Analysis of Residential Building Energy Code Compliance for New and Existing Buildings Based on Building Energy
(2020-12)
Currently, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is the most widely-used residential building energy code in the United States. Either the IECC or IECC with amendments has been adopted by 33 states. The latest ...
A study of occupancy-based smart building controls in commercial buildings
(2020-12)
Occupant behavior has a significant influence on energy consumption in buildings because HVAC, lighting, equipment, and ventilation operations are often tied to occupancy- based controls. However, currently, the traditional ...
An Improved Method for the Estimation of the Energy Consumption and Savings of Code-Compliant office Buildings in Different Climates
(2020-12)
Degree day methods are used in the estimation of building energy consumption and climate classification for buildings (e.g. in ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, which is adopted in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016). This study, first ...
Analysis of Support Vector Machine Regression for Building Energy Use Prediction
(2020-08)
There are many inverse modeling methods to model the whole building energy use. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and change-point liner regression (CPLR) have been some of the most common methods due to their direct ...
Development of a Prototype for Integrating Building Information Model (BIM) with Daylighting Simulation Tools for Designing High-Performance Buildings
(2020-09-13)
The outcome of this study is the development of a prototype REVIT2RADIANCE add-in program for a Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tool Autodesk Revit to perform daylighting studies with ease by architects and ...
An Expanded and Updated Framework for Whole-Facility Energy Consumption Statistical Models of Commercial Buildings
(2022-11-09)
A significant portion of energy consumption occurs in buildings today. Accurate and easy-to-implement methods are needed to calculate building energy consumption for a wide range of applications, including efficiency ...
