Dynamic effect of thermal bridges on the energy performance of a low-rise residential building

Energy and Buildings, 2015
Abstract The existence of thermal bridges in building envelopes affects the energy performance of buildings, their durability and occupants’ thermal comfort. Typically the effect of thermal bridges on the energy performance is taken into account by implementing an equivalent U-value in 1D whole building energy simulation program.

Equivalent parameterized beam model for nailed connections in low-rise residential buildings

Engineering Structures, 2017
Abstract Increased frequency and intensity of coastal storms has renewed interest in the structural performance of coastal low-rise residential homes. Post hazard surveys indicate connections that form the load path from sheathing to framing to foundation play a pivotal role in the failure modes of these non-engineered structures.

Effect of visual stimuli on the subjective impression of pass-by sound transmitted into low-rise residential building

Applied Acoustics, 2020
Abstract The effect of additionally presented visual stimuli on the subjective impression of the vehicle pass-by sound transmitted into a low-rise residential building was investigated based on the environmental simulation method combining the binaural sound auralization technieque and the three-dimensional spatial visualization technique.

Towards net zero energy design for low-rise residential buildings in subtropical Hong Kong

Applied Energy, 2012
Abstract Hong Kong is a typical metropolis in the subtropical South China, where high-rise buildings are all around the city. This generally implies that the density of energy demand is extremely high, even the renewable energy facilities are involved, they can just play as a minor energy provider at the current technology level.

Prescriptive Approach to the Performance-Based Seismic Design of Low-Rise Wood-Frame Residential Buildings

Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2011
Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) is considered by many to be the next generation of design philosophy that focuses on the system performance of a structure during earthquake loading. For steel and concrete structures, this design philosophy is being used by a select group of practitioners. However, application to wood-frame buildings is still in
