Early design decisions have a considerable influence on energy use and occupants' comfort
in buildings. Balancing these two design aspects is extremely important in educational …

Researchers typically use performance analysis tools to support the design decisions of PV
systems on urban scales. However, performance simulation tools are mostly used for …

This work presents a novel methodology for solving multi-objective facility location problems
(mo-FLPs) with the focus on public emergency service stations. Our study is one of a few …

The shortage of energy along with environmental issues call for Distributed Energy
Resources (DERs) to be employed in recent distribution systems. In Microgrids (MGs) …

This study presents a real-world multi-objective facility location analytics model for
determining the number and locations of Temporary Emergency Service Centers (TESCs) …

In multi-objective optimisation problems, optimal decisions need to be made in the presence
of trade-offs among conflicting objectives which may sometimes be expressed in different …

By integrating renewable energy systems (RESs) into buildings, Building-Integrated
Photovoltaics (BIPV) reshape the demand–supply relationship, offering substantial benefits …

Buildings' envelope design decisions are usually determined by the architect or designer
from the early stages of design. These decisions have a major impact on the comfort …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is a promising and effective energy generation resource to produce
on-site electricity that covers part of buildings' demand on urban scales. Design optimization …

In many wetlands the timing and duration of inundation determine ecological characteristics
and the provision of ecosystem services; however, wetland conservation decisions often rely …
