There has been a growing demand for the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of as-built
pipelines. The as-built 3D pipeline reconstruction process consists of the measurement of an …

The demand for three-dimensional (3D) modeling of as-built or as-is pipelines that occupy
large areas in operating plants has been growing in recent times. In practice, although …

Urban agriculture requires local water to replace'hydrologic externalities' associated with
food produced outside of the local area, with an accompanying shift of the water footprint …

Within the urban environment the building sector typically accounts for around half of the
total energy used, with the majority of this demand driven by thermal services including hot …

An effective three-dimensional (3D) data representation is required to assess the spatial
distribution of the photovoltaic potential over urban building roofs and facades using 3D city …

The estimation of solar heat gain via vertical fenestration is important in energy-efficient
building design and operation especially for subtropical Hong Kong. Being one of the most …

Increasing population and urbanisation threaten sustainable urban development due to
increased resource consumption and emissions. As buildings are one of the largest energy …

Driven by the societal needs and improvement in sensor technology and image processing
techniques, remote sensing has become an essential geospatial tool for understanding the …

Shadows cast by tall trees and buildings in urban areas can dramatically reduce the direct
solar radiation reaching building surfaces. Accurate and detailed 3D modeling of buildings …

This work focuses on the impact of solar energy on the heating and cooling of buildings. The
sun can be the primary driver for building cooling loads as well as a significant source of …
