Researchers at the RMIT University in Australia have developed a multi-objective optimization (MOO) framework to maximize the life cycle energy (LCE) and life cycle cost (LCC) of different ...

The industry has made significant strides in increasing home efficiency, particularly by making the building envelope tighter.

High-performance building envelopes are rewriting the playbook for HVAC contractors — as buildings are getting more airtight and insulation more robust, loads drop and demand curves flatten, meaning ...

Buildings might be crafted of steel and glass or brick-and-mortar, but property owners may want to treat them as though they are made of flesh and blood. Just as owners take precautions to avoid ...
