The urgency of addressing building energy consumption's impact on climate change, particularly from fossil fuels, is great significance. This study investigates the environmental and economic aspects different climatic conditions in Canadian regions throughout a building's life cycle. Focusing HVAC systems, choice between electricity, natural gas solar sources. Using whole cycle assessments simulations, research examines 36 scenarios, considering three popular systems with six weather...
Urban flooding has emerged as a significant urban issue in cities worldwide, with China being particularly affected. To effectively manage and mitigate floods, holistic examination of the interaction between subsystems is required to improve flood resilience. However, interactions mechanisms under disaster haven't been addressed adequately previous studies. Therefore, this paper established conceptual framework for illustrating natural-ecological social-economic subsystem considering...
Assessing the energy performance of existing residential buildings (ERB) has been identified as key to improving building efficiency and reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. However, identifying optimal retrofit packages requires a significant amount knowledge modelling, it is time-consuming laborious process. This paper proposed data-driven framework that combines machine learning, multi-objective optimization, multi-criteria decision-making techniques evaluate ERB...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely applied to improve the environmental performance of building sector. However, due complexity LCA results including multitude impact categories, decision makers materials manufacturing industry are grappling with allocating their limited resources most influential categories. The aim this article, therefore, is propose an category selection tool that enables improvement without sacrificing validity results. developed method selects common materials,...
The construction industry is a hazardous with significant injuries and fatalities. Few studies have used data-driven analysis to investigate due accidents. This study aims deploy machine learning (ML) models predict four injury types (ITs): Upper limbs, lower head/neck, back/trunk. A total of 16,878 accident records in Australia were collected fed into several ML algorithms, including fine trees, ensemble boosted xgboost, random forest, two support vector machines, logistic regression. Six...
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are heavily dependent on the use of imported fossil fuels to address their energy needs. This has a negative impact environment, SIDS budgets, and security. Therefore, this study aimed investigate role renewable (RE) as tool for security in SIDS. In regard, using VOSviewer, widely known software tool, two bibliometric analyses were performed with focus literature that explores intertwined issues: (i) links between RE security; (ii) implications The...
Abstract Smart city (SC) and resilient (RC) have been studied practiced over the years in terms of increasing urban problems disasters. However, there is a large overlap between their meanings relationships. With an concern for both SC RC development hazard mitigation, review was conducted to explore differences connections with scientometric analysis. There are far more literatures about than RC, very few papers discuss together. The research trend, category, hotspots from clusters...
With the rapid development of urbanization worldwide, there is a large volume neighborhoods that need to be renewed with various problems such as poor building performance, few public facilities, congested road traffic, unequal living standards, disappearing community culture, and deprived environments. Performance evaluations are considered useful tools for ensuring outcomes sustainable renewal. Although many research works have assessed performances urban renewal projects, evaluations,...
Many construction activities generate fine particles and severely threaten the physical health of workers. Although many dust control measures are implemented in industry, occupational risks still exist. In order to improve level, this study proposes a new method reducing pollution through reasonable site layout plan. This is based on field measurement diffusion law. The law can be fitted monitoring data. With law, average concentration exposed workers different layouts simulated. addition,...
Central management of fire stations and traditional optimization strategies are vulnerable to response time, a single point failure, workload balancing, cost problems. This is further intensified by the absence modern communication systems comprehensive framework for firefighting operations. These problems motivate use new technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with capability transport extinguishing materials reach remote zones. Forest in regions can also benefit from...
Purpose Whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) is a key methodology to reduce the environmental impacts in sector. Research studies usually face challenges presenting comprehensive LCA results due complexity of assessments at level. There dearth methods for systematic evaluation and optimization WBLCA performance design stage. The study aims develop framework based on proposed method evaluate improve Design/methodology/approach development with detailed processes EN 15978 standard....
