datasets. Results show that they are efficient, compared to an optimal but unrealistic pipeline with access to complete information. They also show that there is a sweet spot for production, for which nudging is most efficient, and that a few green periods are enough to obtain significant improvements.

“…The system combines the functionality of energy storage and cold production, with minimum occupation of inner building space and utilization of the facade areas rather than the often occupied roof top areas. All of this topics are identified as uptrend themes in the field of knowledge [5]. Furthermore, materials are chosen according to recyclability and ecological friendliness.…”

Reductions of carbon dioxide emissions from the building sector are mandatory for climate protection. This calls for both a reduction of the construction material and energy as well as a reduction of the operational energy. Against this background, a novel facade-integrated adsorption system for solar cooling of lightweight buildings is proposed and theoretically investigated in this work. For this purpose, a detailed simulation model is developed to analyze both the processes in the single components as well as the overall system behavior. The proposed system consists of the three components adsorber, condenser and evaporator, which are connected vacuum-tight and are coupled by vapor transfer. The simulation results of a defined reference case yield cooling rates of 54 W per installed square meter of adsorber facade. The cooling power can be maintained for 12 h, confirming the applicability of the proposed system. Furthermore, a comprehensive parametric study is carried out in order to identify an optimum set of parameter values for maximum cooling rate under the assumed conditions. The results reveal that controlled constant cooling rates of 105 W per square meter of adsorber facade can be reached and a maximum peak power of 145 W per square meter of adsorber facade is possible.

“…While many efforts are ongoing to increase the reliability of data and modelling for retrofit [5,14,15], there are few studies investigating the data-and modelling-related experiences and needs of stakeholders working in the retrofit industry, including those involved in day-to-day decision making on retrofit projects that span multiple dwellings. Furthermore, studies have explored the wider trends in energy efficiency research, such as [16]. However, they do not focus directly on issues concerning data and modelling.…”

The transition to Net Zero rests partly on the widespread adoption of energy-efficient retrofit measures for domestic dwellings. The scale of retrofit efforts is extensive, as up to 80% of the UK’s domestic housing stock for 2050 has already been built. To address the scope, data and models will play a crucial role in informing design decisions and optimising retrofit strategies. While new methods and tools for data and modelling in retrofit continue to be developed, the perspectives of professionals using these tools on their quality remain mainly absent from discussion across academia and practice. This study investigated the experiences and perceptions of data and modelling from professionals working in the planning stages of domestic retrofit, serving as a needs-finding exercise driving retrofit planning. Through semi-structured interviews and qualitative coding, the results highlight a critical trade-off between precision, confidence, and the burden of data collection. These findings underscore the need to balance precision, ease of use, and adaptability in data and modelling retrofit tools. Issues around data availability and wider access to data and modelling results across stakeholders emerged as a missed opportunity.
