Performance comparison between KNN and NSGA-II algorithms as calibration approaches for building simulation models (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Basurra, S., & Jankovic, L. (2016). Performance comparison between KNN and NSGA-II algorithms as calibration approaches for building simulation models. In Proceedings of the 3rd IBPSA-England Conference BSO 2016 (289-296)

In this paper, a study of calibration methods for a thermal performance model of a building is presented. Two calibration approaches are evaluated and compared in terms of accuracy and computation speed. These approaches are the 𝑘 Nearest Neighbour (...

Taking a Passivhaus certified retrofit system onto scaled-up zero carbon trajectory (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Jankovic, L., & Basurra, S. (2016). Taking a Passivhaus certified retrofit system onto scaled-up zero carbon trajectory. In Proceedings of Zero Carbon Buildings Today and in the Future 2016

The paper describes collaboration a between industryand academia in enhancing a Passivhaus certifiedsystem for retrofit and putting it onto a zero carbontrajectory. The system was initially developed for onsite stick construction, using fixed insulat... Read More about Taking a Passivhaus certified retrofit system onto scaled-up zero carbon trajectory.

Reducing simulation performance gap in hemp-lime buildings using fourier filtering (2016)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2016). Reducing simulation performance gap in hemp-lime buildings using fourier filtering. Sustainability, 8(9), Article 864. https://doi.org/10.3390/su8090864

Mainstream dynamic simulation tools used by designers do not have a built-in capability to accurately simulate the effect of hemp-lime on building temperature and relative humidity. Due to the specific structure of hemp-lime, heat travels via a maze... Read More about Reducing simulation performance gap in hemp-lime buildings using fourier filtering.
