Intelligent Energy Management System for Office Buildings Using Traffic Control System

Rapid advances in new sciences and technologies result in high penetration of smart devices and services in daily life. In this regard, smart buildings are one of the prominent examples which have dramatically improved not only the accuracy and efficiency of buildings but also the speed of daily routines. Recently, integration of the cutting-edge technologies has been traversing from residentia...

Air movement preferences observed in office buildings.

Office workers' preferences for air movement have been extracted from a database of indoor environmental quality surveys performed in over 200 buildings. Dissatisfaction with the amount of air motion is very common, with too little air movement cited far more commonly than too much air movement. Workers were also surveyed in a detailed two-season study of a single naturally ventilated building....

Space Efficiency in High-rise Office Buildings

Integrating Air Handling Units in Office Buildings for High Performance

Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Combined Horizontal and Vertical Hexagrid Structural System for High-rise Buildings

Summary In this study, the seismic performance of hexagrid structures which are composed of horizontal and vertical hexagrid by using a transitional story, has been investigated. To this end, 10 models of 50-story hexagrid structures were designed. 9 models with horizontal hexagrid cells which transited to vertical cells using a transitional story, and a model of completely horizontal hexagrid ...
