A building system is highly nonlinear and commonly includes a variety of parameters
ranging from the architectural design to the building mechanical and energy system. Serving …

The urban context is often simplified or neglected in Building Energy Models (BEMs) due to
the difficulties of taking accurately into account all the heat fluxes emanating from the …

Three biopolymers were tested as rammed earth (RE) stabilizers, evaluating their impact on
the hygrothermal behavior from material to building scale. Hygrothermal characterization …

A robust multi-step TBM attitude prediction approach named convolutional gated-recurrent-
unit neural network (C-GRU) is proposed in this research and the random balance design …

This study presents a state-of-the-art review of the evolution of probabilistic hygrothermal
assessments of building envelopes. First, relevant literature was identified by employing a …

Although hygrothermal properties of rammed earth represent great potential for improving
thermal comfort during hot summers, still little knowledge is available about this topic. The …

Proprotors for tilt-wing advanced air mobility aircraft are often optimised without considering
the transition from hover to cruise. This paper presents an optimisation method, which …

Mortar extrusion during bricklaying, resulting from suboptimal workmanship, may act as a
bridge linking clay brick masonry claddings and adjacent layers (eg, insulation or weather …

Building performance optimization is effective in searching for optimal design solutions, but
its result may be unrobust with uncertainties in input parameters, especially for form design …

In the field of building performance simulation, there is a growing interest for the use of
sensitivity analysis (SA) and uncertainty analyses (UA), that enable to estimate the …
