We present the design and implementation of RECA, a novel human-centric recommender system for co-optimizing energy consumption, comfort and air quality in commercial buildings. Existing works generally optimize these objectives separately, or by only cont ...
The construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and emissions from housing and construction contribute to approximately 40% of all annual global carbon dioxide emissions. With cities racing to meet their climate targets, there is ...
This paper presents quantitative information on the effectiveness of seismic retrofit solutions using bilinear oil dampers for seismically deficient existing tall steel buildings. For this purpose, a benchmark 40-story steel space moment-resisting frame bu ...
Fritz Haller (1924-2012) developed building systems Maxi (industrial halls), Midi (offices), and Mini (private homes) in the mid 1960’s with USM (current Haller-designed furniture manufacturer). Rejecting the individuality of most architectural projects, H ...
Bifunctional hydrogen-bond donors/amines are commonly encountered organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Existing computational tools do not take full advantage of their modularity to suggest tailored designs because they generally rely on evaluating the ...
Residential building energy usage can be considered as being derived from the activity patterns of individuals inside the home. As such an activity-based energy demand model that can create in-home energy usage profiles from household activity patterns is ...
This paper introduces a database of 34 field-measured building occupant behavior datasets collected from 15 countries and 39 institutions across 10 climatic zones covering various building types in both commercial and residential sectors. This is a compreh ...
Historic urban cores in southern Europe are characterized by a significant number of existing unreinforced masonry structures that are known for their seismic vulnerability. The first step in the preservation of such damaged buildings is condition assessme ...
The North American construction industry has seen substantial growth in the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing for midrise buildings in recent years. In seismic zones, CFS-framed buildings utilize shear walls to provide the primary lateral resistance t ...
In architectural historiography, it is widely accepted that in the aftermath of WWII, Modern Architecture found itself in the trouble of redefining its quest, its meaning, and its purpose; a crisis of the Modern before the Post-Modern. Thus, in this partic ...
