Project
Validation and application of the energy simulation of buildings to the study of control strategies
A comparison between the simulation results and the measurements will supplement the previous work concerning the validation of the thermo-aeraulic model, which will then be applied to the study of predictive control

Robust multi-criterion optimisation of zero-energy buildings
The eco-design of zero-energy buildings involves the identification of optimal solutions, in reasonable calculation times, resulting from the analysis of several performance criteria, more influential parameters and
