A new software tool developed by Cornell researchers can model a small city's building energy use within minutes on a standard laptop, then run simulations to help policymakers prioritize the most ...

Moving towards modernity implies questioning established concepts. Today, we are witnessing several projects and approaches in architecture that explore alternatives to energy-intensive building ...

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 ...

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 ...

A model created by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh could help city officials make more effective energy policies and encourage businesses to use less energy. The map includes 3D models of ...

Researchers used a supercomputer to model every building serviced by the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga -- all 178,368 of them -- and discovered through more than 2 million simulations that EPB ...

Two years ago, voters in South Carolina’s Berkeley County School District, which serves nearly 31,000 students in an area just north of Charleston, passed a $198 million bond referendum targeted at ...

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 ...
