conditions of Bucharest city, Romania, and therefore a numerical model was developed for this purpose. The scheme and the thermodynamic cycle, the energy and mass balance equations, and the computational algorithm were presented. The results show that the cycle temperature increases at the end of desorption when the heating power supplied to the desorber is increased, which is also proportional to the drop in temperature at the beginning of the desorption.

Building Systems and Components

Since the 21st century, problems such as global warming and energy depletion have become important issues for scientists and architects (Chiu et al. 2018). A significant part of global carbon emissions is due to the high consumption of fossil fuels for buildings (Lizana et al. 2018), which are responsible for 40% of global energy use and contribute towards 30% of the total CO2 emissions (Ahmad et al. 2016). Buildings consume more than one-third of the world’s primary energy (Hong et al. 2018) and play an important role as energy consumers from fossil fuels with considerable impact on the outdoor environment (Papadopoulos and Kontokosta 2019). The drive to reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions from buildings has acted as a catalyst in the development of advanced computational methods for energyefficient design, management, and control of buildings and systems. Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems

are the major sources of energy consumption in buildings and ideal candidates for substantia
