متن کاملInvestigating the role of high-rise building shell elements in reducing energy consumption (case example: Isfahan Cascade doctors' residential towers)
Significant energy is used to provide and maintain environmental conditions for thermal comfort in high-rise residential buildings, which largely depends on the components of the shell design. Therefore, to achieve high amounts of energy savings in buildings, high-impact design measures must first be defined and then optimized. This study seeks to answer the question of how the components of th...
متن کاملApplication of Fuzzy Neural Network to Fire Alarm System of High-rise Building
Fire alarm system is important in high-rise building. In this paper, a fire alarm system of high-rise building is designed using fuzzy system theory and neural network. The fuzzy system has superiority in inference and the neural network has superiority in learning. The design parameters of the fuzzy system can be adjusted automatically by combining the fuzzy system with the neural network. The...
