RISModeling the Effect of Building Stakeholder Interactions on Value Perception of Sustainable Retrofits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Optimizing the Performance of Energy-Intensive Commercial Buildings: Occupancy-Focused Data Collection and Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In commercial buildings, energy consumed during operation oftentimes differs from that predicted during design. The discrepancy is specifically large in energy-intensive buildings (e.g., laboratory facilities), which ...
Agent-Based Modeling of Occupants and Their Impact on Energy Use in Commercial Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Energy modeling is globally used during the design phase to estimate future building energy performance. Predictions obtained from common energy estimation software typically deviate from actual energy consumption levels. ...
Optimizing the Performance of Energy-Intensive Commercial Buildings: Occupancy-Focused Data Collection and Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In commercial buildings, energy consumed during operation oftentimes differs from that predicted during design. The discrepancy is specifically large in energy-intensive buildings (e.g., laboratory facilities), which can ...
Framework to Evaluate Energy-Saving Potential from Occupancy Interventions in Typical Commercial Buildings in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Occupancy-focused interventions to reduce building energy use have been shown to be effective but often result in unsustained energy reductions. In addition, these interventions have rarely been applied to commercial ...
Analysis of Dispute Review Boards Application in U.S. Construction Projects from 1975 to 2007
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since their first successful implementation in 1975, dispute review boards (DRBs) gained popularity as a standing neutral alternative dispute resolution (ADR) technique, and were implemented on a number of high profile ...
Recession Effects in United States Public Sector Construction Contracting: Focus on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was enacted to support the economy in response to the 2008–2009 global recession. The injection of construction funds into the public sector put pressure on public ...
State of Practice of Building Information Modeling in the Mechanical Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The North American construction industry has seen a decline in productivity for decades due to underlying problems such as lack of team collaboration, less initial design input, and higher building systems complexity. These ...
Cloud-Based Hierarchical Imitation Learning for Scalable Transfer of Construction Skills from Human Workers to Assisting Robots
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Assigning repetitive and physically demanding construction tasks to robots can alleviate human workers’ exposure to occupational injuries, which often result in significant downtime or premature retirement. However, the ...
Integrating Large Language Models with Multimodal Virtual Reality Interfaces to Support Collaborative Human–Robot Construction Work
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the construction industry, where work environments are complex, unstructured and often dangerous, the implementation of human–robot collaboration (HRC) is emerging as a promising advancement. This underlines the critical ...
