This paper presents research of energy performance analysis performed by Building Energy Management System (BEMS). BEMS is a system/platform integrated with building and it an enormous improvement in process to develop nearly zero buildings (nZEB). Near consumption stands for efficient idea independent their function during life time. Here, monitoring regulation cooling demand developed. regula...

Switzerland’s widely adopted spatial policy rejects the use of new land in favour promoting densification existing buildings or brownfield developments. However, to date there has not been an assessment volumetric building reserves that are still available within current regulatory framework. This paper addresses this lacuna using a case study agglomeration Lausanne. An automated model with par...

This paper is concerned with the necessary conditions for the emergence of cogitative buildings. A cogitative building is defined here as one that possesses a multi-faceted representation of its context (site, microclimate), its physical constituents (elements, components, systems), and its processes (occupancy presence and actions, indoor climate controls). Moreover, a cogitative building can ...

This research in progress paper introduces a research initiative focusing on bank employee risk behaviour to mitigate IT operational risks in Austrian banks. The study focuses on the role of IT risk culture and internal controls in relation to employee risk behaviour and the effectiveness of different awareness building practices in banking companies in response to international banking regulat...

This study explores a multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA) procedure to optimize the building envelope during the initial design, where a significant number of choices are fixed and have a determining impact on the future building cost and use. The objective of the design method is with respect to building costs, for the building construction and use, and energy performance improvement. An int...

in this research, we investigated basic symptoms of syndrome in illnesses of sick buildings. we designed a questionnaire and asked from male of dormitory residence. questions of the questionnaire were more about known symptoms of buildings (shortness of breath, inflammation, swelling and burning eyes, runny nose, malaise and fatigue, drowsiness, headache) exacerbations time intervals in the res...

The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...

This paper is focused on analyzing the characteristics of firms that have environmental performance beyond requirements regulation in protection. To identify such characteristics, we propose a value and context model building paradigms as conceptualized by Dryzek’s discourse theory. Using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) to analyze data collected from multi-respondent survey Argentinean pol...
