A Framework to Identify Stakeholder Values for Building Layout Design
(ASCE, 2022/06/01)Well-designed facilities result in significant social, economic, cultural, and environmental benefits to their stakeholders. In Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) literature, these benefits are generally ... -
A Hybrid Prioritization Model for Funding School Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects Using Data Envelopment Analysis and Linear Programming Algorithms
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)Public school buildings often require regular inspections and effective maintenance strategies to ensure their proper functional performance and safety. Because of budget constraints, school buildings always did not receive ... -
A Modeling-Based Decision Support System for Enabling Mass Net-Zero Energy Retrofit of Building Communities in Developing Countries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Reducing energy demand in buildings is one of the critical elements of the current climate change mitigation strategies because buildings account for 40% of all energy-related CO2 emissions worldwide. In developed nations ... -
A New Approach to Effective Use of Design Rationale in Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Documentation of design rationale (DR) has great potential for improving the quality of design and construction. Yet 30 years of research has failed to make use of DR practical in real-world projects. This failure is above ... -
A Top-Down Hierarchical Decomposition Approach for Generating Process Models to Aid BIM Data Exchanges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Process models are a critical component in the development of building information modeling (BIM) software interoperability advances, specifically with information delivery manuals (IDMs). These process models’ formulations ... -
A Virtual Supply Airflow Rate Sensor Based on Original Equipment Manufacturer Data for Rooftop Air Conditioners
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)The supply airflow rate is crucial for monitoring, controlling, and detecting faults in rooftop air conditioner units (RTUs). However, the cost and intrusiveness of a supply airflow rate sensor (SARS) make it difficult to ... -
Accelerations of Nonstructural Components during Nonlinear Seismic Response of Multistory Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A simple method is presented for determining the peak horizontal acceleration of nonstructural components attached to the floor system of multistory structures subjected to strong ground motions. The procedure was developed ... -
Accounting for Human Error during Design and Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Three approaches to addressing human errors during engineering design and construction are presented. The first is a mathematical model to investigate the effect of error in load or resistance on the reliability of the ... -
Acoustic Modeling of Honeycomb Structures for First Load Direction with Damping Consideration
(ASCE, 2022/06/09)Low-frequency noise control in buildings is a critical issue because of the weak sound insulation in low frequencies (<200 Hz) for doors and partitions. In the present study, an analytical model has been proposed to ... -
Acoustical Properties of Southern Pine Cross-Laminated Timber Panels
(ASCE, 6/1/2020 1)Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is composed of a series of lumber layers placed orthogonally to create a thick panel. Advantages of CLT construction include reduced construction time, lighter structural elements, and reduced ... -
Acoustics and Lighting Education in Architectural Engineering: Experience of WPI
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The growing complexity of buildings requires architectural engineering to integrate many different specialized capabilities, among which building physics often plays a primary role. Architectural engineers must understand ... -
Active Monitoring and Control of Light Fixtures during Building Construction and Operation: Cyber-Physical Systems Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Digitally addressable lighting systems offer tremendous opportunities for performance monitoring and control of individual light fixtures. However, the locations of individual light fixtures within a building are not easily ... -
Adaptable Industrial Building System: Construction Industry Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Industrial building systems (IBS) are considered a modern method of construction (MMC). Although numerous studies have explored the implications of IBS implementation, they have focused primarily on the hardware elements. ... -
Additively Constructed Plain Concrete Pipes: Structural Performance and Site Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Worldwide, extrusion-based additive construction of cementitious materials or 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has gained significant momentum for large-scale construction in recent years. This technology has advanced building ... -
Addressing the Housing Challenges of an Aging Population: Initiatives by Blueroof Technologies in McKeesport, Pennsylvania
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Accommodating the preference of the growing elderly population to age independently, at home and in the community, requires innovative and cost-effective neighborhood retrofit plans. Retrofitting existing homes and infilling ... -
Adopting Lean Management Principles for Renovation Projects
