New insights into thermal comfort sufficiency in dwellings

open access: yesBuildings & Cities
Domestic heating is a major contributor to energy consumption and must be minimised to achieve climate targets. Building on the concept of addressing the distinct heating needs of individuals and buildings separately, the Slowheat project implemented a ...

Demand Response Control of Space Heating in Three Different Building Types in Finland and Germany

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Demand response has been noted as a major element of future smart energy systems. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the demand response actions in different conditions—including climate, dynamic energy price, and building types.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Leveraging TRNSYS simulations of a single family house in Spain for renewable energy integration

open access: yesGreen Energy and Sustainability
A dynamic model was developed in TRNSYS® software package to simulate the thermal behavior of a single family house in Spain during a year. The model takes into consideration the characteristics of the building (orientation, insulation, thermal zones ...

Green hypocrisy?: Environmental attitudes and residential space heating expenditure

open access: yes, 2014
Popular media make claims of a green hypocrisy: groups, which have the strongest attitude towards the environment, also have the highest emissions. This study examines whether environmental behaviours, beliefs and attitudes are associated with space ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Exploring diverse drivers behind hybrid heating solutions

open access: yesBuildings & Cities
How do individuals reflect on and relate to hybrid heating arrangements and the ‘stacking’ of heating modes in their home? Drawing on a set of oral histories (n = 110) collected in Finland, inhabitants’ long-standing engagement with versatile heating ...

Quantifying benefits of energy efficient house design through monitoring of specified air quality and household energy activity

open access: yesJournal of Energy in Southern Africa, 2017
Energy efficient building design aims to use passive design principles such as orientation, insulation, materials and surrounding area layout to minimise the need for active space heating or cooling.

Field Test on Performance of an Air Source Heat Pump System Using Novel Gravity-Driven Radiators as Indoor Heating Terminal

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
The simultaneous need for energy efficiency and indoor comfort may not be met by existing air source heat pump (ASHP) technology. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a new gravity-driven radiator as the indoor heating terminal of ASHPs, aiming ...
