Thus, reducing the ecological footprint of the building sector is vital to reach the European Green Deal. Thermally activated buildings systems (TABS) are widely used for cooling. In TABS coolant flows through long pipes integrated in concrete ceilings. This implies several limitations as e.g. coolant warm-up along the pipe resulting in temperature gradients at the ceiling‘s surface. This reduces thermal comfort and limits the maximum cooling capacity as the temperature should not drop below the dew point. Moreover, the length of the pipes introduces hydraulic resistances and the necessity of powerful circulation pumps. Furthermore, the pipes are commonly made of plastic, which increases the thermal resistance while lowering the cooling efficiency. Hence in this study, a novel concept is investigated where the hydronic piping system is replaced by highly efficient heat pipes to mitigate the aforementioned disadvantages. Heat pipes allow passive heat transfer at high transport rates and do not require circulation pumps. Additionally, they provide a uniform ceiling temperature increasing thermal comfort and cooling capacity.

In order to take an environmentally-conscious decision, the environmental impacts of the entire life during the construction phase for the two approaches must be known. This study performed a comparative Life cycle assessment LCA on a new retrofitted extension in the Holy Family Hospital as a case study to determine whether the retrofit was a right decision. The assessment was carried out with the online calculator One Click LCA (2015) to measure and compare the impact of environmental pressures related to the embodied energy and embodied CO2 to take a less impact decision between reconstructing and retrofitting an existing building. The findings reveal a strong link between retrofit strategies and the energy sector, highlighting their role in reducing embodied energy, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and primary energy demand.

However, existing research focuses on the individual buildings and has not yet established a comprehensive assessment method at the block scale. This study aims to propose a multi-objective framework to assess the operational carbon reduction and economic benefits of retrofitting building envelopes in old residential blocks. First, this study employs architectural typology and cluster method to categorize 102 real cases of old residential blocks in Wuhan into three fundamental categories along with twelve derived variants. Second, under both single-component and multi-component retrofit scenarios, 2472 renovation schemes are generated. Then, sensitivity and variance analyses within the framework identify the key retrofit components and elements under each objective. Finally, the optimal renovation scheme sets for 3 types of old residential blocks are obtained, and the multi-level technical lists of envelope components-renovation materials-thermal parameters are formed. The proposed scheme sets and multi-level technical lists demonstrated good robustness after undergoing uncertainty analysis and comprehensive verification. The results indicated that multi-component retrofits enhance the carbon reduction effect by 9.25 to 23.95%, compared to single-component approaches. The heat transfer coefficient of external walls primarily affects the carbon reduction effects, while the heat transfer coefficient of external windows and the solar heat gain coefficient primarily affect economic benefits. In terms of comprehensive benefits, the heat transfer coefficient of exterior windows and that of exterior walls collectively serve as decisive factors. The technical framework proposed in this study enables policymakers and practitioners to rapidly assess the effectiveness of schemes and identify renovation priorities in the early stage of renovation. It provides a scalable technical pathway for decarbonizing old residential blocks worldwide, thereby supporting energy efficiency, emissions cuts, and sustainability within the building sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 117098"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146098303","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}

Education, dwelling type, and ownership status are also influential factors, though with a modest effect. Regional differences, particularly in Makkah and Riyadh, reveal further contextual variations in behavior.

Creating a robust framework that can detect faults in energy systems with residual methods trained on data with verified normal operation is necessary. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a framework consisting of an ensemble of neural networks that predict each process variable and vote on a final value based on uncertainty calculations enabled by Monte Carlo dropout. Thereafter, it detects anomalies with residuals informed by the variables’ uncertainty and ranks them based on fault probability by employing the Chernoff bound. Finally, the anomalies are categorized based on their influence on identified key performance indicators. This enables maintenance crews to prioritize their time to focus on faults with a higher probability of being a fault and impacting operational key performance indicators. The proposed methodology was applied to the Tennessee Eastman process benchmark dataset to facilitate direct comparison with other fault detection approaches.
