Previous research identified three primary retrofitting approaches to mitigate carbon emissions: renewable energy generation, reducing occupant demand, and improving building system efficiency. However, few studies have integrated these strategies to evaluate energy reduction potential in office buildings located in hot-summer humid cities such as Hong Kong. This study compiled integrated retrofitting strategies from benchmarking projects, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings, to address operational energy and carbon reduction goals in Hong Kong. The combined retrofitting strategies were adapted to address occupant needs, renewable energy generation, lighting, windows, and mechanical ventilation and air conditioning (MVAC) systems for two campus office buildings (Block M and Block Z) in Hong Kong. EnergyPlus was used to simulate energy performance, and life-cycle costs of the strategies were also analyzed. The results show that operational carbon emissions decreased by 50.1 % in Block M and 50.5 % in Block Z, aligning with Hong Kong’s 2035 carbon reduction goal. Among the strategies, MVAC upgrades, particularly chiller improvements, achieved the largest energy savings, followed by LED lighting and renewable energy systems, while non-renewable building envelope upgrades contributed the least. Shallow strategies, such as increasing cooling setpoints, adopting daylight sensors, and reducing ventilation rates, provided moderate energy savings. Life-cycle cost analysis revealed that shallow retrofits and LED systems offered the shortest payback periods, followed closely by MVAC strategies. In contrast, strategies involving exterior scaffolding installations, such as windows system upgrades and building envelope integrated photovoltaics, had longer payback periods despite their significant energy consumption reductions. While most strategies achieved payback within 14 years, the window upgrade with double-silver low-e glass required 24 years due to its high initial cost. These findings can assist decision-makers and designers in selecting suitable retrofitting strategies in hot-summer humid regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"338 ","pages":"Article 115705"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815972","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}

Land surface temperature (LST), a key indicator of the urban heat island effect, is influenced by a complex interplay of factors from the built, natural, and socio-economic environments.However,most existing studies have predominantly focused on single-factor analyses, lacking a comprehensive multidimensional approach. To address this gap, this study investigates the influence mechanisms of various environmental factors on LST through multi-scale spatial analysis and proposes a machine learning model that explicitly incorporates spatial effects. An integrated dataset encompassing variables from the built, natural, and socio-economic environments was constructed. Spatial autocorrelation analysis confirmed that the spatial effects of LST follow a spatial error model (SEM). Based on this spatial effect pattern, a spatial machine learning model was developed that significantly outperformed traditional spatial learning models. By comparing seven commonly used machine learning models, we selected the four best-performing models—CatBoost, XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and HistGradientBoosting—for ensemble learning, ultimately adopting the Stacking strategy over the Voting approach. Incorporating Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter tuning further enhanced the Stacking model’s predictive performance.Furthermore, interpretability tools including SHAP, Partial Dependence Plots (PDP), and Individual Conditional Expectation (ICE) were employed to systematically analyze the factors influencing LST. The analyses revealed that the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and spatial error are the most critical determinants of LST, while built environment features such as building height, as well as natural environment factors like green spaces and water bodies, also have significant impacts. This study provides robust scientific evidence for urban planners and offers valuable guidance for developing effective strategies to mitigate extreme heat and alleviate the urban heat island effect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"338 ","pages":"Article 115704"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799520","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 introduces an integrated approach to DLCI, incorporating multiple construction techniques, cooling operation patterns, and climate change projections. A parametric simulation was conducted in EnergyPlus™, evaluating 432 variations in construction parameters in a Brazilian social housing unit, including different roof, wall, and window materials, and spatial orientation. Five cooling operation scenarios were defined, ranging from split-off (0 h/day) to continuous operation (24 h/day). The resulting energy consumption dataset was used to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), while a linear regression model projected external temperature over the next 50 years. The trained ANN then estimated future building energy consumption, incorporating projected climate conditions. The findings indicate that, in the continuous cooling operation scenario (24 h/day), the total electricity consumption for artificial cooling may reach 18,000 kWh/m2 over the building’s lifetime, underscoring the long-term energy demand in Brazilian social housing. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis revealed that each 1 °C rise in external temperature leads to an approximately 8 % increase in cooling energy consumption, reinforcing the need for adaptive design strategies to mitigate future energy demands.

We conducted a comprehensive parametric simulation study using a representative office building model to assess energy cost savings of the new CORE control algorithm against other widely adopted control strategies, including the best industry practice ASHRAE Guideline 36 (G36). We created an EnergyPlus-Python-based simulation environment to implement all control algorithms. Results showed that the new CORE algorithm consistently yielded higher energy cost savings than other control algorithms, despite variations in climate, energy tariff structure, and building design and operation.

Moreover, the climatic conditions had a significant impact on the control performance.
