RISSocial Welfare-Based Human Comfort Aggregation Model to Facilitate Healthy and Comfortable Indoor Environments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multioccupancy environment (e.g., classroom, open office space, auditorium) typically features unbalanced ambient conditions such as temperatures, humidity, CO2 levels, noise levels, and lighting conditions. It is also ...
Exploring Stakeholder Views on Disaster Resilience Practices of Residential Communities in South Florida
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Disaster resilience is a shared responsibility among all stakeholders. There is sorely a need to engage multiple stakeholders in collaboratively creating and facilitating the disaster resilience of residential communities. ...
Effective Topology of Bolted Connections for Detecting Damage Using Guided Wave Ultrasonics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structures will eventually develop defects due to aging or overloading, which negatively affect the load-bearing capacity. In certain design details, defects are hidden and difficult to inspect with conventional inspection ...
Axiology-Based Valuation Modeling for Human-Centered Decision Making in Building Planning and Design
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Understanding and assessing the value of building systems to stakeholders and the impacts of decision making on this value has become a national imperative. However, there is still a lack of understanding and formalized ...
Modeling of Supercritical CO2 Flow Through Short Tube Orifices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transcritical cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a promising alternative approach to heat pumps and automobile air conditioners. As an expansion device, the short tube orifice in a transcritical ...

Human-Centered Value Analysis: Building-Value Aggregation Based on Human Values and Building-System Integration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding and assessing the value of infrastructure systems based on human values (e.g., safety, energy conservation) has become critical. However, there is a lack of understanding and modeling of how to valuate ...
Epistemology-Based Context-Aware Semantic Model for Sustainable Construction Practices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the key factors for enabling sustainable construction is promoting the acquisition of knowledge about sustainable construction practices (SCPs). Information retrieval (IR) is at the heart of knowledge acquisition. ...
Discovering Stakeholder Values for Axiology-Based Value Analysis of Building Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There has been an increasing demand for maximizing the environmental, social, and economic value of built infrastructure. However, a major gap still exists in the area of value analysis; there is no formal model to ...
