Building renovation Roadmapping: an automated methodology framework for energy efficiency improvement and sustainable renovation planning

International Journal of Sustainable Energy
A significant portion of energy consumption currently derives from the building stock, which has harms both the environment and the living standard of occupants, while at the European level, the renovation rate of the current building stock remains low ...

Harnessing machine learning and optimization for informed chemical engineering decisions: A styrene reactor analysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study shows that integrating multiple machine learning models with optimization and decision‐making improves chemical process design, and that a consensus‐based strategy across models provides more robust and reliable operating recommendations than any single model, especially under limited or noisy data conditions.

Retrofitting homes: Evaluating the householder's retrofit journey, existing retrofit services, and future directions for success in Ireland's retrofit industry

Ireland's Climate Action Plan (2019) set ambitious targets for existing dwelling retrofits, including retrofitting 500,000 existing dwellings to a B2-Building Energy Rating (BER) or better by 2030, at an average rate of 50,000 dwellings per annum. Various policies have been established for the achievement of these targets, including establishing One ...

Phenolic Resin‐Functionalized NH2‐UiO‐66‐Containing Mixed Matrix Membranes for CO2/CH4 Separation

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Phenolic resin‐functionalized small‐size RFin@NH2‐UiO‐66 nanofillers were prepared and combined with polyetherimide (PEI) matrix to construct mixed matrix membranes for effective CO2/CH4 separation. ABSTRACT For mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), the inherent structural features and composition of the embedded nanofillers play a pivotal role in governing ...

Research Progress of Three‐Terminal Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells Based on Back‐Contact Silicon

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer efficiencies beyond 30%, yet conventional architectures face trade‐offs between optical performance and current matching. Three‐terminal tandems employing silicon back‐contact bottom cells eliminate the current‐matching constraint while minimizing optical losses, offering superior energy yield under real ...
