A method based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks is proposed to forecast hourly energy consumption. Using an office building in Shanghai as a case study, data occupancy, weather, and consumption were collected. Daily was analyzed using single-link clustering, days classified into three types. The key input variables significantly influencing consumption, solar radiation, outdoor dry bulb temperature are identified by the Pearson correlation coefficient. By comparing five algorithms,...
Changing energy consumption behavior is a promising strategy to enhance household efficiency and reduce carbon emission. Understanding the role of psychological demographic factors in context energy-conservation behaviors critical promote energy-saving buildings. This study first proposes theoretical framework built on Theory Planned Behavior (TPB). Based collected survey data from 207 families (553 residents) three communities Xi’an, typical city northwest China, research examines how...
Several frameworks are introduced to address occupancy-based building performance. However, the performance predictions obtained using these deviate from real So, this study's aim is represent a new framework for automatic assessment of occupants' comfort and indoor BIM SD-ABM platform. Initially, an office space in Hong Kong, consisting 10 occupants, was considered model construction. The occupancy, data required equations defined model. Essential can be transferred Dynamo-Excel...
The impact of natural hazards on buildings' long-term environmental performance has gained the attention building industry as a result increasing loss due to hazard events devastating built environment around world. This study explores role from perspective performance, well value mitigation. Accordingly, an innovative lifecycle assessment (LCA) framework is proposed that can incorporate damage and convert these data into quantifiable metrics. Moreover, by incorporating impacts attributable...
A complete sustainable-performance analysis that takes into consideration the whole of triple bottom line sustainability is necessary when one needs to balance social, economic, and environmental impacts in an optimal cost-effective design based fundamentally on performance objectives. This study introduces a methodology can translate seismic building damage clearly quantifiable impacts, which be used selecting repair methods appropriate for various states local economic situation. The...
The hospitality industry is an important energy consumer and carbon emitter. Behaviour-driven conservation a strategy with great promise to strengthen the efficiency of hotel buildings. aim this study explore driving psychological factors guests’ energy-saving intentions behaviours. This paper constructs two extensions theory planned behaviour (TPB) personal norms, past behaviours, self-determined motivation explain in research compares explanatory power original TPB structural equation...
Popular methods to deal with computation become strenuous due the optimization demands that develop more complex nowadays. This research aims propose a new optimal algorithm, Dove Swarm Optimization (DSO), adopts foraging behaviors of doves have six benchmark functions expressing DSO performance. By considering competition for forage, is designed ensure most satisfied dove as well optimization, then compared 15 popular algorithms using random initial and lattice values. The results reveal...
Two critical factors that site managers have to control during construction are safety and quality. We envisage the emergence of information communications technology (ICT) systems is great use in effectively promoting quality exploiting synergy between these two disciplines. The objectives this research were investigate relationship through application ICT. A system key performance indicators was compiled order evaluate potential benefits. Safety leading recorded prior after intervention...
