A new software tool developed by Cornell researchers can model a small city's building energy use within minutes on a standard laptop, then run simulations to help policymakers prioritize the most ...

Researchers used a supercomputer to model every building serviced by the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga -- all 178,368 of them -- and discovered through more than 2 million simulations that EPB ...

Buildings produce a large share of New York's greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for ...

Suppose you meet with an architect and ask her to design a building. You tell her the design you'd like, the size, and where it will be located. You might also specify the level of energy efficiency ...

With the development of software programs like DOE-2 and EnergyPlus, it's never been easier for Building Teams to evaluate potential energy saving measures for a building project. However, preparing ...

A distinguished scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory who has led the creation of computer models of energy use in nearly every residential and commercial building in the United States will speak ...

Modern residential construction in the UAE demonstrates the need for advanced thermal envelope solutions in hot, arid climates where cooling can account for up to 70% of peak electricity consumption.
