Simulation case study of stack pressure impact on thermal load in high-rise buildings [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The reference building models in the EnergyPlus tool do not consider the stack effect. This is not an issue for small and low-rise buildings. However, this is significant in evaluating the heating and cooling load of high-rise buildings.

Occupant-oriented mixed-mode EnergyPlus predictive control simulation [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 2016 Model predictive control (MPC) has been studied in the building science realm for about three decades. However, the following two aspects of the building control have not been studied thoroughly in MPC research. One is the impact of the mixed-mode cooling system on the active heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption, and the ...

Sensitivity analysis of medical centers energy consumption with EnergyPlus [PDF]
2017 22nd IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2017 Sensitivity analysis plays a vital role in building energy analysis. It is done to clarify which are the crucial variables affecting building thermal performance and to evaluate quantitatively those effects. It can be conducted both through energy simulation models and real case observations.
