Main study areas and research topics
The laboratory implemented a web site provided with simulation tools for dynamic simulation
(http://sisal.provincedeliege.be/). Building Dynamic Simulation tools were used in order to assess the flexibility of different
building types equipped with heat pumps, in the Belgian context (concrete structure, radiators or heating floor). Different
regulation strategies were tested including intermittent heating, continuous heating, variable set point. Those strategies
were ranked as function of their potential of flexibility for smart grids, as well as over consumptions associated to storage.
Last Research Project
Calibration of building simulation models and identification of building parameters based on in situ measurements.
Industrial application fields
Heating system control for Smart grids.
Services proposal
Building dynamic simulation, HVAC System sizing
