System-level key performance indicators for building performance evaluation [PDF]

, 2020
Quantifying building energy performance through the development and use of key performance indicators (KPIs) is an essential step in achieving energy saving goals in both new and existing buildings. Current methods used to evaluate improvements, however,

Parental involvement and engagement during COVID‐19 lockdowns: School staff and parents' reflections about children's learning at home

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Valuing parental engagement, as part of home–school collaboration, can benefit children's learning. This article focuses on parents and school‐based staff's (N = 120) experiences of children's learning occurring at home during the COVID‐19 lockdowns (2020–2021), both school‐mandated and other learning activities.

Listening and Making Beats With the Birds: An Outdoor Music‐Based Toolkit for Youth Engagement and Conservation Technologies

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss and unequal access to nature limit both ecological knowledge and opportunities for experiential learning. Here I present a portable, power outlet–independent educational toolkit that integrates AI‐assisted bird detection (Haikubox, BirdNET‐Pi, Merlin Bird ID) with off‐the‐shelf sound‐recording and music‐creation hardware ...

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

Bio‐Inspired Ordered WO3 Nano‐Helixes Enable Multi‐Band Electrochromic Smart Windows with Ultrafast Switching and Robust Cyclability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Biomimetic ordered nano‐helix WO3 films enable multi‐band electrochromic photothermal management across the visible, near‐infrared, mid‐ and long‐wave infrared spectra, with ultrafast switching (<3 s) and robust durability (>10 000 cycles). These findings establish new paradigms for next‐generation photothermal management systems and energy‐efficient ...

A Prototype Toolkit For Evaluating Indoor Environmental Quality In Commercial Buildings [PDF]

, 2013
Measurement of building environmental parameters is often complex, expensive, and not easily proceduralized in a manner that covers all commercial buildings. Evaluating building indoor environmental quality performance is therefore not standard practice.

Integrating Remote Sensing and Machine Learning for Enhanced Surface Urban Heat Island Analysis and Its Impact on Building Energy Demand

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS
