Radiative thermoregulation can reduce the energy consumption for heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning (HVAC) in buildings, and therefore contribute substantially to climate …

Building energy modeling (BEM) has become increasingly used in building energy
conservation research. Prototype building models are developed to represent the typical …

Abstract In the United States, the largest knowledge gap concerning embodied carbon in
buildings exists at the whole building level, due to a lack of building-level data at the …

Building operations, which include the energy from electricity and natural gas account for
about 28% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Stakeholders need accurate …

The objective of this work was to define and implement a methodology for establishing
theoretical, science-based embodied carbon benchmarks for single-family, detached …

While cool coatings have recently received much attention for building applications, their
impact on building energy consumption strongly depends upon climatic conditions. Herein …

There are millions of older buildings in the colder climate regions of the world where
envelope upgrades are needed to improve the indoor quality of buildings, reduce energy …

Building archetypes, representative models of building stock, are crucial for precise energy
simulations in Urban Building Energy Modeling. The current widely adopted building …

Despite broad recognition of the need for applying Uncertainty (UA) and Sensitivity Analysis
(SA) to Building-Stock Energy Models (BSEMs), limited research has been done. This article …

Past investigations have assessed gender variations in thermal comfort and adaptation in
different buildings. However, no reported study has evaluated differences in gender …
