Description

The main contributions of Annex 31 lie on addressing the existing hindrance in developing simplified models, optimization tools and performance evaluation criteria related to energy efficient buildings/districts with energy storage. The results disseminated by this publication in terms of given examples in each domain (application of energy storage in buildings/districts, optimization techniques, etc.) and the ideology of representing KPIs for evaluating the effectiveness of energy storage in buildings and districts will benefit researchers in identifying and reducing the existing research gaps in designing, modeling and optimizing energy efficient buildings and districts with energy storage systems.
