In 1994, ASHRAE began developing a guideline for measuring retrofit savings (GPC-14P). In support ofGuide­ line-14p, ASHRAE initiated RP-1050 to develop a toolkit for calculating linear, change-point linear, and multiple-linear inverse building energy models. The resulting Inverse Model­ ing Toolkit (IMT) can be usedaspart ofaprocedure to measure savings. This paper describes the numerical algo...

Introduction: Brazilian Government's Proinfância Program developed Standardized Preschool Designs (SPDs) to ensure children's access preschool while reducing design costs and shortening bidding construction processes. Local administrations are expected define the SPD’s building orientation in an available site, provides no information regarding SPDs' definition. Methods: This study proposes a s...

Thermal comfort is fundamental to indoor environmental design and operation as well thermal environment evaluation. This paper has reviewed the historic evolution of research during last century using a systematic approach particular focus on adaptive studies. A large number published articles standards guides were collected screened based rigorous search method ensure literature database was b...

The required length of vertical ground heat exchangers (GHX) used in ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems is determined so that the outlet temperature from the GHX remains within certain limits for the worst ground load conditions. These conditions may not necessarily occur after 10 or 20 years of operation, as is usually assumed, but often occur during the first year of operation. The prima...

The classic notion of a win–win situation has key flaw in that it cannot always offer the parties equal amounts winningsbecause each party believes they are winners. In reality, one may win more than other. This strategy is not limited to single product or negotiation; be applied variety situations life. We present novel way measure this paper. proposed method employs fuzzy logic create mathema...
