Enhancing these cities’ adaptability to climate risks and mitigating the catastrophic impacts of tropical cyclones require a thorough understanding of urban flow with extreme approaching wind conditions. This study employed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods, in particular Embedded Large Eddy Simulation (ELES), to reconstruct the flow field in a real heterogeneous urban building complex featuring mixed low-rise buildings, and applied a statistical approach based on the 3-parameter Weibull distribution (3 W) to examine the probability density function (PDF) of wind-induced risks under typhoon conditions. Results showed that, with a fixed reference wind speed, the typhoon-condition pedestrian-level wind (PLW) environment strongly deteriorates due to larger upstream terrain roughness. Normalized time-averaged and extreme velocity at pedestrian level can increase locally up to 2.0 and 3.0 respectively with upstream terrain roughness length of 0.30 m, in contrast to 1.25 and 1.75 with that of 0.01 m. The building morphology however, does not significantly influence the PLW. There was a significant difference in the vertical variation of PDFs between different building morphologies. Deterioration of PLW brings higher wind-induced risk to pedestrians. Moreover, simple and steady criterion of identifying wind-induced risks proved to be insufficient. Apart from practical findings, this study demonstrated a feasible workflow of integrated statistical extraction of urban gust wind and wind-induced risk based on CFD results, while reducing the potential uncertainties brought by empirical methods. Such research workflow could be further applied to support city-scaled simulation and climate-disaster early-warning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 113255"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144270391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heat shelter availability is assessed through three indicators: the heat sheltering status, the heat shelter area per capita, and the heat sheltering performance. In this way, the methodology makes it possible to assess the time evolution of the heat shelters availability, over the course of the day and over the century, in large urban areas, for different levels of protection against heat. The methodology is applied to the city of Lyon. In this city, heat shelters will not provide thermal comfort; they will at most protect against heat stress exposure. During the core of the day, at the end of the century, heat shelters are exclusively located in shaded areas with sufficient ventilation and low exposure to reflected solar radiation. Locations under large patches of continuous tree cover or at the foot of building façades without overlooks fulfill these conditions.

The sound insulation properties of building façades have a considerable influence on acoustic comfort, with glazing system often representing the most critical components. Meanwhile, the ever increasing demand for larger window surfaces to improve visual comfort, has led to a growing prevalence of thermal break lift-and-slide systems. The choice of window frame design for this window system is of paramount importance to achieve high sound insulation performance, as this depends on the closure system, the frame cross section, and the glass configuration in the frame. This paper aims to highlight critical issues of large sliding windows, exploring the acoustic performance of a lift-and-slide window through experimental assessments according to the ISO 10140 standard. The weighted sound reduction index (R<sub>w</sub>) was assessed in laboratory; then, several modifications were implemented to improve the acoustic performance of lift-and-slide windows. Notably, the incorporation of sound-absorbing materials within the upper section of the frame yielded an R<sub>w</sub> enhancement of 2 dB on average. Conversely, deficiencies such as improper glass orientation or improper frame closure systems led to R<sub>w</sub> reductions of up to 4 dB.

Accordingly, this study utilized real-world building operation data to predict faults in AHU systems and examined their relationship with energy consumption. We developed an optimized fault detection model for data with labeled faults using supervised learning methods, specifically long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM). For unlabeled fault data, we applied an unsupervised learning model, LSTM Autoencoder, to derive anomaly scores, which were validated using heat transfer efficiency, proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control performance, and CO₂ concentration. Furthermore, we employed Granger causality analysis and the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to assess the significance of fault occurrences and their impact on energy consumption. The results showed that among the supervised learning models, Bi-LSTM outperformed LSTM in fault detection accuracy. Meanwhile, the unsupervised model effectively predicted performance degradation and energy consumption impacts by leveraging anomaly scores.

To address this challenge, this study systematically investigates the application of traditional generative adversarial networks (GANs) and their variants, including conditional GAN (CGAN) and Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (CWGAN-GP), for generating fault-specific synthetic data. By comparing the diagnostic performance of balanced datasets constructed using different generative approaches, the superiority of CWGAN-GP is experimentally validated. In addition, due to the certain randomness of the generated samples, directly using them may reduce the learning ability of the model. Therefore, a strict screening method is needed to select higher-quality samples for dataset expansion. In this study, a high-quality sample screening method integrated with the DS evidence theory is proposed, and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) are used as evidence sources to obtain the highest accuracy and F1 scores. The experimental results show that under the condition of limited real fault data, the comprehensive performance of fault diagnosis is improved through the data generation and screening process of CWGAN-GP-DS. Specifically, in the comparative experiment of the generative model, the diagnostic accuracy of CWGAN-GP after achieving data balance is 1.40 %-4.31 % higher than that of GAN and CGAN. Meanwhile, when the number of real fault samples is 20, the accuracy and F1 coefficient of the diagnostic model reach 81.58 % and 81.33 % respectively, which is an improvement of 7.56 % and 7.68 % compared with the original unbalanced situation. When the number of real fault samples is 50, they reach 91.89 % and 91.86 % respectively, which is an improvement of 2.34 % and 2.24 % compared with the original unbalanced situation. Finally, the screening method integrated with the DS evidence theory also highlights its advantages in QCP, ELQCP and SSL. The improvement in accuracy reaches 1.32 %-9.3 %, and the improvement in the F1 coefficient reaches 1.11 %-9.5 %. Although with the increase in the number of real samples, the training of the diagnostic model gradually matures and the improvement effect of the proposed method decreases, it can still effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy problem in scenarios with imbalanced and few samples in the overall situation. Experimental results from the ASHRAE Research Project RP-1043 validate the robustness of the CWGAN-GP-DS method in imbalanced data environments. This systematic combination of synthetic data generation and evidence-based quality control provides a reliable solution for chiller fault diagnosis under challenging conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 113271"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144241345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, a heat transfer-storage model for PV was established to investigate their temperature characteristics and thermal generation properties, based on which a cascade phase change material thermal management module (cas-SCPCM) was proposed. Among them, the PCM was comprised of paraffin (PA), expansion graphite (EG), polyethylene octene co-elastomers (POE), ethylene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and its thermal control performance was analyzed.

Under various irradiance intensities, the cas-SCPCM demonstrated superior thermal control performance compared to traditional single-layer phase change material thermal management modules. At an irradiance intensity of 2000 W/m², the temperature of the cas-SCPCM photovoltaic cell was reduced by 34.6 %, and the PCE was increased by 27.1 %.
