Building Energy Monitoring and Simulation
The BEMS team studies the energy performance of buildings by using monitoring and digital simulation as well as laboratory tests.
2 research areas
Rational use and management of energy in buildings
- Study of low temperature heating systems or high temperature cooling systems
- Study of zero-energy houses
- Development of in situ verification procedures of building performance which take into account the influence of occupants behaviour
- Participation of building thermal systems in the management of smart grids
- Simulation of buildings and their air conditioning systems
Use and development of renewable energy sources in buildings
- Storage of solar thermal energy
- Study of micro-cogeneration (biomass) solutions
- Optimisation and management of solar heat storage systems using a thermo-chemical process
- Management of micro-cogeneration installations, particularly in the context of smart grids
