Most-cited papers in Science and Technology for the Built Environment

A review of fault detection and diagnostics methods for building systems

Woohyun Kim, Srinivas Katipamula · 27 Apr 2017

The current article provides a summary of automated fault detection and diagnostics studies published since 2004 that are relevant to the commercial buildings sector. The review updates a previous review conducted in 2004 and published in 2005, and it categorizes automated fault detection and diagnostics methods into three groups. The examples of automated fault detection…

Design and optimization of form and facade of an office building using the genetic algorithm

Zahra Jalali, Esmatullah Noorzai, Shahin Heidari · 28 May 2019

One of the most important sustainable building design goals is energy performance throughout the life cycle of the building. In this article, the optimization of an office building facade has been performed using a genetic algorithm with the sustainability approach. Multi-objective optimization using an The Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA-2) algorithm gives the amount of…

Design of a hydraulically driven compressive elastocaloric cooling system

Suxin Qian, Yunlong Geng, Yi Wang et al. · 31 Mar 2016

This article presents the design of elastocaloric cooling system driven by hydraulic actuators. Ni-Ti tubes under axial compressive loading mode are used in the system to provide cooling and heating. Those Ni-Ti tubes are enclosed in four identical beds, which are driven by two one-way hydraulic cylinders. Operated under the single-stage reverse Brayton cycle, the…

Smart grid energy flexible buildings through the use of heat pumps and building thermal mass as energy storage in the Belgian context

Gabrielle Masy, Emeline Georges, Clara Verhelst et al. · 18 Aug 2015

The management of electricity grids requires the supply and demand of electricity to be in balance at any point in time. To this end, electricity suppliers have to nominate their electricity bids on the day-ahead electricity market so that the forecast supply and demand are in balance. One way to reduce the cost of electricity…

Application of deep Q-networks for model-free optimal control balancing between different HVAC systems

Ki Uhn Ahn, Cheol Soo Park · 15 Oct 2019

A deep Q-network (DQN) was applied for model-free optimal control balancing between different HVAC systems. The DQN was coupled to a reference office building: an EnergyPlus simulation model provided by the U.S. Department of Energy. The building was air-conditioned with four air-handling units (AHUs), two electric chillers, a cooling tower, and two pumps. EnergyPlus simulation…

Science and Technology for the Built Environment template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Science and Technology for the Built Environment format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Science and Technology for the Built Environment template.
