Thoughts on the selection of the appropriate simulation models in building performance assessment
Building performance simulation serves the derivation of the relevant building performance indicators (e.g., energy use, indoor-environmental conditions) given the assumptions of certain model input parameters (i.e., description of the building, boundary

Building performance simulations can inform IoT privacy leaks in buildings
AbstractAs IoT devices become cheaper, smaller, and more ubiquitously deployed, they can reveal more information than their intended design and threaten user privacy. Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) sensors previously installed for energy savings and indoor health monitoring have emerged as an avenue to infer sensitive occupant information.
