A Real Time Building Energy Effectivenss Assessment Model [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), 2008 While building provides shelter for human being, the previous models for assessing the intelligence of a building seldom consider the responses of occupants. In addition, the assessment is usually conducted by an authority organization on a yearly basis, thus can seldom provide timely assistance for facilities manager to improve and maintain their ...
