COVID-19 has touched almost all facets of modern life. As part of this global shift, many employers have recommended employees work from home in an effort to curb the spread of infection. When organizations bring workers back to the office, the specific po ...
In this work, we describe a new approach for compact and energy-efficient cooling of converters where multiple miniaturized microfluidic cold-plates are attached to transistors providing local heat extraction. The high pressure drop associated with microch ...
Occupants are active participants in their built environment, affecting its performance while simultaneously being affected by its design and indoor environmental conditions. With recent advances in computer modeling, simulation tools, and analysis techniq ...
Data are essential to urban building energy models and yet, obtaining sufficient and accurate building data at a large-scale is challenging. Previous studies have highlighted that the data impact on urban case studies has not been sufficiently discussed. T ...
Neighborhood-scale projects often commence with the conceptualization of several massing-schemes as potential design solutions. There is growing interest in using building performance simulation (BPS) to evaluate and rank such conceptual stage schemes in o ...
A transition towards smart buildings is one of the challenges of the 21st century. To achieve this goal, the use of smart sensors and smart appliances can be crucial. Although research about linking real-time monitoring and the operation mode of building a ...
In this paper, we present a post-occupancy study of 326 participants in 10 daylit office buildings in Singapore and correlate the results with climate-based daylighting metrics and electric lighting simulations using calibrated simulation models of the 10 ...
Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...
The urban context is often simplified or neglected in Building Energy Models (BEMs) due to the difficulties of taking accurately into account all the heat fluxes emanating from the environment. Oversimplifying the urban context can impact the accuracy of t ...
Studies have shown that the exposure to daylight can have substantial visual/non-visual benefits for building occupants. To optimise daylighting provision while maintaining a comfortable visual environment, daylighting control systems have been investigate ...
