Energy use of subtropical high-rise public residential buildings and impacts of energy saving measures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the energy use of high-rise residential buildings in subtropical climate and examined the impacts of different energy saving measures for developing strategies for achieving very low-energy highrise buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extra cost analyses of two apartment buildings for achieving nearly zero and low energy buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of high-efficiency external walls, roofs, windows, ventilation units and solar collectors on energy use and construction costs were studied by using multi-stage methodology for reducing the number of combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical study on the environmental pressure versus economic growth in China during 1991–2012
TL;DR: Based on Emergy approach and Rescaled Range analysis, this paper examined the decoupling condition in economic growth and environmental pressure both at specific and aggregate level and track the changing trend and the corresponding socio-economic cost in decoupled process.

Framework for establishing the optimal implementation strategy of a fuel-cell-based combined heat and power system: Focused on multi-family housing complex
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework for establishing the optimal implementation strategy of a fuel-cell-based combined heat and power system (FCCHPS) for multi-family housing complex (MFHC).
Occupant comfort in naturally ventilated and mixed-mode spaces within air-conditioned offices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce an ARC (Australian Research Council) funded project evaluating comfort conditions in mixed mode (MM) spaces, using field studies from two buildings in Sydney and Melbourne.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current methods and advances in forecasting of wind power generation
TL;DR: A review of the current methods and advances in wind power forecasting and prediction can be found in this article, where numerical wind power prediction methods from global to local scales, ensemble forecasting, upscaling and downscaling processes are discussed.
