Early Design Stage Building Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) of Cost & Carbon Impact
In my research, I have developed a building lifecycle analysis (LCA) workflow that recommends sustainable solutions based on the optimization of building lifecycle cost ($) and carbon impact (kgCO2eq). The workflow can analyze conceptual geometries in the early design stage when there is limited …

Common Energy Saving Programs in Residential Buildings Operation: A Survey and Analysis of Existing Studies
In 2020, the U.S. residential building sector alone generated 923.1 MMtCO2e emissions in total (20% of the national total emissions). Residential building is the 3rd highest carbon emitter among all the end-use sectors in the country. To reach the goal set by the Paris Agreement, decarbonizing the …

An investigation into data sharing between building information modelling and fire safety engineering, with potential applications to smart buildings
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a relatively new digital data flow standard for the whole building lifecycle in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry that suffers from existing problems such as data loss and incompatibilities on building projects. For Fire Safety …
