Beyond foundational knowledge, the book presents practical integration of latent heat storage within building envelopes, solar photovoltaics, and heating/cooling systems, supported by mathematical modeling and performance analysis. It examines thermal management strategies for sustainable construction, introduces artificial intelligence-powered tools for system simulation and optimization, and discusses demand-side management control.
Yuekuan Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Energy and Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), China. His research aims at achieving smart zero-energy and zero-carbon district energy systems for carbon neutrality and climate change mitigation, via cleaner power production, energy-efficient system design and operation, innovation in smart energy integration, multi-objective optimization on nonlinear dynamic behaviours with artificial intelligence. Asst. Prof. Zhou has published more than 80 papers on these topics in international, peer-reviewed journals. His current research interests include latent thermal storage, electrochemical battery, hydrogen and pumped hydro storages in zero-energy buildings, life-cycle carbon-neutral buildings, peer-to-peer energy trading and inter-city energy migration energy network with a hydrogen economy. Dr. Liu currently works as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Delft University of Technology. He is also the Assistant Dean of the Institute for Sustainable Urbanization and Construction Innovation at Hunan University. In 2019, he obtained a joint PhD from Hunan University (China) and the University of Lyon-ENTPE (France). In 2022, he won the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships and was honored with a Vebleo Fellowship, which recognizes researchers or scientists who have prominence and leadership in the field of science, engineering, and technology. His research interests include energy storage, zero-carbon buildings, district heating/cooling, energy system modeling, low-carbon energy transition, green construction and management. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Housing and the Built Environment (Springer) and the Editor of the International Journal of Architectural Engineering Technology (Avanti Publishers). Dr. Zheng is a full-time post-doc researcher at City University of Hong Kong. Her areas of expertise include green sustainability, district energy systems, energy storage, energy sharing and trading, ESG. Prof. Zhang was the national candidate of the New Century Talents project, an innovative promotion plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. His areas of expertise include indoor air quality, district energy systems, and high-quality, sustainable construction, and his work has received recognition at a national and international level.
