Just as energy and thermal comfort challenges are unique to each climate and built environment, the solutions to address these issues should be optimized for their context. We introduce a novel integrated data-driven and building energy simulation method that incorporates urban context, satellite imagery, and socioeconomic data to analyze multi-scale retrofit scenarios across disparate communities. We apply this method to case studies in New York City and Los Angeles to analyze energy and thermal comfort inequities across distinct climate zones and urban morphologies. Through parametric analysis, we demonstrate the efficacy of multi-scale retrofits at improving building performance and reducing existing thermal inequities. Our research shows that retrofit effectiveness is influenced by the microclimatic changes induced by the urban context and existing infrastructural inequity. For example, instantaneous building cooling energy demand in a disadvantaged community of Los Angeles is reduced more due to window retrofits (around 30 kWh) than by a greenspace retrofit (around 3 kWh). Greenspace installation dissipates more heat overnight and in the early morning, whereas window retrofits reduce solar heat gain during the day, showing the different heat reduction pathways that retrofits can achieve. Although the window retrofits lead to an order of magnitude higher utility cost savings ($70 savings from windows vs $9 for greenspace and $12 for reduced cars), the district-scale retrofits show promising pathways for reducing the cost burden across all residents.

The concept is a double-skin façade where the outer skin includes a straight cut kirigami-inspired adaptive component. Controllable actuation of the kirigami-inspired section opens the outer skin for ventilation while also changing the orientation of the outer surface for solar tracking. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the potential benefits for this concept integrated within a building façade for solar energy harvesting, air changes, and indoor temperature control. As such, a computational study is used to estimate the proposed facade concept's performance within various generalized building-environment scenarios. The methodology is detailed to computationally estimate the potential environmental performance of this concept with respect to solar harvesting with adhered solar panels, as well as air changes and HVAC cost for associated interior spaces. The example scenarios include various building components, from a single room to multiple building stories, and two geographic locations with significantly different environmental conditions, and both daily and yearly performance estimates are shown. The component is most effective when the outdoor temperature is near to the desired indoor temperature and wind speeds are mild, but can still reduce HVAC usage for more disparate temperatures. For example, in the scenarios shown the component can eliminate HVAC use for a <span><math><mn>5</mn><mspace></mspace><mi>°</mi></math></span>C difference between outdoor and indoor temperature and reduces HVAC usage for temperature differences up to <span><math><mn>15</mn><mspace></mspace><mi>°</mi></math></span>C.

In this work, we perform an investigation on the circadian effects of three-primary (red R, green G, and blue B, also denoted as RGB) LED based self-luminous displays (such as emerging mini-LED or micro-LED based displays) considering the users with different ages. With the increment of peoples’ ages from 1 year to 100 years, the optical transmittance of humans’ eyes may decrease due to the aging of their body functions.

However, the noise level of these ACUs can disrupt the learning environment. Consequently, we propose an approach based on machine learning that is able to distinguish between the different acoustic situations in a classroom, and to dynamically adjust the air volume flow accordingly. To this end, the present algorithm was trained with sound recordings in four different scenarios in a classroom. Both Mel spectrogram and Cochleagram are considered and applied for the task of training the convolutional neural networks (CNN) model, thus enhancing published works in the literature, which only considered the Mel spectrogram. Results show how the Cochleagram is pre-eminent to handle the CNN model training over the Mel spectrogram. Accordingly, we use the Cochleagram for the CNN model training, which is subsequently used for detecting the current situation in the room and adapting the ACU operation to this situation. The results show that running ACUs in high mode provides a learning environment with low CO<sub>2</sub> concentration and high noise. Instead, controlling ACU based scenario predictions made by the CNN model provides a good learning environment with adequate CO<sub>2</sub> concentration and acceptable noise level. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of using sound classification as a trigger for ventilation control, with the CNN model achieving a good accuracy rate in sound recognition. This underscores the potential of integrating advanced machine learning techniques into building management systems to foster environments that adapt to the needs of their inhabitants automatically. The results of the present work are useful for improving the comfort of the occupants through dynamic ACUs adjustments based on acoustical situations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"324 ","pages":"Article 114913"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142539083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
