Into green infrastructure, into investment in the housing stock to meet our basic economic needs - our housing needs as well as our energy-performance needs".
Although new buildings can be constructed with high performance levels, the majority of the building stock, characterized by a low energy performance, still needs renovation.
More research on 4D visualization of energy performance metrics need to be conducted; and finally.
More research on 4D visualization of energy performance metrics need to be conducted; and finally 3) Minimizing false negative detection for static occlusions: One survey participant noted that "Accounting for furniture and other obstructions seems like a challenging task".
This paper highlights the challenge of designing school buildings with acceptable year-round thermal and energy performance and the need to set higher standards in the school building design, using children-based criteria.
Due to the development of energy performance contracting and the needs for peak electric demand reduction, the interest for building energy demand prediction is renewed.
As the demand for uninterrupted energy performance rises, corresponding challenges need to be overcome in both industry and academia.
To provide a fair comparison of the energy performance in buildings we need a global and unified representation.
By 2030, the UK housing stock will undergo major changes to improve its energy performance, 1 motivated by the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), considerations of energy security/cost, and concern about fuel poverty with its presumed link to the UK's large burden of winter/cold-related mortality and morbidity.
Furthermore, existing buildings, subject to major renovation, also have to meet the European minimum energy performance requirements, in term of energy needs and system efficiency, requested by the 2010/31/EU and 2009/28/CE directives.
Managers who buy data center equipment, including servers and related hardware, "need objective, credible energy performance information," the E.P.A. said.
