Sustainable Prefabricated Modular Buildings

2014
Economy, speed of construction and improved environmental performance are critical variables that challenge the modern construction industry to strike a balance between. Employing innovative prefabricated modular structures is one key strategy used to achieve these goals.

Modular retrofitting approach for residential buildings

2023
Residential buildings are one of the crucial energy consumers. The vast majority of the existing buildings require urgent retrofitting due to the very poor thermal insulation properties of their external building envelope. There are many building retrofitting technologies available on the market.

Building a modular service oriented workflow engine

2009 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA), 2009
Current workflow engines, often based on WS-BPEL, are monolithic programs to orchestrate a business process or take part in choreography between partners. They cover aspects like the execution of the workflow description derived from the business process, the communication with external services, and the handling of errors. Both, the communication with

Modularity Analysis of Smart Building Solutions

2019 Chinese Automation Congress (CAC), 2019
This paper studies the modularity analysis problem for smarting building solutions. We utilize the modularization function that was originally introduced for analyzing the degree of modularity in a given product architecture. Traditional dedicated smart building solutions and a newly introduced mass customization solution called $\mathrm{I}^{2}\mathrm ...
