Innovative technologies often incentivized through prescriptive utility energy efficiency programs include advanced occupancy and vacancy controls that work with lighting and HVAC systems, daylighting controls, intelligent power strips, smart plugs, and BMS. The Government of India developed 'The Energy ...
and evidence-based design. Chapters introduce the context of high-performancebuildings, present overviews of NZEB, discusses the performance thresholds for efficient buildings and cover materials, micro-grid and smart grids, construction quality, performance monitoring, post occupancy evaluation, and more....
As applied to electrical power and wiring: electrical service in use or in place for a period of 90 17 CHAPTER 3 USE AND OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION The following use and occupancy classifications are added or replaced in Chapter 3 of the International Building Code: SECTION 303 ASSEMBLY GROUP A ...
Irregularly shaped wood created as waste from construction is considered challenging to reuse because of its complicated geometry and a lack of well-defined design methods. Here, we propose a sustainable building design and construction framework as a sy
In turn, occupancy is a significant aspect that is related to a considerable amount of applications for energy management and personal comfort [31,122,145]. Some stand-alone aspects of a building’s energy control, such as energy load as such, or lighting, can also be a focus of an appli...
Occupier electrical loads and domestic hot water demands depend upon user needs and occupancy density but tend to be proportional to floor area and hence are often quantified in terms of energy intensity (kWh/m2 of floor area). Typical energy intensities for different types of buildings in the ...
Comprehensive research by fire protection experts has determined the average combustible content normally present within any given occupancy. In addition, evacuation times, the time required for the contents to be consumed by fire, and the resulting temperature rise have been quantified. Fire-resistance...
Classifying building occupancy using building laws and geospatial information: A case study in Bangkok. Int. J. Disaster Risk Reduct. 2017, 24, 419–427. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Pedregosa, F.; Varoquaux, G.; Gramfort, A.; Michel, V.; Thirion, B.; Grisel, O.; Blondel, M.; ...
Ventilation rate (0.9 dm3/sm2, corresponding to 1.1 h−1), temperature setpoints and internal gains (for appliances and occupancy) are the same as adopted by Vasaturo et al. [64] and set according to the Dutch national guidelines [89,91] and building code [92], and in accordance with...
As a non-limiting example of a building, the calculations can be: occupancy calculation, utilization calculation, monthly energy use per square foot calculation, and the like. As a non-limiting example, comparisons can include: energy use compared to occupancy over one month, building maintenance ...
