The journey to net-zero buildings and high-offset solar PV system projects begins with a compelling story. PV models forecast ...

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 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 ...

Researchers have developed a new method that can lead to significant energy savings in buildings. The team identified 28 major heat loss regions in a multi-unit residential building with the most ...

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 ...

The global energy crisis is an unwelcome wakeup call to make fundamental changes to how we design, build and operate infrastructure. And while there are immediate short-term challenges which need to ...

The group led by Professor Krarti has a wide range of research interests related to improving the energy efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency of both new and existing buildings. Some of the ...

Using Ithaca as a case study, the model mapped over 5,000 residential and commercial buildings, incorporating data from geospatial maps, tax records, building permits, census data, and local records.

Researchers at Cornell recently developed software that can model a city's energy usage in just minutes using only a standard laptop. Even better, the software can run simulations of clean energy ...
