The building and construction industry generates 40% of annual global CO2 emissions, aside from other environmental social impacts, while it contributes to economic societal development as a whole. Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) is proven methodology assess the environmental, impacts product system over its lifecycle. Applying LCSA domain not trivial, needs gather connect data across several fields. A clear research gap was identified in lack integration completeness carry out...
The electricity consumption related to the civil sector (residential and tertiary) in most developed countries has considerably increased during last years, especially summer season. One of reasons for this rise can be found drastic growth sales mono multi-split systems air-conditioning. In context is very important assess correlation between demand utilization electric appliances (especially airconditioners). This paper describes a model based on an Elman Artificial Neural Network (ANN)...
Agent-based models (ABMs) have been adopted to simulate different kinds of complex systems, from biological systems coupled human-natural (CHANS). In particular, when used man-managed they allow considering human behavioural aspects within the modelling framework. On other hand, environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become an acknowledged tool in research, industry and policy assess systems' sustainability. More recently, LCA is being applied potential impacts large scale actions...
Given the complexity and interconnection of different aspects involved in building evaluation, one most relevant, challenging, research topics is integration domain models (such as thermal comfort, indoor environmental quality occupant comfort) to effectively describe inform improvement strategies for behaviour performance a stock. Currently, this problem unsolved with only study attempting integrate energy simulation life cycle assessments (separately, both practices are utilised facilitate...
