The journey to net-zero buildings and high-offset solar PV system projects begins with a compelling story. PV models forecast ...

Suppose you meet with an architect and ask her to design a building. You tell her the design you'd like, the size, and where it will be located. You might also specify the level of energy efficiency ...

With the development of software programs like DOE-2 and EnergyPlus, it's never been easier for Building Teams to evaluate potential energy saving measures for a building project. However, preparing ...

A distinguished scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory who has led the creation of computer models of energy use in nearly every residential and commercial building in the United States will speak ...

Using Ithaca as a case study, the model mapped over 5,000 residential and commercial buildings, incorporating data from geospatial maps, tax records, building permits, census data, and local records.

The group led by Professor Krarti has a wide range of research interests related to improving the energy efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency of both new and existing buildings. Some of the ...

The global energy crisis is an unwelcome wakeup call to make fundamental changes to how we design, build and operate infrastructure. And while there are immediate short-term challenges which need to ...

Researchers at Cornell recently developed software that can model a city's energy usage in just minutes using only a standard laptop. Even better, the software can run simulations of clean energy ...

The primary goal of this research was to minimise the energy consumed by heating and cooling loads in residential buildings in a sub-humid Mediterranean climate zone. This was achieved by optimising ...
