Intelligent energy allocation in solar water heating systems for single-standing buildings in cold climates: application to winter heating in rural Northwest China

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
To address low energy efficiency and poor indoor thermal comfort during winter in conventional rural single-standing buildings in Northwest China, this study retrofitted the original boiler-based heating system into a solar water heating system with an ...

Attention‐Based Spatial–Temporal Model for the Entire Indoor Space Temperature Estimation

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel attention‐based spatial–temporal model for indoor temperature estimation, which integrates positional encoding and an attention mechanism with a fully connected neural network. By jointly capturing temporal dynamics and spatial correlations, the model enables high‐resolution estimation of temperature fields across the entire

Flexibility Feasible Region Construction and Operation Optimization for Urban Residential Smart Buildings

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
To effectively harness the flexibility of urban residential buildings, this study proposes using the feasible flexibility region (FFR) of residential smart buildings (RSB) as an alternative to directly scheduling a large number of diverse, dispersed, and heterogeneous flexibility resources.

Modern Fire Safety Protocols in the Archeological Contexts: A New Tool for Studying the Health and Behavioral Effects of Fire Use in Semi‐Closed Spaces

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, integrated with controlled fire experiments, to investigate combustion processes in semi‐closed spaces. The framework enables systematic modeling of smoke dispersal, particulate transport, and hearth performance under variable morphologies and ventilation ...

Indoor thermal comfort in different building blocks

A+BE: Architecture and the Built Environment, 2014
This paper discusses the energy and comfort impact of three types of urban block configuration in the Netherlands. The annual heating and lighting energy demand, and summer thermal comfort hours are compared. In total, 102 thermal zones forming single, linear and courtyard building combinations are simulated within the Netherlands’ temperate climate ...

Multi‐Spectral Gaussian Splatting with Neural Color Representation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) [KKLD23] has transformed novel‐view synthesis from RGB images, yet remains restricted to the visible spectrum. Many applications, including agricultural monitoring, rely on multi‐spectral imaging, where spectral camera alignment and scalability pose major challenges.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
