Didier, Richard C. | Linking microclimate and energy use with a low cost wall mounted measurement system | Urban microclimate plays a critical role in overall urban energy demand and efficiency. At the building scale, energy use and internal conditions are directly impacted by local microclimate. The direct link between building energy use and local microclimate is through building envelope heat fluxes. ... | Microclimate; Energy; Temperature; Humidity; Arduino; EnergyPlus | 2016-06 |
