Advancements in residential net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) could significantly reduce
energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. NZEB design considerations broadly …

This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of three-decade research
developments in the field of Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) by using bibliometric …

In accordance with national and international regulations, the energy usage and emissions
of buildings need to be reduced. Both new constructions and retrofit actions should consider …

Building envelope parameters and geometric configurations can considerably influence the
building energy performance. However, determining the best trade-offs of different building …

In the present research, the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) was used to minimize the yearly
energy consumption of an office building in Seattle weather conditions. The GWO is a meta …

Abstract Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used for decision-making in the design
process of buildings and neighbourhoods. Therefore, visualisation of LCA results to support …

Within the context of the Smart City, the need for intelligent approaches to manage and
coordinate the diverse range of supply and conversion technologies and demand …

Abstract Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is considered as the most suitable way to assess the
environmental impact of buildings. Due to its extensiveness and complexity, but also due to …

The paper proposes a multi-objective optimization approach to address the energy design of
the building envelope. A genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented by means of the coupling …

The morphological design of urban blocks greatly affects the outdoor environment.
Currently, performance-based urban and building design relies on a time-consuming …
