A Framework to Improve the Control System Design for Integrated Residential Heating Systems in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2013
Building space heating contributes to high consumption of energy using primarily non- renewable sources. This thesis presents a research study evaluating the design and performance of an integrated heating system utilizing the renewable energy sources of geothermal energy, solar energy, and drain...

Incorporating Evapotranspiration of Plants in Thermal Modelling of Greenhouses in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2020
The energy consumption of greenhouse in cold regions, especially for the space heating, is still large and needs to be diminished either by reducing heat loss or by increasing the percentage of renewable energy usage. In order to predict the performance of different energy-saving designs, a...
