Dynamically Adaptive Wrinkle‐Structured Light‐Regulating Films for Energy‐Efficient Buildings
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 5, 15 January 2026.A scalable, moisture‐responsive cellulose nanofibril/polyvinyl alcohol (CNF/PVA)‐glycerol film with switchable wrinkled surfaces for dynamic light regulation is developed. Compared to glass, it achieves tunable light diffusion for daylight harvesting, thermal regulation, and privacy control.

Nexus of thermal resilience and energy efficiency in buildings: A case study of a nursing home [PDF]
, 2020 Extreme weather events become more frequent and severe due to climate change. Although energy efficiency technologies can influence thermal resilience of buildings, they are traditionally studied separately, and their interconnections are rarely ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 775, January 2026 Part B.This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study investigates the combination of a ground‐source heat pump (GHP) with a hybrid solar‐geothermal energy system and a machine learning (ML)‐based smart water‐usage monitoring module to improve resource efficiency in green buildings. A random forest (RF) model was trained in MATLAB/Simulink using historical water‐use data and environmental ...

Representing simmodel in the web ontology language [PDF]
, 2014 Many building energy performance (BEP) simulation tools, such as EnergyPlus and DOE-2, use custom schema definitions (IDD and BDL respectively) as opposed to standardised schema definitions (defined in XSD, EXPRESS, and so forth).
