Multi-Objective Optimization of a Building's Embodied Energy, Operational Energy, and Embodied Water (2022-05-03)Buildings account for approximately 40% of annual energy consumption and 16% of annual water withdrawals globally over their life cycle. Moreover, most building designs consider only the operational energy use of buildings ...
-
(2018-05-07)The general proliferation of technology including smartphones and sensors present both an opportunity and a challenge for the construction industry. On the one hand, it creates an opportunity for improved efficiency via ...
-
(2016-08-30)The aim of this research is to introduce the notion of parametric optimization (PO) as a useful approach for solving systems design challenges. In this research, we define PO as the process of finding the optimal solution ...
-
(2013-10-03)Sensor arrays strategically deployed on various offshore structures may provide valuable information in addressing issues related to the complex dynamic response behavior due to varying environments, changing hydrodynamics ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Synthetically generated terrain models are useful across a broad range of applications, including computer generated art & animation, virtual reality and gaming, and architecture. Existing algorithms for terrain generation ...
