The Role of Occupants in Buildings’ Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?

Sustainability, 2021
Buildings’ expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual observations. This is commonly referred to as the energy performance gap.

Machine learning augmented predictive and generative model for rupture life in ferritic and austenitic steels

npj Materials Degradation, 2021
The Larson–Miller parameter (LMP) offers an efficient and fast scheme to estimate the creep rupture life of alloy materials for high-temperature applications; however, poor generalizability and dependence on the constant C often result in sub-optimal ...
