Research / Research News / BUiD’s academic staff and alumna co-author a research paper on Sustainable HVAC modelling
Dr Basem Tuqan, Assistant Professor at the faculty of Engineering and IT, and Dr Muna Salameh, BUiD’s alumna, co-authored a research paper titled, ‘Mathematical modelling describing the performance of open loop multivariable vapor compression chiller model: implications for sustainable HVAC in social housing development’ in the Frontiers in Built Environment Journal.
Their study introduces a simplified multi-variable state-space model of a vapour compression chiller system, focusing on key components such as the condenser and evaporator. The research presents a foundational mathematical model for developing advanced feedback control strategies that can enhance system stability, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainable HVAC operations while maintaining thermal comfort. These advancements are especially relevant for social housing, where energy-efficient HVAC systems are essential for achieving sustainable and resilient building practices in extreme climate conditions.
