“…As a consequence, coming up with such unexpected results (as far as this study came up with), the reasons can be investigated within the stated factors in general and for any case study in particular. Accordingly, the application of the MFOM in each and every case do not lead to the most optimal results without considering the factors discussed above, since thermal comfort (as one of the main evaluation criteria in this model) is in direct connection with user behavior [73][74][75], building characteristics and construction details [76].…”

Literature review shows that, to date, no local based method has been developed for evaluation of optimal wall constructions in a hot and humid climate from architects’ point of view. Hence, this study aims at developing a multi factor optimization model (MFOM) for comparative selection of opaque wall construction in a hot and humid climate based on four main evaluation criterion namely energy efficiency, thermal comfort, moisture control, and cost efficiency. In order to indicate the application of the MFOM, a case study methodology was employed in Kish Island, Iran, which is characterized by a hot and humid climate. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed in the research process including literature and field survey, computer simulation, thermal, moisture and economic analysis finalized with a simple multi attribute rating technique (SMART) grading the outputs for final assessment. According to the results, it can be deducted that the application of the MFOM has the potential to save cost and energy, improve the thermal quality of the indoor environment while predicting the possible construction hazards posed by condensation in hot and humid climates.

“…Popular single-board microcontrollers like Arduino© or Raspberry Pi© have been readily adopted for the development of IEQ monitoring systems (e.g. Ali et al, 2016;Carre et al, 2016;Edirisinghe et al, 2012;Habibi, 2016;Mui et al, 2016;Salamone et al, 2015), effectively removing the limitation of carts requiring colocation of sensors through the use of autonomous, wireless technologies. But these systems appear to be proof-of-concept or project-specific tools, and therefore limited in scale.…”

Addressing two common challenges for building performance-reducing the carbon footprint attached to the provision of comfortable indoor environments, and improving the health and wellbeing of occupants-requires a more comprehensive understanding of how the indoor environments of buildings are operated. This paper introduces SAMBA, a state-of-the-art monitoring station for continuous, real-time measurements of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters from occupants' work desks. It combines a hardware solution that integrates a low-cost suite of sensors with a software platform designed to automatically analyse and visualize data for quick interpretation of IEQ performance by non-scientist. In addition to feeding a massive IEQ database for research, the resulting data may be used to better inform the metrological requirements for popular international IEQ rating schemes. This new era of indoor environmental monitoring based upon systems such as SAMBA affords a fundamentally new approach to built environmental field research that holds significant promise to improve building performance and indoor environmental quality and occupant satisfaction, health, wellbeing and performance.

“…The integrated software module is extremely flexible and adaptable, and the parameters can be adjusted according to the current situation, such as the number of people, equipment, exterior wall and window materials, and air-conditioning equipment. It could be used to simulate PMV and PPD, thereby enabling the identification of the reasons behind comfort issues and the comparison through simulated data with comfort requirement standards [37,38]. Accordingly, simulations using IES VE closely resemble actual situations, and the configurations that consider different situations can be directly fed back into the energy consumption data.…”

Green BIM Assessment Applying for Energy Consumption and Comfort in the Traditional Public Market: A Case Study

et al. 2019

This study focused on the energy consumption and environmental comfort of the traditional Xindian Central Public Retail Market. Established for more than 30 years, the market has been a crucial role in the daily life of local residents. Thus, the energy consumption and comfort level of the market are subjects of great concern. By using green building information modeling (BIM) simulation, which is an innovative assessment process that combines green buildings and BIM for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to achieve sustainability, this study explored the current situation of energy efficiency and comfort level of the market. A green BIM model of the market and surrounding area was constructed in Autodesk Revit. Subsequently, nine items pertaining to energy consumption and environmental comfort were selected from the green BIM model to conduct simulation by using the software package Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment (IES VE). Based on the IES VE simulation results, heat radiation was identified as one of the main causes of energy consumption in the market. Moreover, the results indicated problems of ventilation and insufficient sunlight inside the market. These analytical outcomes and optimization suggestions can be provided as references for retrofitting to obtain sustainable architectures in future.
