A comparative study of the energetic performance of climate adaptive facades compared to static facade design in a Mediterranean climate [PDF]
, 2016 Energy-efficient design of building façades has so far predominantly been confined to static rigid forms. Recently however, attempts have been made to design environmentally responsive façades, hereby called Climate Adaptive Façades.

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

A typology of adaptive façades. An empirical study based on the morphology of glazed facades
Cogent Arts & Humanities, 2021 A building’s façade is its main interface with the external environment. Adaptive façade, one recent invention in the façade industry, has the capability to change its behaviour in real-time to respond to internal and/or external parameters, by means of ...
