Time-resolved, occupancy-dependent electricity load profiles at building level for city quarters or entire cities are important for planning authorities, project developers, utilities or other stakeholders in order to develop energy saving strategies and meet climate targets. Firstly, this...

Bipolar plates (BPs) are one of the most important components in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) due to the numerous functions they perform. The objective of the research work described in this paper was to develop a simplified and validated method based on Computational Fluid...

In Portugal, there is a critical need for architects to incorporate energy-conscious strategies on the process of refurbishment design. Passive design technology is still widely unknown or misused by Architects, to a large extent because information on these issues is scarce, mostly referring to...

This paper deals with the modular hierarchical modelling and simulation possibilities of the simulation language SIMCOS. After a brief description of the modular modelling possibilities of modern modelling and simulation tools, the emphasis is put on the concept of precompiled dynamic submodels...
