For the first time, an advanced exergy analysis using dynamic conditions is applied to a building energy system. DAEA provides insights on the components\u2019 exergy destruction (ED) by distinguishing the inefficiencies that can be prevented by improving the quality (avoidable ED) and the ones constrained because of technical limitations (unavoidable ED). ED is related to the inherent inefficiencies of the considered element (endogenous ED) and those coming from the interconnections (exogenous ED). That information cannot be obtained by any other approach. A dynamic calculation within the experimental facility has been performed after a component characterization driven by a new grey-box modelling technique, through TRNSYS and MATLAB. Novel solutions and terms of ED are assessed for the rational implementation of the DAEA in building energy installations. The influence of each component and their interconnections are valuated in terms of exergy destruction for further diagnosis and optimization purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22010032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,25]],"date-time":"2019-12-25T11:07:48Z","timestamp":1577272068000},"page":"32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Advanced Exergy Analysis in the Dynamic Framework for Assessing Building Thermal Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1889-3586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Picallo-Perez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Energy in Buildings (ENEDI), Department of Thermal Engineering, University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU), 48013 Bilbao, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 M","family":"Sala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Energy in Buildings (ENEDI), Department of Thermal Engineering, University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU), 48013 Bilbao, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9633-2960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George","family":"Tsatsaronis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Energy Engineering, Technische Universit\u00e4t Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2917-9043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saeed","family":"Sayadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Energy Engineering, Technische Universit\u00e4t Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resconrec.2016.03.014","article-title":"A cross-country comparison of the building energy consumptions and their trends","volume":"123","author":"Berardi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Resour.
