Regarding climate change, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is well-known. As building heating contributes to a high share of total energy consumption, which relies mainly on fossil energy sources, improving heating efficiency is…
We investigate the basic thermal, mechanical and structural properties of body centred cubic iron ($\alpha$-Fe) at several temperatures and positive loading by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations in conjunction with the embedded-atom…
Feature selection (FS) is a process which attempts to select more informative features. In some cases, too many redundant or irrelevant features may overpower main features for classification. Feature selection can remedy this problem and…
A support structure is required to successfully create structural parts in the powder bed fusion process for additive manufacturing. In this study, we present the topology optimization of a support structure that improves the heat…
Buildings consume over 40% of the total energy in modern societies, and improving their energy efficiency can significantly reduce our energy footprint. In this paper, we present \texttt{WattScale}, a data-driven approach to identify the…
Fire protection mainly takes place through physical or chemical pathways or both of them. The thermal diffusivity is one of the basic thermophysical properties which can connect the chemical structure. It is well-known in the literature…
Current seismic design codes primarily rely on the strength and displacement capacity of structural members and do not account for the influence of the ground motion duration or the hysteretic behavior characteristics. The energy-based…
The building climate industry and its influence on energy consumption have consequences on the environment due to the emission of greenhouse gasses. Improving the efficiency of this sector is essential to reduce the effect on climate…
This paper presents the coupling of a building thermal simulation code with genetic algorithms (GAs). GAs are randomized search algorithms that are based on the mechanisms of natural selection and genetics. We show that this coupling allows…
The prediction of mechanical and thermal properties of polymers is a critical aspect for polymer development. Herein, we discuss the use of transfer learning approach to predict multiple properties of linear polymers. The neural network…
The paper presents a sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the optimal partitioning of a district heating network for distributed control. Leveraging a physics-based, distributed model predictive control framework and a…
This paper presents a computationally efficient method for the optimal design of silica aerogel porous material systems, balancing thermal insulation performance with mechanical stability under stress concentrations. The proposed approach…
Thermal preferences vary from person to person and may change over time. The main objective of this paper is to sequentially pose intelligent queries to occupants in order to optimally learn the indoor air temperature values which maximize…
We numerically study thermodynamic and structural properties of the one-component Gaussian core model (GCM) at very high densities. The solid-fluid phase boundary is carefully determined. We find that the density dependence of both the…
Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAC) systems are often the most significant contributor to the energy usage, and the operational cost, of large office buildings. Therefore, to understand the various factors affecting the energy usage,…
Energy efficient buildings require high quality standards for all their technical equipment to enable their efficient and successful operation and management. Building simulations enable engineers to design integrated HVAC systems with…
Buildings sector is one of the major consumers of energy in the United States. The buildings HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, whose functionality is to maintain thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ), account…
In this paper, an energy conservation measure that optimizes the planning of heating and cooling systems for tertiary sector buildings is proposed. It consists of a model-based predictive control approach that employs a grey-box model built…
In office spaces, the ratio of energy consumption of air conditioning and lighting for maintaining the environment comfort is about 70%. On the other hand, many people claim being dissatisfied with the temperature of the air conditioning.…
The thermal accommodation coefficient $\alpha$ has been assumed, although lacking any experimental proof, to be near unity for most gases so far, which denotes no influence. However, it plays a contributing role in the field of the…
