Abstract: There is an urgent need in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries for new programs and methods of producing reliable energy simulations using building information modeling (BIM) technology. Current ...

Abstract: Occupant behavior has a substantial impact on the total energy consumption in buildings. To reduce consumption much work has been done investigating behavioral energy-use interventions (e.g., feedback). Being able to ...

Abstract: Molecular adjuvants can be used to enhance the natural destructive mechanisms of freezing within tissue. This review discusses their use in the growing field of combinatorial or adjuvant enhanced ...

Abstract: This paper presents a nonintrusive electricity load-monitoring approach that provides feedback on the energy consumption and operational schedule of electrical appliances in a residential building. This approach utilizes ...

Abstract: In this paper, a conceptual framework that couples energy modeling with occupancy characteristics and energy use data is developed and tested to achieve two main objectives: (1) couple distinct and spatially distributed ...
