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 ...
Surface-Active Nanoplate for Oil Recovery
(2020-03-23)
Janus colloidal surfactants with opposing wettability on two structural parts are receiving attention for their intriguing structural and practical application in various industries. Combining the advantages of molecular ...
The Effects of Advice-Giving and Advice-Taking on Safety Behavior: A Social Network Perspective
(2020-04-16)
Previous research suggests that safety behavior is an important antecedent of workplace safety that can be influenced by coworkers within the employee’s network. Drawing on the social network perspective, both advice 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 ...
