This study presents the first large-scale, systematic analysis of adaptive reuse in Sweden, using Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) from 141 778 buildings issued between 2007 and 2023. EPCs provide measured data on building function, conditioned floor area, construction year, and space heating energy use—a dominant contributor to operational emissions in cold-climate regions. The study identifies common conversion pathways and examines how building characteristics and ownership influence reuse patterns. Conversions were most frequent in buildings sized 1 000–5 000  m<sup>2</sup> and constructed between the 1930s and 1970s. Office–to–residential conversions were most common in absolute terms, but normalised data revealed frequent reuse of care facilities and retail spaces. Ownership analysis showed that corporate and public actors are the primary initiators of reuse, while private and cooperative owners are underrepresented. Energy performance analysis revealed that 82 % of converted buildings were associated with reductions in space heating energy use, and 54 % outperformed their non-converted counterparts. The average reduction for converted buildings was 9.6  kWh/m<sup>2</sup>·year, compared to 9.3  kWh/m<sup>2</sup>·year for non-converted buildings; office–to–residential conversions achieved mean savings of up to 19  kWh/m<sup>2</sup>·year. However, sign tests indicated that statistically significant trends were present in only a subset of conversion pairs, suggesting that the direction of energy use change is not uniformly robust. These differences likely reflect a combination of changes in building use intensity and renovation measures introduced during conversion. The findings demonstrate that adaptive reuse is physically feasible, broadly applicable, and, in some cases, associated with measurable energy efficiency gains. Although national in scope, the methodology is transferable to other regions with structured building energy datasets, and the results are relevant for countries with similar climatic conditions and ageing building stocks. This study provides an empirical basis for cautiously integrating adaptive reuse into energy efficiency policy, housing strategy, and long-term decarbonisation planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"345 ","pages":"Article 116108"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144563001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the application of physics-informed neural networks (PINN) to leverage the strengths of both physical and data-driven models for predicting cooling tower performance. To achieve this, four experiments were conducted, resulting in the training of 2700 PINN models and 1900 artificial neural network (ANN) models. The predictive performance of the PINN models, developed through various methodologies, was thoroughly evaluated. The findings revealed that incorporating physical constraints into ANN models to form PINN models significantly decreased prediction errors and reduced model training costs. Based on the experimental results, this study proposes a systematic approach for constructing PINN models for cooling tower performance prediction. Key recommendations include: setting the proportion of physical constraints to 0.1, utilizing training data that constitutes 20 % of the dataset in both quantity and domain length, and ensuring that the distribution of the training data is centered within the prediction dataset. In the case analysis, the mean relative error (MRE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the PINN model developed using the suggested methodology were 2.070 % and 0.309 °C, respectively. In comparison to the ANN model, the MRE improved by 4.712 %, and the RMSE decreased by 0.626 °C.

Unlike standard CDH models that rely solely on ambient temperature and thus underestimate cooling loads, the proposed model incorporates T<sub>sa</sub>, a composite parameter that integrates solar radiation, sky temperature, surface emissivity, and absorptivity, capturing both convective and radiative effects. A ΔT-based sky classification algorithm was developed using 31 years of hourly meteorological data for Muğla, Turkey, to dynamically estimate sky temperatures under varying cloud conditions. The study systematically investigates three indoor setpoint temperatures (18 °C, 22 °C, 26 °C) and multiple emissivity scenarios to quantify mechanical and free cooling demands. The results reveal that using T<sub>sa</sub> instead of ambient temperature can increase the calculated CDH by up to 12 °C during peak summer midday, exposing the limitations of traditional models. At a setpoint of 26 °C and emissivity ε = 0.9, mechanical cooling demand drops by over 30 %, and annual free cooling hours exceed 61,000 °C·h. Even at lower setpoints (18 °C, 22 °C), considerable nighttime and shoulder-season free cooling potential was observed. This hybrid approach bridges empirical simplicity and physical realism, offering a scalable, low-data solution for early design decisions and policy applications. By addressing a key research gap, the exclusion of radiative gains in simplified cooling models, this study provides a climate-responsive methodology to advance sustainable building cooling strategies, especially in Mediterranean and solar-intensive climates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"345 ","pages":"Article 116095"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
