Modern wall fencing for energy-efficient frame buildings

Analysis and Evaluation of Holistic Energy Saving for Modern Buildings

The basic developing objects of modern society are low carbon and energy saving. We must change the traditional high energy consuming building ways into modern novel energy saving buildings. In this paper, the development of modern building energy saving technology was reviewed and concluded. On this basis, designing ways and methods for energy saving system was proposed from the points of wall...

Energy Efficient Buildings with Functional Steel Cladding

The aim of the study is to develop a model for the energy balance of buildings that includes the effect from the radiation properties of interior and exterior surfaces of the building envelope. As a first step we have used ice arenas as case study objects to investigate the importance of interior low emissivity surfaces. Measurements have been done in two ice arenas in the north part of Sweden,...

Aggregating Opinions to Design Energy-Efficient Buildings

In this research-in-progress paper we present a new real world domain for studying the aggregation of different opinions: early stage architectural design of buildings. This is an important real world application, not only because building design and construction is one of the world’s largest industries measured by global expenditures, but also because the early stage design decision making has...

Optimal Control of Energy Efficient Buildings

The Effect of Local Damage on Energy Absorption of Steel Frame Buildings During Earthquake

Progressive collapse is a kind of failure in which whole or large part of a structure collapse when a local damage occurs and distributes to other parts. Many researchers focus on the column removal analysis and study of the structure behavior under effect of gravity loads, so these investigations are mostly carried out on the tall building. Earthquake inspections indicate structural element ca...
