Towards an airtightness compliance tool based on machine learning models for na...

Physical models and probabilistic applications often guide the study and characterization of natural phenomena in engineering. Such is the case of the study of air change rates (ACHs) in buildings for their complex mechanisms and high variability. It is not uncommon for the referred applications to be costly and impractical in both time and computation, resulting in the use of simplified methodologies and setup...

BIM framework for the specification of information requirements in energy-relat...

Purpose This paper aims to further the discussion on Building Information Modelling (BIM) legal requirements, providing a framework with key energy parameters capable of supporting the Appointing Party in the definition of the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) for a BIM project appointment. The EIR is described in ISO-19650-1:2018 as a fundamental step in the information delivery cycle. Design/methodology...

Indoor hygrothermal conditions and quality of life in social housing: A compari...

The indoor hygrothermal conditions can affect human related quality of life. This subject is of special relevance in the context of social housing, which are frequently overcrowded and lack appropriate heating, ventilation and insulation. In this research, two social housing neighbourhoods were studied in depth: one rehabilitated and another non-rehabilitated. In-situ measurement campaigns, one in winter and on...

Methodology for detection of occupant actions in residential buildings using in...

Occupant behaviour is the subject of the current study. The number of studies in this area has been increasing over the past decade. Monitoring systems are frequently used to collect occupancy data, behaviour drivers and effects of occupant actions. However, installation of such systems is complex, and their optimal placement to obtain the intended data correctly, without disturbing the normal dwelling use, is ...

A discussion about thermal comfort evaluation in a bus terminal

Transport stations are distributive hubs composed of transient spaces, often not fully indoor, where most users spend time waiting to travel or waiting for travelers. The aim of this article is to present a comparison between thermal comfort evaluation methods applied in a free running bus terminal located in a mild climate country. Data was collected in field measurements and surveys were performed on 240 pass...

Knowledge discovery of indoor environment patterns in mild climate countries ba...

Temperature and relative humidity values, from a sample of 24 flats with homogeneous architectural features and social strata, were continuously measured during the heating season and a typical summer period. The results proved the existence of discomfort during the heating season, revealing energy poverty patterns, but at the same time sensible differences that could only be explained by user actions. This led...
