PERFORMANCE LABELLING OF BUILDINGS

Energy Performance Visualization of Buildings

Electricity consumption of a building can be broken down into three different categories based on their end use. These categories are plug load, lighting load and mechanical load. This break down of electricity consumption is enabled by a Building Management System (BMS) which is powered by a collection of sensors in the building and a software. However, in the building management industry it i...

Immuno-gold Labelling of Chlamydia trachomatis

Background Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as an important cause of preventable sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. It is known to be of an obligate intracellular nature and enters its target cells via an endocytic process. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is one of the main candidates for the attachment and entry of chlamydia to the host cells we have tried to label the epitopes...

Automatic Semantic Labelling of 3D Buildings Based on Geometric and Topological Information

The lack of suitable information in 3D models of buildings and cities is still a strong limitation for the increasing number of applications requiring the 3D data. The latter are often obtained from acquisition or modeling processes during which the geometry is well preserved, but the topological and semantic information are lost. We present a new approach to enrich a purely geometric model wit...

User Behavior and Energy Performance in Buildings

This paper presents the results of a recent study of people's presence and their interactions with the buildings' environmental systems in a number of buildings in Austria. The intention was to observe user control actions pertaining to building systems while considering the indoor and outdoor environmental conditions under which those actions occurred. The results of this study suggest that su...
