“…In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have made representative research results in the configuration of safety inputs in traditional building construction [14], but it is difficult to apply them directly due to the differences in assembly building projects. Most of the current assembly building construction safety management results stay in the qualitative research stage, and some scholars try to introduce quantitative analysis means such as gray clustering [15], attribute mathematics [16], and finite element [17] to study assembly building construction safety accidents so as to propose management countermeasures [18,19], and the method can be used to analyze and identify key safety input elements, but its drawback is that it cannot determine the optimal ratios of elemental inputs, while the multiobjective programming (MOP) method can be used to analyze and identify key safety input elements [20][21][22]. e authors of [23] systematically reviewed the evolution of assembled housing in the UK and analyzed it through a literature review, while suggesting that further research is needed to enrich the field.…”

Based on the PSO-ELM model, we analyze the key elements of safety input to respond to accidents and construct and evaluate its resource input optimization scheme. Based on the PSO-ELM cost prediction model, we analyze the key safety inputs for accident response and construct and evaluate the optimal allocation of resources. The results show that improving the technical level of component lifting is the key point of safety management in the construction of assembled buildings; increasing the strength of safety inspection before delivery of components, enhancing the technical performance of component safety status identification, and reasonably planning the frequency of using special transportation vehicles for components are effective ways to achieve the balance of safety, schedule, and cost of the project.

“…The developed energy management model of MG with sharing strategy of CESS unit and the smart homes FLs and SLs appliances is explored in three different scenarios. In scenario (1), it is assumed that there is not any CESS unit and the smart homes do not have access to charge/discharge power in a storage unit. In scenario (2), CESS unit is also present and the optimization process determines the smart homes SLs operating intervals and the CESS capacity is optimally shared between the smart home owners.…”

“…Currently, the sustainability issue is of great importance both on deploying renewable and green energy resources along with the architectural and design improvements on modern buildings and also providing a reliable telecommunication services for home owners [1][2][3]. In an attempt to realize carbon-free or say as zero-carbon buildings, renewable energy resources and mainly roof-top photovoltaic (PV) panels are now widely deployed and commercialized [4,5].…”

This paper explores residential microgrids (MG) which not only deploy smart algorithms and energy management strategies for appliances scheduling but also make benefit of insulated wall structures and modern windows ending to smart buildings with sustainable architecture. This amendment is shown to have a remarkable effect on avoiding thermal energy losses and hence lowering energy consumption of heat, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) in smart and sustainable homes. Moreover, frequency selective surfaces applied in modern windows are shown to greatly improve in-service telecommunication signal transfer ratio, assuring a reliable communication for inhabitants. The proposed model adopts the most recent concept of cloud energy storage system (CESS) unit to provide a public access to charge/discharge capacity for smart home owners. Accordingly, a simple but applicable capacity sharing strategy of CESS is developed for the energy exchanges of smart homes in the MG. By establishing such an access to CESS, the proposed model allocates optimal shares of charge/discharge capacities for home owners, minimizes the daily operation cost of each home and grants an optimal operation of household appliances. The proposed model is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem and is assessed in several operating strategies.

The construction sector is one of the main sources of environmental degradation in the world. Data demonstrates that commercial assets are the most intensive consumers of resources. Among those, the largest amount of buildings’ emissions comes from office building operations. Buildings’ impact on the environment does not depend only on energy and material consumptions; but several studies demonstrate that sustainable savings could be achieved through occupants’ trainings. To develop a model for assessing the sustainable performance of office buildings which accounts also for occupants’ behavior, authors worked with the Real Estate Center of Politecnico di Milano and the Joint Research Center PropTech of Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. Through this cooperation, a tool is under development that: Assesses the quantity of space needed by organizations, based on the employees’ ways of working; and Evaluates how much space occupancy and utilization may influence the sustainable performances of office buildings. This paper describes the general functioning of the tool and looks at the contribution that PropTechs (Properties Technologies) can give to its implementation. Even if PropTechs are introducing digitalization in several real estate processes, few of them are focusing on the environmental. This study reviews the existing Italian PropTechs and selects those that could add value to the proposed tool. The analysis allows to define strengths and limits of the existing tools, helpful for implementing a new tool based on real needs of building managers. The tool aims to reduce the environmental impact of office buildings by suggesting more sustainable and user-oriented strategies.
