Current climate change threats and increasing CO2 emissions, especially from the building stock, represent a context where action is required. It is necessary to provide efficient manners to manage energy demand in buildings and contribute to a decarbonised future. By combining new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Internet of things,...

ARX models are an effective instrument to evaluate continuous building performance from insufficient monitoring data. However, selecting the right model features is NP-hard. The problem of finding a minimal subset of informative inputs has been studied extensively in various fields but automatic, fast, and reliable procedures for finding optimal mo...

This paper highlights the potential of adapting the energy profile of conventional office buildings in Southern Europe into a profile of Balanced Energy Buildings. The proposed energy adaptation does not only aim to satisfy the electricity consumption on an overall annual basis using intermittent renewable energy sources (RES), but seeks for a bett...

This study focuses on the application of system identification to estimate the flow rate and the heating consumption in a central heating system in an office building in San Michele all' Adige, Italy. The study was done within the European ICT PSP project Smart Build with the aim to reduce the energy consumption of existing public buildings through...
