The building sector, responsible for 40% of global energy consumption, faces increasing demands sustainability and efficiency. Accurate consumption forecasting is essential to optimise performance reduce environmental impact. This study introduces a hybrid machine learning framework grounded in Sparse, Interpretable, Transparent (SIT) modelling enhance management. Leveraging the REFIT Smart Home Dataset, integrates occupancy pattern analysis, appliance-level prediction, probabilistic...

In recent years, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 epidemic, irregular closed school life and frequent online teaching have negatively impacted mental health academic performance many college students. Doing horticultural activities is an effective way to promote physical enhance performance. This paper explores relationship between participation, self-efficacy positive characters under perspective disciplinary integration, with a view promoting status students application therapy on campuses....

AbstractThis study describes technology that melts snow using the waste heat of urban sewage and reclaims snowmelt on site a double subsurface constructed snow-melting system, allowing organic integration utilization landscape design in cities with long winters. This system highlights thermal energy cycle, which underground sewer pipes considerable amount low-temperature they contain are utilized along small-temperature-rise pump to ultimately melt snow. The temperature winter usually ranges...

In winter, cold cities have a severe shortage of water resources. Snow is potential resource, and the effective classification recycling snow is, therefore, significant for addressing sustainable utilization urban resources in during winter months. this study, quality pollutant composition collected along transect across typical street were analyzed to develop an on-site treatment technique based on water. The levels suspended substances, COD, salt, ammonia, oil from streets relatively high....

As a significant part of the city, pollution control and resource recovery urban street rainwater are attached with more importance. Based on analysis situation, controlling measures methods proposed suitable for status street. Meanwhile in this paper existing utilized models summarized to put forward effective suggestions about comprehensive utilization plan future.

Abstract Water shortages and pollution in China are severe situations caused by rapid economic development urbanization. The current water-conservation policies focus on implementing new technologies management strategies at important spatial nodes while neglecting the significance of response from community public. In this paper, elements that influence public participation water conservation within analyzed divided into three levels: internal world residents, different individual...

AbstractSalinization of the soil in Daqing China is main result its geographical structure and climate condition. Oil exploration overgrazing anthropogenic factors lead to concentrated distribution form plague, which threatens inhabitation comfort sustainable land use city environment as oil operation grazing zone expand. The treatment subsequent development saline/alkali are extremely crucial curtail environmental desertification promote industries during urbanization. This study compares...

The built environment of cities has increasingly affected the travel mode residents and led to changes in energy consumption, which is crucial maintaining urban sustainability. Ningbo a typical representative urbanization on east coast China, its consumption period rapid growth. Therefore, using survey data 22,112 traffic trip samples from nine streets Ningbo, this paper establishes regression analysis model, systematically analyzes relationship between domestic multiple dimensions, reveals...

ABSTRACT The introduction of horticultural therapy to university campuses has gradually become an effective way promote college students’ interaction with nature, improve their health and increase the quality study environment. However, many current studies have focused on measuring evaluating physical mental benefits programmes for students, while less attention been paid exploring how implement such in a planned sustainable manner. main purpose this is construct evaluation system...

ABSTRACT Evacuation behavior of social small groups in buildings is a popular research topic. There usually only one group type, such as “leader-follower”, most evacuation studies. This paper conducts empirical studies on the behavioral characteristics evacuees order to determine types and their decision-making mechanism. Then, exit speed strategies different are obtained. Moreover, we present an improved force model that considers decisions. Finally, verify effectiveness proposed method,...

Hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAMs) contained in oilfield wastewater increase the difficulty of oil-water separation and subsequent treatment.Besides, residual HPAMs are detrimental to nervous reproductive systems animals.Biodegradation is a potential solution, which can also efficiency treatment plants lower their operating costs.This study shows that with addition an isolated HPAM-degrading bacterial strain (Clostridium bifermentans H5), viscosity decreased as result (1) biodegradation side...

Abstract The indoor healing landscape has a positive influence on people’s mind and physical health, indicated from the studies. This research aims to discuss residents’ emotional problems during home quarantine under context of COVID-19 put forward strategies construct residential system based disaster psychology, which is conducive relieve problems. Firstly, general introduction includes adverse effects minds health major public emergencies function landscape; secondly, questionnaires are...

“Soundscape” is defined as “an acoustic environment perceived or experienced and/or understood by a person people, in context.” The research focuses on the physical properties of sound, paying attention to relationship between soundscape and people. Sports provide comprehensive context, including athletes, their behavior, environment, spectators, other elements. Soundscape sports has many important functions, such indicating movement process, promoting positive emotions, enhancing...

ABSTRACT In Daqing, years of oil exploration have led to severe pollution, aggravating salinization particularly. In this study, the concept terraced landscape design combined with T. ambiguum Bieb. and microbial inoculums is proposed as a restoration technology for saline alkali land, aim removing oily substances recovering soil fertility. The 454 high-throughput sequencing was deployed analyze community salinity alkalinity changes land. removal rate using 94.7 % after seventy days....

Facing the world wide crisis of water resources and deterioration ecological environment, reclaimed water-based landscape design living quarter is a new kind study with multi-meanings, combination saving, economical benefit social benefit. With on integration waste treatment technology landscapes, paper makes total concerns about spatial layout, aesthetic features, adequate building procedures extension ways. By these, probes strategies promoting patterns design.

Based on the extensive in-depth research traditional residences in Heilongjiang Province, construction techniques and characteristics of Han ethnic group's residences, Manchu minority's Korean which are literature value application value, stated. These have gone through various degrees damage, destruction abandonment. Research detailed description can provide valuable basic data that be referred to for residences' protection, inheritance technology integration innovation current situation China.
