PI Parameter Influence on Underfloor Heating Energy Consumption and Setpoint Tracking in nZEBs
Energies, 2020 In rooms with underfloor heating (UFH), local on–off controllers most often regulate the air temperature with poor accuracy and energy penalties. It is known that proportional–integral (PI) controllers can regulate most processes more precisely. However,

Response-surface-model-based system sizing for nearly/net zero energy buildings under uncertainty [PDF]
, 2018 Properly treating uncertainty is critical for robust system sizing of nearly/net zero energy buildings (ZEBs). To treat uncertainty, the conventional method conducts Monte Carlo simulations for thousands of possible design options, which inevitably leads
