Comparative energy and exergy performance assessments of a microcogenerator unit in different electricity mix scenarios
Pedro F. C. Goncalves,Giovanni Angrisani,Carlo Roselli,Adélio Rodrigues Gaspar,Manuel Gameiro da Silva +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and discuss the usefulness of a set of complementary indicators for performance assessments of cogeneration systems, concerning thermodynamic principles based on first and second law (the exergy approach).

Simulation of Occupancy and CO2-based Demand-controlled Mechanical Ventilation Strategies in an Office Room Using EnergyPlus
TL;DR: In this paper, four demand-controlled ventilation strategies based on occupancy schedule period, occupancy level and indoor concentration of CO 2 in an office room have been studied and the results showed the best suited ventilation strategies for the office room that can provide acceptable level of indoor air quality with the least energy use.

An experimental analysis of the correction factors adopted on environmental noise measurements performed with window-mounted microphones
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the front microphone mounting condition on the L d descriptor is examined, for a case where the dominant noise source is a road traffic, and the results show that, when the microphone is mounted directly on the window, the difference relative to measurements obtained in free field conditions varies between 4.0 dB and 4.4 dB.

Assessing the influence of the sampling strategy on the uncertainty of environmental noise measurements through the bootstrap method
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the sampling parameters on the uncertainty of the equivalent continuous noise level in environmental noise measurements is investigated, and the authors assess the possibility to define, as much as possible, a general methodology which enables the definition of the parameters once the precision level is defined.
