Digital tools for the public safety of future cities

In the context of climate change becoming an increasingly challenging dimensional aspect of modern cities, there is an emerging demand for strengthened public safety and resilience in future smart cities. Thus, this chapter explores the potential of digital tools, including Urban Digital Twin, Blockchain, and Swarm Intelligence technologies, in mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events provoked by climat...

Impact of SiO2, TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles incorporation on the thermo-optical ...

In pursuing energy-efficient construction and reduced environmental impact, this study explores the integration of TiO2, SiO2, and ZnO nanoparticles into coatings for thermal-enhanced facade systems. Buildings account for a substantial portion of energy consumption, with facades playing a pivotal role. The impact of nanoparticle type, size, and material combination on thermo-optical performance was investigated...

The Role of Blockchain-Secured Digital Twins in Promoting Smart Energy Performa...

Energy performance-based contracts (EPCs) offer a promising solution for enhancing the energy performance of buildings, which is an overarching step towards achieving Net Zero Carbon Buildings, addressing climate change and improving occupants' comfort. Despite their potential, their execution is constrained by difficulties that hinder their diffusion in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operatio...

Impact of air barriers application in LCA and LCC of naturally ventilated dwell...

Assessing singular elements that constitute the air barrier of a building envelope is quite unfeasible in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study of these solutions through this particular scope is often overlooked. Two major aspects contribute to it: the complexity of the relationships between elements and the reduced embodied impact of these materials in the overall construction or retrofitting works. This wor...

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...

Finishing coatings with reflective nanomaterials: a path to energy-efficient bu...

The growing concern about energy issues in buildings, namely related to cooling needs, has led to the search for new constructive solutions. Thus, there is a continuous increase in the implementation of exterior thermal insulation systems, such as ETICS1 . In the assessment of the durability of these systems, there is a growing demand for hygrothermal comfort studies though very few reports are available regard...
