4.2. Adaption of selected robustness assessment methods in the present context This section illustrates the selected methods using a simple example with annual overheating hours (h/a) as the only performance indicator; in Section 4.3, a more realistic case with multiple performance criteria is conside...
3.4.1. Energy in comprehensive assessment system for Built environment efficiency The current sustainability assessment tools for urban areas such as CASBEE, BREEAM, and LEED have given little importance (about 14–18%) to resources and energy. For example, 45% of CASBEE categories deal with the...

For example, the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna and Mekong deltas use strategic delta plans to identify risk hotspots and guide decision-making. These deltas also increase resilience at a community level by supporting communities to diversify their livelihoods to respond to changing risks and land ...
The short answer is, many of them do not. Many institutions have no formal seismic risk policy to screen out higher-risk properties, and even within those that do have a policy,Seismic Risk Assessmentscan be a source of confusion.
This technology was applied to the financial sector using data from 3,800 companies. High durability learning was able to estimate the accuracy of credit risk models within a 3% margin of error. The technology succeeded in maintaining the accuracy of the assessment system at 89%, markedly above...
For example, close collaboration with suppliers can lead to better quality materials, and a good relationship with regulatory bodies can facilitate easier compliance with safety and quality standards. Moreover, strong stakeholder relationships can increase trust and credibility, invaluable assets in the ...
For example, these biases could exist in the research categories and each article's relationship with the project life cycle. In addition, Fig. 6 is the framework obtained by summarising the articles in this field and adding personal understanding, which may have limited usability due to the ...
