Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zhao, Shenghuan; Pan, Qiang; Gao, Deyuan; Cheng, Jiqiu – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Performance-based architectural design pursues building performance objectives like energy efficiency to guide design decisions. Nevertheless, these informed decisions are usually made according to performance simulation software results, which are quite effort-consuming and tedious. Meanwhile, this low feedback efficiency blocks architects' mind…

Energy Demands and Efficiency Strategies in Data Center Buildings
Direct linkDirect link
Shehabi, Arman – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Information technology (IT) is becoming increasingly pervasive throughout society as more data is digitally processed, stored, and transferred. The infrastructure that supports IT activity is growing accordingly, and data center energy demands have increased by nearly a factor of four over the past decade. This dissertation investigates how…

ENERGY STAR and Green Buildings--Using ENERGY STAR Resources for Green Building Rating Systems: LEED[R], Green Globes[R] and CHPS
Direct linkDirect link
Utebay, Kudret – Educational Facility Planner, 2011
Every building, from the smallest school to the tallest skyscraper, uses energy. This energy is most often generated by burning fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. Existing commercial buildings offer a significant opportunity for low-cost, immediate emissions and energy cost…

Martinez, Luis A. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
In the United States, 21% of all energy is used in residential buildings (40% of which is for heating and cooling homes). Promising improvements in residential building energy efficiency are underway such as the Building America Program and the Passive House Concept. The ability of improving energy efficiency in buildings is enhanced by building…
