Heat Transfer in Facade Systems and Energy Use: Comparative Study of Different Exterior Wall Types
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This research article discusses methods for designing high-performance facades with a focus on minimizing heat transfer and improving energy usage. The facade is one of the most significant contributors to the energy budget ... -
Green Building Rating Systems and Whole-Building Life Cycle Assessment: Comparative Study of the Existing Assessment Tools
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)There is a growing interest in integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) into building design decision making due to LCA’s comprehensive and systemic approach to environmental evaluation. Many green building rating systems ... -
Application of Bass Diffusion Theory to Simulate the Impact of Feedback and Word of Mouth on Occupants’ Behavior in Commercial Buildings: An Agent-Based Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016) -
Unlocking Energy Efficiency in Small Commercial Buildings through Mechanical Contractors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Although buildings smaller than 4,645 m2 account for nearly half of the energy used in U.S. commercial buildings, energy-efficiency programs to date have primarily focused on larger buildings. Stakeholder interviews conducted ... -
Case Study of Quantifying Energy Loss through Ceiling-Attic Recessed Lighting Fixtures through 3D Numerical Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Air leakage through recessed lighting fixtures has been identified as a common issue that causes extra energy consumption in residential buildings. However, few quantitative studies in this area were found. As such, a ... -
Simulating Loads on a Roof Structure Caused by a Worker Falling from a Roof Edge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Changes in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fall-protection guidelines for residential construction since late 2011 have required the use of fall-protection and fall-arrest systems for workers past ... -
