Data‐Efficient and Explainable Ensemble Learning for HVAC Fan Power Modeling in Green Building Operations

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
An active learning–based framework is developed to predict AHU fan power with limited labeled HVAC data. Ensemble models (Random Forest and XGBoost) combined with SHAP interpretation improve prediction accuracy and reveal key temperature drivers for data‐efficient HVAC energy modeling.

Surface‐Engineered Filters for Wettability‐Driven Collection of Airborne Fungal Spores

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
Plasma‐polymerized coatings are used to tune air filter wettability for selective airborne fungal spore capture. Hydrophobic PFO surfaces retain filamentous fungal spores, while hydrophilic POX surfaces preferentially capture Rhodotorula glutinis. The findings reveal that surface chemistry dominates over coating thickness and filter geometry in driving

On the Conservatisms of Nepheline Predictors for Canister Centerline Cooled (CCC) High‐Level Waste (HLW) Glasses

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple models and feature sets have been generated, which attempt to predict the crystallization of nepheline (NaAlSiO4) in high‐level radioactive waste (HLW) glasses under canister centerline cooling (CCC) conditions. Earlier models were found to be overly conservative, while newer models had a not insignificant rate of false positives and ...

Modeling the Distribution, Impacts, and Mitigation of Anthropogenic Heat in Los Angeles

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic heat emissions from human energy consumption contribute to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, yet their spatiotemporal distributions and impacts remain uncertain. In this study, we develop a 100 m resolution, hourly anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) data set for Los Angeles County and use the Weather Research and Forecasting model ...
