Decentralized thermal control of building systems
Energy requirements for heating and cooling of buildings constitute a major fraction of end use energy consumed. Therefore, it is important to provide the occupant comfort requirements in buildings in an energy efficient manner. However, buildings are large scale complex systems, susceptible to …

Flange bracing requirements for metal building systems
The analysis and design of bracing systems for complex frame geometries typically found in metal buildings can prove to be an arduous task given current methods. The American Institute of Steel Construction's Appendix 6 from the 2010 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings affords engineers a …

Model reduction of Markov chains with applications to building systems
… thesis, the modeling and control problems of building systems are investigated. Firstly, A nonlinear resistor-capacitor (RC) network model of a multi-zone building is established to capture the building thermal dynamics. Then an aggregation-based model reduction method is proposed to preserve …

Impact of Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) in Office Buildings
… to quantify a person's thermal comfort within a building. The physical variables include air temperature, relative humidity, mean radiant temperature, and air velocity, and the personal variables include activity level and clothing insulation (Yau & Chew, 2014). People control the physical …

A normative approach to the evaluation of industrialized building systems
The rapid development of the building industry within the last 10-15 years involved the adaptation of a more. specialized and advanced system of construction and management. And, with the expanding alternatives of industrialized building systems developed and being developed in Europe and North …

Guidelines for the evaluation of building systems in the United Arab Emirates
… to explore the feasibility of an export-geared building industrialization in the United Arab Emirates, and to develop a tentative strategy for the implementation of such industrialization. The United Arab Emirates (U.A.E), a rapidly growing country, is chosen as the subject of this study, mainly …

Towards a Better Understanding of the Fundamental Period of Metal Building Systems
Metal buildings account for over 40% of low-rise construction in the US. Despite this, predictive fundamental period equations that were obtained empirically for mid-rise construction are used in seismic design. Analytical modeling of metal building frames implied that these equations significantly …

Champs-Multizone and Virtual Building for Integrated Building Systems Design and Performance Evaluation
… performance-based multi-stage design of buildings and comparison between the performance predicted at the design stage and that monitored at operation stage. Such an integrated framework would not only enable design optimization, but also enable confirmation of design intent or diagnosis …

Kinetic temperature of structures for resilience, instability and failure analysis of building systems
… need for quantitative resilience assessment of buildings which, due to the perils of global warming, are expected to be subject to extreme hazards. To obtain the key input for resilience calculations in the form of structural fragility, we redefine structural mechanics within the context of …

An experimental study of the response of reinforced masonry building systems to earthquake motions
… dynamic response of reinforced concrete masonry building structures. Two reduced-scale reinforced masonry perforated shear wall structures were subjected to simulated earthquake motions on a shaking table. A third was tested using conventional static methods to provide insight into differences in …

Approximation and Control of the Boussinesq Equations with Application to Control of Energy Efficient Building Systems
… in designing and controlling energy efficient building systems. In particular, we show that it is possible to locally exponentially stabilize the nonlinear Boussinesq Equations by applying Neumann/Robin type boundary control on a bounded and connected domain. The feedback controller is obtained …
