Improved occupancy monitoring in non-domestic buildings

open access: yesSustainable Cities and Society, 2017
Measuring occupancy can facilitate energy efficiency in non-domestic buildings, when control systems are able to adjust heating and cooling based on demand rather than fixed schedules. The variable “occupancy profile” itself is rarely considered as a control system parameter in building energy management systems (BEMS), and this is largely because ...

Opposition diagrams for automorphisms of small spherical buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
An automorphism $\theta$ of a spherical building $\Delta$ is called \textit{capped} if it satisfies the following property: if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices by $\theta$ then there exists a type

A review of existing building benchmarks and the development of a set of reference office buildings for England and Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The modern built environment has become more complex in terms of building types, environmental systems and use profiles. This complexity causes difficulties in terms of optimising buildings energy design.

HVAC characterisation of existing Canadian buildings for decarbonisation retrofit identification

open access: yesBuildings & Cities
Building archetypes are useful in building energy simulations as they simplify the modelling process. These building archetypes are classified in the Building Technology Assessment Platform (BTAP), a database built on Natural Resources Canada building ...

Nanobody‐Conjugated Theranostic Prodrug Targeting αvβ3 Integrin Enables Precision Cancer Therapy With Real‐Time Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The image shows a schematic form a nanobody‐conjugated theranostic prodrug (NBD) platform targeting tumor‐associated αvβ3 integrin. The NBD system integrates selective nanobody‐mediated tumor recognition, glutathione‐responsive disulfide cleavage for doxorubicin release, and aza‐BODIPY‐based near‐infrared fluorescence for real‐time imaging.
