Abstract Building energy consumption is dominated by lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, whose operation is often inefficient due to inadequate control strategies and unreliable occupa...

Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

IntroductionCitizen science presents a critical pathway for advancing biodiversity monitoring and conservation globally, yet local and indigenous engagement remains limited in many developing countries.MethodsThis study ...

Abstract This study investigates how Supportive Leadership (SL) influences Eco-Friendly Building Adoption (EFBA) through Sustainability Cognition (SC) and Perceived Managerial Capability (PMC) within the Stimulus–Organ...

The shift toward sustainable and intelligent buildings has accelerated the demand for advanced maintenance strategies that reduce energy waste, downtime, and improve reliability. Traditional maintenance approaches (react...

As a key element of human settlements and fundamental features in maps, buildings play a critical role in urban planning and environmental monitoring. Automatically extracting buildings from remote sensing images is of s...

Globally, several countries have begun to promote the application of building information modeling (BIM) technology and implement BIM-based building e-Permit systems. Despite the relatively rapid updates in the field of ...

Office buildings have frequently changed from the past to the present due to historical factors (the collapse of empires, colonialism and expansionist policies, the industrial revolution, wars, the development of technol...

Health equity and the capacity to build it may be better achieved when the approaches of participatory practice and participant observation are more intentionally implemented together in applied, action research. An expl...

Abstract Background Research capacity building programs facilitate clinician engagement with best-practice research. Benefits of research capacity in healthcare locations are far reaching, including individual community ...

Buildings serve as a key indicator of human land use, and building change detection plays a crucial role in urban growth and shrinkage monitoring, land use planning, and urban development assessment and management. Curre...

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are pivotal in addressing the escalating energy and environmental challenges of hot climates, where extreme cooling demands and reliance on fossil fuels intensify carbon footprints. T...

The increase in energy consumption in buildings, particularly in the government sector, poses a serious challenge in the effort to mitigate climate change. This research aims to analyze and optimize the facade design of ...

Remote sensing-derived building footprint data has been widely applied in population mapping. However, nonresidential buildings typically occupy larger areas or volumes, and obtaining building footprint data with type in...

The Comprehensive Environmental Design and Evaluation System (CEDES) is based on a general taxonomic and conceptual framework that allows it to function both as a building sustainability assessment system and as a flexib...

The choice of building façade materiality and composition plays a significant role in indoor and outdoor thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. However, the carbon footprint of most construction materials contrib...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

In this paper, the assessment of the radon exhalation rate of the Modica stone building material, untreated and accelerated aged through salt crystallization test, is reported as a case study. Noteworthy, this constructi...

This study aims to systematically examine the role of influencer marketing in building consumer trust within the context of digital marketing. The rapid growth of social media has transformed marketing strategies, positi...

This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

Amidst Canada’s productivity crisis and widening social inequities, Humber Polytechnic’s Building Brilliance vision proposes that economic and social development must be treated as mutually reinforcing priorities rat...

Prediction of building occupancy is a very important element of structural health monitoring (SHM), smart building systems, and energy management. In this study, a number of visualization tools are used to analyze the pe...

To enter the parking lot behind the Faculty of Engineering building, students, lecturers and other Unand residents usually have to pass through a small road that starts from the front of the KOPMA building to the parking...

Studies carried out for sustainable and low carbon emission rural area design and planning are important in minimising the effects of climate change and protecting the ecology. Especially in rural areas, the choice of lo...
