The building stock is responsible for a large share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions,therefore,it is critical to promote building retrofit to achieve the proposed carbon and energy neutrality ...
Accurate and reliable load forecasting is crucial for ensuring the security and stability of the power grid.This paper proposes a combined prediction method based on Empirical Wavelet Transform(EWT)and Autoformer time...
Fault detection and diagnosis(FDD)approaches comprise three main pillars:model-based,knowledge-based,and data-driven strategies.Data-driven approaches prioritise operational data and do not necessitate in-depth unders...
This paper presents a comparative study on the thermal comfort of traditional and contemporary houses in Byblos,Lebanon.With climate change affecting indoor environments and potentially leading to increased energy con...
As part of a broad strategy to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming,many countries are requiring all new buildings to have net-zero energy use.This requires that on-site energy use not exce...
