This paper presents a comprehensive review of all significant research applying
computational optimisation to sustainable building design problems. A summary of common …

The addition of phase change material (PCM) to the building envelope can improve the
indoor thermal comfort and save building energy consumption. In the application of PCM …

The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

Artificial lighting is one of the major electricity consumption in commercial buildings and
consumed about 17% of the total electrical energy. Therefore, there is a great potential to …

This paper presents a method to incorporate personalized visual preferences in real-time
optimal daylighting control without using general discomfort-based assumptions. A …

With the rapid development of underground spaces and manned cabins, the design of
enclose-space has received attention. Humans working in enclosed-space for a long period …

The energy consumed by artificial lighting represents a vast amount of total energy
consumption of a building. LED luminaires combine many advantages and they are …

The design of buildings has become a complex and multidisciplinary problem involving
multiple conflicting objectives as architects and designers address competing technical …

Most thermal radiation problems are analyzed in a “forward” manner, in which the aim is to
predict the response of a system based on well-defined boundary conditions. In practice …

The design of an indoor lighting system for a sustainable building should comply with the
recommended maximum limit of lighting power density. The occupants' visual comfort and …
