Uncertainty analysis in building energy assessment has become an active research field
because a number of factors influencing energy use in buildings are inherently uncertain …

The building energy performance gap (EPG) seriously restricts the improvement of building
energy efficiency. Currently, although many studies on EPG, it is not yet fully understood and …

Buildings are responsible for 36% of CO 2 emissions in the United States and will thus be
integral to climate change mitigation; yet, no studies have comprehensively assessed the …

Energy efficiency in new building construction has become a key target to lower nation-wide
energy use. The goals of this paper are to estimate life-cycle energy savings, carbon …

This study explores the potential environmental and energy benefits of using activated
carbon fiber (ACF) filters for air cleaning in HVAC systems. The parallel aims for the air …

This study estimates some of the benefits and costs of implementing scenarios that improve
indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in the stock of US office buildings. The scenarios include …

One of the primary objectives of sustainable manufacturing is to minimize energy
consumption in its manufacturing processes. A strategy of energy saving is to adapt new …

This paper provides quantitative estimates of benefits and costs of providing different
amounts of outdoor air ventilation in US offices. For four scenarios that modify ventilation …

The diversity of non-domestic buildings at urban scale poses a number of difficulties to
develop models for large scale analysis of the stock. This research proposes a probabilistic …

Currently, although energy conservation related research in buildings is a matter of great
urgency in the context of an ever more serious energy crisis, people seem to pay more …
