What Management Control Practices Do Electric Utilities Rely on When It Comes to Fostering the Social Pillar of Sustainability? A Comparative Analysis of the European Union and the United States

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric utilities are expected to implement measures to improve their performance in all three dimensions of sustainable development—environmental, social, and economic. While several studies have investigated the environmental dimension, measures related to the social pillar have hardly been researched to date.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Neighbourhood Shading Impacts on Passive Adaptive Façade Collective Behaviour [PDF]

, 2017
The past decade witnessed a shift in adaptive facades from energy-intensive complex systems to material-based actuated facades. The latter, however, were only developed with limited control in shape memory alloy applications, and more generally designed ...

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

Structural testing and analytical model of Reinforced Concrete (RC) prisms with 3D‐printed concrete permanent formwork under compressive loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...

Trust in Social Robots: Experimental Outcomes and Interactional Trajectories

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This study examines interactions between students and a social robot in an experiment designed to explore students' trust in educational robots. In the experiment, 16 out of 22 students come to accept an erroneous solution to a mathematical task presented by the robot, even though the vast majority of students initially suggest the correct solution ...

Benefit Mechanism and Enhancement Strategy of High‐Proportion Building Photovoltaic Systems Under Carbon Reduction Constraints

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A benefit evaluation framework for high‐proportion building photovoltaic systems was established considering carbon reduction constraints and grid absorption costs. The study reveals the intrinsic contradiction between system‐level benefits and PV utilisation benefits, and proposes a dual‐driven optimisation pathway of effective generation and ...

On the Simplified Numerical Analyses of an Adaptive Double‐Glazed Façade Considering Steady‐State Conditions and Experimental Data

The Journal of Engineering
The façade of a building accounts for large areas of its envelope, representing the interface between the uncontrolled outdoor climate and the conditioned interior. The façade is therefore largely responsible for the building's energy balance.
