The functional classification of buildings is important for creating and managing urban zones and assisting government departments. Building function recognition is incredibly valuable for wide applications ranging from the determination of energy demand. By aiming at the topic of urban function classification, a semi-supervised graph structure network combined unified message passing model was introduced. The data of this model include spatial location distribution of buildings, building characteristics and the information mined from points of interesting (POIs). In order to extract the context information, each building was regarded as a graph node. Building characteristics and corresponding POIs information were embedded to mine the building function by the graph convolutional neural network. When training the model, several node labels in the graph were masked, and then these labels were predicted by the trained model so that this work could take full advantage of the node label and the feature information of all nodes in both the training and prediction stages. Quasi-experiments proved that the proposed method for building function classification using multi-source data enables the model to capture more meaningful information with limited labels, and it achieves better function classification results.

Abstract The residential-building sector in India consumes >25% of the total electricity and is the third-largest consumer of electricity; consumption increased by 26% between 2014 and 2017. India has introduced a star-labelling programme for residential buildings that is applicable for all single- and multiple-dwelling units in the country for residential purposes. The Energy Performance Index (EPI) of a building (annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours per square metre of the building) is taken as an indicator for awarding the star label for residential buildings. For gauging the EPI status of existing buildings, the electricity consumption of residential buildings (in kWh/m2/year) is established through a case study of the residential society. Two years of electricity bills are collected for an Indian residential society located in Palam, Delhi, analysed and benchmarked with the Indian residential star-labelling programme. A wide EPI gap is observed for existing buildings for five-star energy labels. Based on existing electricity tariffs, the energy consumption of residential consumers and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)’s proposed building ENERGY STAR labelling, a grid-integrated rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system is considered for achieving a higher star label. This research study establishes the potential of grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems for residential buildings in Indian cities through a case study of Delhi. Techno-economic analysis of a grid-integrated 3-kWp rooftop solar PV plant is analysed by using RETScreen software. The study establishes that an additional two stars can be achieved by existing buildings by using a grid-integrated rooftop solar PV plant. Payback for retrofit of a 3-kWp rooftop solar PV plant for Indian cites varies from 3 to 7 years. A case study in Delhi, India establishes the potential of grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems for residential buildings. Techno-economic analysis of grid integrated, 3 kWp rooftop solar systems estimates a payback period from 3 to 7 years.

The influence of building or dwelling energy performance on the real estate market dynamics and pricing processes is deeply explored, due to the fact that energy efficiency improvement is one of the fundamental reasons for retrofitting the existing housing stock. Nevertheless, the joint effect produced by the building energy performance and the architectural, typological, and physical-technical attributes seems poorly studied. Thus, the aim of this work is to investigate the influence of both energy performance and diverse features on property prices, by performing spatial analyses on a sample of housing properties listed on Turin’s real estate market and on different sub-samples. In particular, Exploratory Spatial Data Analyses (ESDA) statistics, standard hedonic price models (Ordinary Least Squares—OLS) and Spatial Error Models (SEM) are firstly applied on the whole data sample, and then on three different sub-samples: two territorial clusters and a sub-sample representative of the most energy inefficient buildings constructed between 1946 and 1990. Results demonstrate that Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) labels are gaining power in influencing price variations, contrary to the empirical evidence that emerged in some previous studies. Furthermore, the presence of the spatial effects reveals that the impact of energy attributes changes in different sub-markets and thus has to be spatially analysed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) on the Italian real estate market, focusing on old buildings. The contribution of EPC labels to house prices and to market liquidity was measured to analyze different aspects of the selling process. Design/methodology/approach A traditional hedonic model was used to explain the variables of listing price, transaction price, time on the market and bargaining outcome. In addition to EPC labels, the building construction period and the main features of apartments were included in the model. A sample of 879 transactions of old properties in Turin in 2011-2014 was considered. Findings A first hedonic model let us suppose that low EPC labels (E, F and G) were priced in the market although EPC labels explained only 6-8 per cent of price variation. A second full hedonic model, which included apartment characteristics, revealed that EPC labels had no impact on prices. Originality/value In Italy EPC has been mandatory for house transactions since 2009, so there are few studies on the effect of EPC on the Italian real estate market at least to our knowledge. Furthermore, unusually for the Italian context, in this paper also transaction prices were analyzed, in addition to the more frequently used listing prices.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of developments in Korea in relation to its energy consumption and sustainable development policies and progress in achieving its energy targets as given by the Building Energy Codes. Building insulation and passive building technologies are also reviewed for achieving passive house standards by 2017 and zero-energy or near zero-energy buildings (nZEB) by 2025 in Korea, and to identify strategies to further reduce usage of primary energy and to achieve energy efficiency targets. A defining feature of a sustainable building is its ability to reduce significantly its environmental impacts and its embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions over its whole life, including use of natural resources and releases of pollutants, to promote reuse and recycling of materials and sustainable development of buildings whilst ensuring the building satisfy the indoor environmental quality requirements for occupants. Passive technologies include the use of natural ventilation, energy storage such as using phase change materials (PCM) and high thermal mass structure, high energy efficiency windows and lighting and maximizing daylighting and use of renewable energy technologies. Technologies for refurbishment of building envelopes, windows and ventilation systems are reviewed to improve and upgrade the energy efficiency of existing buildings as well as focusing on new builds. The various options for heating, ventilating, cooling and air-conditioning of buildings are also discussed. Green Buildings and Energy Efficiency Labels and Standards should have a pertinent role to affect energy efficiency measures in building developments.

Deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks have largely improved the performance of building segmentation from remote sensing images. However, the images for building segmentation are often in the form of traditional orthophotos, where the relief displacement would cause non-negligible misalignment between the roof outline and the footprint of a building; such misalignment poses considerable challenges for extracting accurate building footprints, especially for high-rise buildings. Aiming at alleviating this problem, a new workflow is proposed for generating rectified building footprints from traditional orthophotos. We first use the facade labels, which are prepared efficiently at low cost, along with the roof labels to train a semantic segmentation network. Then, the well-trained network, which employs the state-of-the-art version of EfficientNet as backbone, extracts the roof segments and the facade segments of buildings from the input image. Finally, after clustering the classified pixels into instance-level building objects and tracing out the roof outlines, an energy function is proposed to drive the roof outline to maximally align with the building footprint; thus, the rectified footprints can be generated. The experiments on the aerial orthophotos covering a high-density residential area in Shanghai demonstrate that the proposed workflow can generate obviously more accurate building footprints than the baseline methods, especially for high-rise buildings.

Abstract National disclosure regulation is more and more flanked by stricter requirements of climate reporting. Industry stakeholders with more than 250 employees will for example be required to report on the share of their CAPEX and OPEX that is in line with the 2050 climate targets of the EU. Financial institutions are required to declare how much of their investment is in 2050 target compatible assets. Investment in buildings is an important part of such reporting and there is need of a robust approach and method to be used. The presented project developed such an approach. With reference to the work of the EU Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance and the Climate Bond Initiative (CBI), generally applicable criteria for buildings have been determined and calculated for the example of Switzerland. They are based on a best-in-class approach. While the EU Technical Taxonomy refers to the top 15% of buildings in terms of primary energy demand, CBI uses CO2-emissions as a benchmark. To compare the current state of buildings sector with these criteria, a distributional building stock model is used, which also addresses the fact that the data availability on energy efficiency and climate compatibility of the building stock is unsatisfactory in many European countries including Switzerland. To be easily applicable in practice, the criteria are mainly based on two dimensions: on the one hand, on the requirements of codes (in Switzerland the model regulations of the Cantons, MuKEn) and widely used standards and labels (Minergie, GEAK), and on the other hand, on the energy sources used for the generation of space heat and hot water. The study shows that ecologically sustainable, climate-compatible building financing can always be assumed in Switzerland if one of the following two criteria are met for new buildings: multi-family, office or other non-residential buildings according to Minergie from 1998 on, MuKEn from 2000 on or GEAK B that use heat-pumps, wood, pellets or solar energy. Or, any building with Minergie from 2009 on label, MuKEn 2014 or GEAK A that use heat pumps, wood, pellets, solar energy or district heating based on non-fossil energy. In the context of increased pressure on resources, it is important to acknowledge the climate-compatibility of older buildings as well (and to not only consider newly which would generate a bias towards resource intensive building of new houses).

Characteristics of a song are an important aspect that must be kept authentic by a singer. Using the Spotify API feature, we can extract the characteristics or elements of a song sung by a singer. There are eight (8) elements that we can get from the extraction of a song, namely: Danceability, Energy, Loudness, Speechiness, Acousticness, Liveness, Valence, and Tempo. Based on the extraction results, we can label the music artist using the classification analysis method. In this study, the labels are music artists, namely Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. This study aims to obtain the classification of music artist labels using binary logistic regression methods and discriminant analysis. The response variable used in this study is Artist Music (Y) which is categorized into two categories, namely Ariana Grande (Y=0) and Taylor Swift (Y=1). The data will be divided into training and testing data with the proportion of data 90:10 and 80:20. Based on the results of the analysis, the binary regression model that was built, with the proportion of training testing data that is 90:10 has a classification accuracy for data testing of 90.00%.

This article examines how the behaviour of occupants is assessed in a project with ambitious targets for energy use reductions and within the framework of an approach based on an energy performance contract. Its starting point is the observation that there may be significant disparities between the consumption threshold required by the regulations or the labels and the actual building consumption in its post-delivery existence. While behaviour cannot be the only factor explaining this overconsumption, the promoters of high-performance renovation operations often marginalise their importance. The recent surge in requirements for energy consumption reductions in new or renovated buildings in Europe further exacerbates these problems. In light of these challenges, there is a strong demand for compulsory verification of post-delivery performances and for developing energy performance contracts. In this context, the behaviour of a building’s occupants can no longer be considered as a simple adjustment variable. Through the analysis of Energiesprong, a net-zero energy renovation approach for the social housing developed in the Netherlands and in France, built around the principle of an energy performance contract over a long timeframe, the article highlights the injunctions to behavioural changes, the strategies, the negotiations, and the adjustments deployed by the project leaders. It finally shows that there is still a long way to go before the occupant’s behaviour in a high-energy performance renovation project is fully taken into account.

Buildings are a major contributor to energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, and their energy-efficient renovation has been widely accepted as a cornerstone in the low-carbon transition of Europe’s cities.
Through an investigation into the policies and practices for the retrofitting of residential buildings, the research draws on the experience gained by leading member states and exemplary retrofit projects to highlight their most innovative aspects and practical implications from a design perspective.
To this aim, the research starts by presenting facts and figures about the current state of the building stock across Europe, and discussing the most relevant European directives and policy instruments for national implementation (i.e. Building Energy Codes, Building Energy Labels and related incentives). Then, it proceeds by describing the regulatory framework for building retrofitting in three reference countries (i.e. Denmark, France and Germany) and analysing a number of retrofit projects involving post-war multi-family buildings and estates. Finally, it summarizes and systemizes findings from the case studies, identifying a set of retrofit measures that have proven to be effective in meeting energy efficiency requirements while improving urban quality of life.

The present work is aimed at investigating the environmental and energy performances of products to be utilized in buildings. Specifically, marble (Section 1), granite (Section 2) and natural materials (Section 3) will be analyzed.
The marble features are here studied on the basis of a field working chain audit. Particularly, two representative firms of the Custonaci productive basin (Trapani) have been considered. Their working chain have been investigated, by the point of view of the energy and materials flows, with a classical Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. Moreover, the social and economic impacts of such materials have also been assessed by means of the Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) approaches. By the way, the here presented S-LCA study represents one of the few presently available in the literature.
The granite has been analyzed by an energy and materials point of view, in the aim of singling out the possibility of reducing the amount of energy involved in the productive process along with the potentiality for reusing the waste materials resulting from the present working chain. The study refers to Spanish firms, due to the period that the author spent in this country, thanks to a PhD fellowship granted by the University of Palermo.
The possibility of utilizing natural materials, like hay and hemp, has been finally investigated by means of an experimental approach. The studies was conducted in the laboratory for indoor and building materials currently operating within the Department DEIM of the University of Palermo.

Cette thèse de doctorat cherche à mieux comprendre certaines caractéristiques du marché de la performance énergétique des bâtiments dans le secteur résidentiel et à évaluer l'efficacité de trois interventions publiques visant à encourager la rénovation énergétique : Diagnostic de performance énergétique (DPE), crédit d'impôt pour le développement durable (CIDD) et taxation de l'énergie. Le premier chapitre de la thèse passe en revue la littérature sur la certification de la performance énergétique des bâtiments et conclut que les ménages la valorisent lorsqu'ils achètent ou louent un logement. Le deuxième chapitre présente une analyse théorique de l'impact du DPE et démontre que le DPE peut réduire ou augmenter la consommation d'énergie en fonction de l'horizon temporel et de l'hétérogénéité de la demande d'énergie dans la population. Le troisième chapitre développe une simulation basée sur le modèle susmentionné et suggère que le DPE doit être combiné avec d'autres interventions publiques pour être efficace. S'appuyant sur des données de panel françaises, le quatrième chapitre analyse économétriquement l'impact d'une augmentation du CIDD et montre qu’elle stimule significativement les dépenses pour les investissements éligibles. Le dernier chapitre analyse économétriquement comment les prix de l'énergie influent sur les décisions des ménages en rénovation énergétique et ne trouve pas de preuve statistique de l'effet d'une hausse des prix de l’énergieThis PhD dissertation aims at better understanding some features of the market for building energy performance in the residential sector and at evaluating the effectiveness of three policy interventions to encourage energy retrofit: Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), tax credit for energy retrofit, and energy taxation. The first chapter of the thesis surveys the literature on building energy performance certification: there is strong evidence that households value building energy performance when buying or renting a dwelling. The second chapter provides a theoretical analysis of the impact of EPCs and shows that EPCs can decrease or increase energy consumption depending on the time horizon and the heterogeneity of energy demand in the population. The third chapter develops a simulation based on the aforementioned model and suggests that EPCs need to be supplemented by other policy instruments to reduce energy consumption. Relying on French micro-panel data, the fourth chapter econometrically analyzes the impact of a tax credit rate increase for energy retrofit and finds that it can substantially boost expenditures for investments targeted by the tax credit. The last chapter econometrically analyzes how energy prices affect households’ decisions to invest in building energy performance and does not find any statistical evidence of an effect of an increase in energy fuel price

The building sector is one of the largest consumers of energy in global terms, hence the importance of search for energy efficiency in this Field. According to the buildings life cycle, it is in the operational phase in which the highest energy consumption occurs. This research aimed to identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements in a public, existing and operational Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo building. The applied method was the case study. Data were collected in unstructured interviews and technical visits at the site, as well as related documentation examination. The data were analyzed by the PROCEL-Edifica prescriptive method, obtaining energy classification for the three characteristics of the building: the envelope got the label C, the illumination got label C and the conditioning of air got label B. The building general classification obtained was label C. The implications of this work for practice are in indicating potential improvements in the building's facilities to increase energy efficiency and in the analysis of potential and limitations for the study replication in other buildings. Some of the potential improvements identified were: change of fluorescent lamps to LEDs, change in the rooms lighting circuit, use of polarized films in the building’s glass, improvement in the vertical and horizontal shading of tower façades by using elements that reduce the direct incidence of sunlight. A basic investment payback period analysis for some improvements was conducted, as a examples to a action priorities definition. The method used can serve as a basis of a systematic to be replicated in other TJ/SP buildings. This study can contribute to the enhancement of the TJ/SP Sustainable Logistics Plan, in its line of buildings energy efficiency. In general, the prescriptive method accepted by PROCEL-Edifica criteria is indicated for this study’s replication in other buildings of the TJ/SP, due to the agility to change parameters theoretically and obtain results that may guide the introduction of energetic efficiency improvement measures. However, the “envelope” dimension evaluation has a more complex replication and possibly will require trained technicians participation when analyzing other buildings.
O setor de edificações é um dos maiores consumidores de energia em termos globais, daí a importância da busca da eficiência energética neste campo. Levando em conta o ciclo de vida das construções, é na sua fase operacional em que ocorre o maior consumo de energia. Esta pesquisa buscou identificar oportunidades de melhorias em eficiência energética em um edifício do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, público, existente e operacional. O método aplicado foi o estudo de caso. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas não estruturadas e visitas técnicas no local, além do exame de documentação relacionada. Foi feita a análise dos dados pelo método prescritivo do PROCEL-Edifica, obtendo classificação energética para as três características do prédio: a envoltória foi caracterizada com a etiqueta C, a iluminação a etiqueta C e o condicionamento de ar a etiqueta B. A classificação geral do prédio obtida foi etiqueta C. As implicações deste trabalho para a prática estão na indicação de potenciais melhorias nas instalações do prédio para aumento da eficiência energética e na análise de potencial e limitações para a replicação do estudo em outros prédios. Algumas das potenciais melhorias identificadas foram: mudança de lâmpadas fluorescentes para LED, alteração no circuito de iluminação de salas, uso de filmes polarizados nos vidros, melhoria no sombreamento vertical e horizontal das fachadas da torre pela utilização de elementos que diminuam a incidência direta da luz solar, como brises. Uma análise básica de tempo de retorno de investimento para algumas melhorias foi feito, demonstrando possível priorização de ações. O método usado pode servir como base de uma sistemática a ser replicada em outros edifícios do TJ/SP. Esse estudo visa contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento do Plano de Logística Sustentável do TJ/SP, na sua linha de eficiência energética de edifícios. No geral o método prescritivo aceito pelos critérios do PROCEL-Edifica é indicado para replicação do estudo em outros prédios do TJ/SP, devido a agilidade para alterar parâmetros teoricamente e obter resultados que orientem a introdução de medidas de melhorias da eficiência energética. No entanto, a avaliação da dimensão "envoltória" tem uma replicação mais complexa e possivelmente exigirá a participação de técnicos treinados quando da análise de outros edifícios.

Older q-labeled buildings may not be changed according to the corruptions banning, resulting in difficulties in energy efficiency of q-marked buildings, as traditional energy efficiency methods cannot be used without altering the building's properties. This report examines the profitability to energy-efficient a q-labeled building with a heat insulating plaster based on Z1 quartzene and lime cement render. By only changing the render properties of the plot, the building does not change characteristic or cultural historical value. The report sets out a general framework describing the maximum additional cost of a heat insulation plaster in comparison to a traditional plaster at four different thermal conversion coefficients; 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 W/m2 ×K. The framework can be used as a template that shows what a heat insulation plaster at varying thermal conductivities maximally may cost for the product to be economically viable compared to lime cement plaster. A life cycle cost analysis is used in a case study to assess if it is profitable to energy-efficient a qlabeled building in Gävle, with a heat insulating plaster based on Z1 and lime cement pits. Five theoretical mixtures with different proportions of Z1 and lime cement plaster was analyzed to assess profitability at different thermal conductivity. The result of the case study shows that all heat-insulating plasters is economically profitable, where the most profitable mixing is the one with the highest proportion of Z1 (80%). That the most profitable mixture is the one with the highest proportion of Z1 can be explained by the fact that energy saving is increasing at a faster rate than the additional cost of the heat insulating plaster The estimated additional cost of the case study is tested in the cost ceiling to identify the profitability at different heat transfer coefficient. The results shows that walls with an high heat transfer coefficient has the largest profitability, while the walls with a lower heat transfer coefficient (a better heat transfer coefficient) is the least profitable. This is because of the walls with a higher heat transfer coefficient has a greater energy saving potential then walls whit a lower heat transfer coefficientÄldre q-märkta byggnader får enligt förvanskningsförbudet inte förändras, vilket resulterar i svårigheter att energieffektivisera q-märkt byggnader, eftersom traditionella energieffektiviseringsmetoder inte kan användas utan att förändra byggnadens egenskaper. I denna rapport undersöks lönsamheten att energieffektivisera en q-märkt byggnad med en värmeisolerande puts baserad på Quartzene av typen Z1 och kalkcementputs. Genom att endast förändra putsens termiska egenskaper förändras inte byggnaden karaktärsdrag eller kulturhistoriska värde. I rapporten fastställs ett generellt ramverk som beskriver den maximala merkostnaden för en värmeisolerande puts i jämförelse med en traditionell puts vid fyra olika värmegenomgångskoefficienter; 0,2, 0,4, 0,6 och 0,8 W/m2×K. Ramverket kan användas som en mall som visar vad en värmeisolerande puts vid varierande värmekonduktiviteter maximalt får kosta för att produkten ska vara ekonomisk lönsam i jämförelse med kalkcementputs. I en fallstudie används en livscykelkostnadsanalys (LCC) för att bedöma om det är lönsamt att energieffektivisera en q-märkt byggnad beläggen i Gävle med en värmeisolerande puts, baserat på Z1 och kalkcementputs. Fem modellerade blandningar med olika andelar Z1 och kalkcementputs analyseras för att bedöma lönsamheten vid olika värmekonduktivitet. Fallstudiens resultat visar att samtliga värmeisolerande puts är ekonomiskt lönsamma, där den mest lönsamma värmeisolerande putsen är den med högsta andel Z1 (80%). Att den mest lönsamma blandningen är den med högst andel Z1 kan förklaras av att energibesparingen ökar i snabbare takt än merkostnaden för den värmeisolerande putsen. Fallstudiens beräknade merkostnad prövas i kostnadstaket för att identifiera lönsamheten vid olika värmegenomgångskoefficienter. Resultatet visar att väggar med en sämre värmegenomgångskoefficient (ett högt U-värde) har störst lönsamhet medan väggar med en bättre värmegenomgångskoefficient (ett lågt U-värde) har minst lönsamhet. Detta beror på att väggar med en sämre värmegenomgångskoefficient har större energibesparingspotential än byggnader med en god värmegenomgångskoefficient.

The use of energy in buildings is a complex problem, but it can be reduced and alleviated by making appropriate decisions. Therefore, architects face a major and responsible task of designing the built environment in such a way that its energy dependence will be reduced to a minimum, while at the same time being able to provide comfortable living conditions. Today, architects have many tools at their disposal, facilitating the design process and simultaneously ensuring proper assessment in the early stages of building design. The purpose of this book is to present ongoing research from the universities involved in the project Creating the Network of Knowledge Labs for Sustainable and Resilient Environments (KLABS). This book attempts to highlight the problem of energy use in buildings and propose certain solutions. It consists of nine chapters, organised in three parts. The gathering of chapters into parts serves to identify the different themes that the designer needs to consider, namely energy resources, energy use and comfort, and energy efficiency. Part 1, entitled “Sustainable and Resilient Energy Resources,” sets off by informing the reader about the basic principles of energy sources, production, and use. The chapters give an overview of all forms of energies and energy cycle from resources to end users and evaluate the resilience of renewable energy systems. This information is essential to realise that the building, as an energy consumer, is part of a greater system and the decisions can be made at different levels. Part 2, entitled “Energy and Comfort in the Built Environment”, explain the relationship between energy use and thermal comfort in buildings and how it is predicted. Buildings consume energy to meet the users’ needs and to provide comfort. The appropriate selection of materials has a direct impact on the thermal properties of a building. Moreover, comfort is affected by parameters such as temperature, humidity, air movement, air quality, lighting, and noise. Understanding and calculating those conditions are valuable skills for the designers. After the basics of energy use in buildings have been explained, Part 3, entitled “Energy Saving Strategies” aims to provide information and tools that enable an energy- and environmentally-conscious design. This part is the most extensive as it aims to cover different design aspects. Firstly, passive and active measures that the building design needs to include are explained. Those measures are seen from the perspective of heat flow and generation. The Passive House concept, which is explained in the second chapter of Part 3, is a design approach that successfully incorporates such measures, resulting in low energy use by the building. Other considerations that the following chapters cover are solar control, embodied energy and CO2 emissions, and finally economic evaluation. The energy saving strategies explained in this book, despite not being exhaustive, provide basic knowledge that the designer can use and build upon during the design of new buildings and existing building upgrades. In the context of sustainability and resilience of the built environment, the reduction of energy demand is crucial. This book aims to provide a basic understanding of the energy flows in buildings and the subsequent impact for the building’s operation and its occupants. Most importantly, it covers the principles that need to be taken into account in energy efficient building design and demonstrates their effectiveness. Designers are shaping the built environment and it is their task to make energy-conscious and informed decisions that result in comfortable and resilient buildings.

AbstractBuilding Energy Management (BEM) and monitoring systems should not only consider HVAC systems and building physics but also human behaviors. These systems could provide information and advice to occupants about the significance of their practices with regard to the current state of a dwelling. It is also possible to provide services such as assistance to the elderly, comfort and health monitoring. For this, an intelligent building must know the daily activities of its residents and the algorithms of the smart environment must track and recognize the activities that the occupants normally perform as part of their daily routine. In the literature, deep learning is one of effective supervised learning model and cost-efficient for real-time HAR, but it still struggles with the quality of training data (missing values in time series and non-annotated event), the variability of data, the data segmentation and the ontology of activities. In this work, recent research works, existing algorithms and related challenges in this field are firstly highlighted. Then, new research directions and solutions (performing fault detection and diagnosis for drift detection, multi-label classification modeling for multi-occupant classification, new indicators for training data quality, new metrics weighted by the number of representations in dataset to handle the issue of missing data and finally language processing for complex activity recognition) are suggested to solve them respectively and to improve this field.

Smart electricity meters allow capturing consumption load profiles of residential buildings. Besides several other applications, the retrieved data renders it possible to reveal household characteristics including the number of persons per apartment, age of the dwelling, etc., which helps to develop targeted energy conservation services. The goal of this chapter is to develop further related methods of smart meter data analytics that infer such household characteristics using weekly load curves. The contribution of this chapter to the state of the art is threefold. The authors first quadruplicate the number of defined features that describe electricity load curves to preserve relevant structures for classification. Then, they suggest feature filtering techniques to reduce the dimension of the input to a set of a few significant ones. Finally, the authors redefine class labels for some properties. As a result, the classification accuracy is elevated up to 82%, while the runtime complexity is significantly reduced.

A billion times improved, what once filled large halls and cost millions are now so small and cheap that we throw them away like empty sweet wrappers. Their universal design and common language enables them to talk to each other and control our world. They follow their own law, a Law of Moore, which guarantees their ubiquity. But how fast and how small can they go? When the laws of physics are challenged by their hunger and size, what then? Will they transform into something radical and different? And will we be able to cope with their future needs? . . . A high-pitched voice cut through the general murmur of the Bell Telephone Laboratories Cafeteria. ‘No, I’m not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I’m after is a mediocre brain, something like the President of American Telephone & Telegraph Company.’ Alan Turing was in town. Turing was visiting the Bell Labs towards the end of his American visit, in early 1943. He was there to help with their speech encipherment work for transatlantic communication (coding the transmission of speech so that the enemy could not understand it). But the visit soon became beneficial for a different reason. Every day at teatime Turing and a Bell Labs researcher called Claude Shannon had long discussions in the cafeteria. It seemed they were both fascinated by the idea of computers. But while Turing approached the subject from a very mathematical perspective, Shannon had approached the topic from a different angle. Claude Shannon was four years younger than Turing. Born in a small town called Petoskey, MI, USA, on the shores of Lake Michigan, his father was a businessman, and his mother was the principal of GayLord High School. Claude grew up in the nearby town of GayLord and attended his mother’s school. He showed a great interest in engineering and mathematics from an early age. Even as a child he was building erector sets, model planes, a radio controlled boat, and a telegraph system to his friend’s house half a mile away (making use of two barbed wires around a nearby pasture).

Internal heat gains from occupants, equipment and lighting contribute a significant proportion of the heat gains in an office space. Usage of ICT in offices is growing; on the other hand, their efficiency is also improving all the time. Increasing energy efficiency in buildings have led to the situation, when new, well insulated office buildings, with high internal gains within the working hours may cover low heating energy demand. Such buildings, even in heating dominated countries, such as Lithuania, often also suffer from overheating during the winter heating season. The paper presents the analysis of energy demand of the office building for various plug loads (ICT equipment) internal gains scenarios and demonstrates its influence on buildings energy performance. Simulation results enable to conclude, that when assessing sustainability and energy bills of the building, plug loads play a very important role. Meanwhile, assessing just energy performance influence is very small. Energy performance certification results show, that plug loads may influence energy performance label just for buildings corresponding A+ and A++ labels).

PARC, a Xerox Company, is developing a low-cost system of peel-and-stick wireless sensors that will enable widespread building environment sensor deployment with the potential to deliver up to 30% energy savings. The system is embodied by a set of RF hubs that provide power to automatically located sensor nodes, and relay data wirelessly to the building management system (BMS). The sensor nodes are flexible electronic labels powered by rectified RF energy transmitted by an RF hub and can contain multiple printed and conventional sensors. The system design overcomes limitations in wireless sensors related to power delivery, lifetime, and cost by eliminating batteries and photovoltaic devices. Sensor localization is performed automatically by the inclusion of a programmable multidirectional antenna array in the RF hub. Comparison of signal strengths while the RF beam is swept allows for sensor localization, reducing installation effort and enabling automatic recommissioning of sensors that have been relocated, overcoming a significant challenge in building operations. PARC has already demonstrated wireless power and temperature data transmission up to a distance of 20m with less than one minute between measurements, using power levels well within the FCC regulation limits in the 902–928 MHz ISM band. The sensor’s RF energy harvesting antenna achieves high performance with dimensions below 5cm × 9cm.

In owner-occupied facilities, it is easy to justify the incorporation of high-performance building features because commonly recognized hard and soft benefits (cost savings, productivity gains and improved occupant health, etc.) are directly recovered by the investment entity. Developers or owners of multi-tenant office buildings and retail developments, on the other hand, encounter both perceived and real barriers that often prevent the inclusion of high-performance, climactic responsive features in new or retrofit projects. Good design, proper lease formulations, market education and intelligent operation will help overcome these barriers and allow the benefits of high-performance buildings to be realized and shared amongst various stakeholders. To demonstrate this process, strategies were analyzed for a multi-tenant building in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The Alpine Professional Building (APB) is a three-story, 18,537 gross square foot building that was originally built in 1950 and was remodeled in 1981. The building has fifteen tenants, ranging from 143 SF of leased space to an entire floor. The HVAC systems are in need of upgrading and little has been done to the building beyond typical maintenance to keep systems in operation. This is a fairly typical scenario across the industry, which enables this analysis to be widely applicable and adaptable. Building walkthroughs, surveys, utility bill analysis and energy analysis concluded that an upgrade was needed consisting of the following package of measures: improved occupant control (thought tenant education and digital thermostats), upgrading the light fixtures in the common areas and tenant spaces, and replacing the boiler. This package has a payback period under nine years would enable the building to achieve the ENERGY STAR label and can be profitable for both tenants and the landlord. The financial analysis evaluated four different methods of financing the upgrades so that both the tenant and landlord would benefit financially from the upgrades. The financial method recommended is the ‘CAM Adjustment method’ in which the landlord would provide the initial capital for the upgrades and recover those costs (plus interest) through adjustments to the Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fees. This method would have minimal tenant disruption and enable the landlord to bridge costs and savings across tenants during turnover. This paper also compares the four financing mechanisms and demonstrates their industry applicability through commonly applied energy conservation measures.

According to Lawrence Livermore Labs 36% of the country’s energy use is attributable to buildings and two thirds of that is in the residential sector. This research combines building energy modeling with energy consumption data in transportation and infrastructure sectors to examine energy use implications of habitation patterns. We compared CO2 footprints of three different patterns of typical American habitation: post-Second World War non-urban, 19th century urban, and highly urban. From drawings, utility bills, and occupant data, we used TREAT (Targeted Retrofit Energy Analysis Tool) to model the energy use of three buildings of very different constructions, comparing in the process the impact on energy use of envelope and size. Because buildings don’t exist as isolated energy-using entities, we added the CO2 footprint contributions of location/density, reflected by infrastructure: numbers of miles of paving required to place a building in the landscape, miles of pipe for water and waste and the energy required by pumps to make it work. Finally, people move between buildings, so we added a transportation component to account for occupants’ daily travel. Since buildings don’t use energy (people do) we divided total CO2 footprints by number of occupants for per capita CO2. The final analysis quantifies the impact on an individual’s CO2 production of habitation (dense urban, historic urban, or non-urban) and how much impact energy conservation measures can have once the selection of a dwelling location is made. Our analyses demonstrate that reduction of building energy use through improved construction affects only a small percentage of total energy usage. Instead, choice of where to live determines individual CO2 footprints far more than building-related components. We found nearly a threefold difference in individual energy consumption from a New York City apartment dweller to a “close-in” suburban ranch house occupant with only minor differences between building-associated energy use. The bulk of the difference is attributable to differences in transportation utilization and infrastructure-related energy consumption. Even as technical and legislative advances continue, our work demonstrates a broader societal dialogue about fundamental big picture issues, including sustainable densities, is critical.

High-rise commercial and residential buildings are a type of building that has been developing rapidly in urban centers in recent years. With the continuous development of urbanization, it has an increasing impact on the sustainable development of the human living environment, and the study of the sustainable design of such high-rise commercial and residential buildings is a matter of great urgency. Human society has entered the ecological era, and all aspects of the social economy are increasingly labeled as eco-friendly and sustainable in the development process. High-rise commercial and residential buildings, because of their comprehensive functions, are bound to bring the defects of high energy consumption and high pollution. Therefore, the design of high-rise commercial and residential buildings should be based on the principle of sustainable design, scientific and reasonable planning of the building plan, and the implementation of high utilization rate of building functions to ensure that the building can comply with the principles of ecological and environmental protection and sustainable development, which is the development trend of high-rise commercial and residential building planning and architectural design at present and for a long time in the future. This paper analyzes the necessity of sustainable design for commercial and residential complexes in modern cities, and examines the sustainable design of high-rise commercial and residential complexes in detail in terms of the plan layout of building units and traffic organization design, taking into account the design practice of the Wantun community.

The current state of the economy along with the rising cost of energy has strained the university’s budget. As a result, the university is forced to cut spending. To elude the possibility of layoffs, wage decreases, or tuition increases, the university can cut costs by reducing the amount of energy it is using. In many cases, energy is not being utilized properly; instead it is being wasted unnecessarily. Considerable savings can be obtained by better managing the university’s energy usage. To estimate the potential cost savings, the energy currently being used by the university was determined separately for each building. The numbers of lights in all accessible areas were counted. The presence of computers, fans, refrigerators, microwaves, and heaters in each room was recorded. Furthermore, it was noted whether the lights were on or off and if the room was occupied or not. The assessments revealed a considerable amount of wasted energy. Lights were on in unoccupied rooms. Lights were also observed to be left on for extended periods of time. Computers were on and not being used, and were rarely ever turned off. A number of personal fans, heaters, microwaves, and refrigerators were present in faculty’s offices. To reduce or eliminate the wasted energy created by these findings, recommendations to the university are to install occupancy sensors, set computers to go into sleep mode when they are not in use, close unused computer labs and buildings, and regulate the occurrence of personal energy consuming devices found in offices. All of the suggestions have a rapid simple payback period.

Alternative energy laboratory experiences in solar PV and wind energy have been developed to help support the “green” concentration recently offered for the first time in the mechanical engineering program at Western New England College. These laboratories, which give students hands-on experience and a better understanding of basic concepts in alternative energy systems, are conducted in a newly developed indoor/outdoor alternative energy laboratory facility. The alternative energy indoor/outdoor laboratory facility includes a fully operation geothermal system, which is used to heat and cool the engineering labs. It also includes six 195 Watt photovoltaic panels, a 30,000 Btu/clear day flat-plate solar collector, a Thermomax evacuated tubes solar collector, as well as a full scale 1 kW wind turbine, which allows for useful power and hot water to be provided to the engineering building. This facility is also fully instrumented for the collection of key performance data and allows for large scale demonstration of alternative energy systems to students. This paper describes the development, operation and capability of the indoor/outdoor alternative energy facilities, as well as a detailed description of solar and wind experiments, and how these are used in support of the “green” concentration within the mechanical engineering curriculum to give engineering graduates greater competency in the design, analysis and application of solar and wind energy systems.
