Buildings consume more than one third of the world’s total primary energy. Weather plays a unique and significant role as it directly affects the thermal loads and thus energy performance of buildings. The traditional simulated energy performance using Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather...

Space heating is the largest energy end use, consuming more than seven quintillion joules of site energy annually in the U.S. building sector. A few recent studies showed discrepancies in simulated space-heating energy use among different building energy modeling programs, and the simulated...

Using portfolio analysis and individual detailed case studies, we studied the energy performance and drivers of energy use in 51 high-performance office buildings in the U.S., Europe, China, and other parts of Asia. Portfolio analyses revealed that actual site energy use intensity (EUI) of the...

Consider a probability measure μ supported by a regular geodesic ball in a manifold. For any p≥1 we define a stochastic algorithm which converges almost surely to the p-mean ep of μ. Assuming furthermore that the functional to minimize is regular around ep, we prove that a natural...

The research status, development and trend of oasis subject were analyzed, and related countermeasures to develop oasis subject were put forward.

Purpose - There is no proposed solution to address the unresolved issues of constructing the Chinese university intellectual property information service system (IPISS) to promote the whole process service efficiency of IP creation, utilization, protection and management. The purpose of this...
