Growing concerns related to the environmental impacts of rising global energy consumption compel the continued development of low-emission technologies for the building s[...]

Innovations in engineered wood products have led to an increased interest in the design and construction of high-rise timber buildings. However, concerns arise when consi[...]

Residential buildings contribute about 22% of the national energy use in the U.S. Space heating, domestic hot water (DHW), and space cooling are the three major end uses,[...]

Air-to-air energy exchangers are used in building HVAC systems to transfer energy between the exhaust air and the outdoor air. Because of its potential to reduce the ener[...]

Due to increasing penetration in renewables in the grid, it has become increasingly necessary to provide a balance between supply and demand. Demand side management, espe[...]

Indoor navigation and localization are challenging due to the limits of available devices. A number of devices, such as GPS [3], beacons [5], infrared positioning system,[...]

This non-experimental survey study investigated the relationship between the participants’ perception of the existence of resiliency-building strategies in schools and th[...]

Buildings account for 40% of US energy usage. A building’s energy usage is largely determined by decisions made during its design. Such decisions relate to the form and o[...]

Building Information Modeling has become an industry standard for designing, documenting, and collaborating within the architecture, engineering, and construction industr[...]
