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 ...

A new study has demonstrated a novel approach to integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Building Energy ...

The US has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. To accomplish this goal, large cuts in emissions are necessary, especially in high-emission sectors like the building industry. Researchers ...

Researchers used the City of Pittsburgh to create a model built upon the design, materials and purpose of commercial buildings to estimate their energy usage and emissions. The building sector in the ...

Creating an energy-use model and cost profile early in a project design process—using lightweight tools and resources, such as energy use intensity data and DOE commercial benchmark model data—can ...

A new machine learning approach developed through an international collaboration between Polytechnic University of Milan and Drexel University could help architects and urban planners better predict ...

Description: simulationHub has released Buildings AI, a cloud-based building energy modeling platform that combines the EnergyPlus engine with AI-driven automation. The software streamlines complex ...

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 ...
