The building stock in the world consumes approximately 40% of the energy and emits one
third of the total greenhouse gases emissions (GHG). Improving the energy efficiency in …

Buildings consume more than one-third of the world's primary energy. Reducing energy use
and greenhouse-gas emissions in the buildings sector through energy conservation and …

Residential energy consumption accounts for 22% of the total energy consumption in the
US. However, the impacts of local planning policies, such as increasing density and …

The complexity of occupant behavior is one of the major contributors to uncertainty in
building performance simulation. Agent-based modeling (ABM), a computational simulation …

The rapidly growing world energy use already has concerns over the exhaustion of energy
resources and heavy environmental impacts. As a result of these concerns, a trend of green …

This study investigates the roles of trade openness, technological innovation, and energy
price in energy intensity in OPEC countries using panel Autoregressive Distributed Lags …

The instability and fragmentation of the temporary aggregations of many stakeholders in
construction processes are barriers to adopting new technologies. This paper investigates …

Abstract Space heating is the largest energy end use, consuming more than seven
quintillion joules of site energy annually in the US building sector. A few recent studies …

Retail stores are amongst the building typologies with the highest carbon (CI) and energy
intensities (EI). However, previous studies have only explored the EI of food and non-food …

Energy performance gap refers to the discrepancy between the predicted and the realized
energy savings after buildings adopt energy-efficient technologies. This study identifies and …
