INFORMATICS IN BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
Energy load estimation of occupants is the premise of optimizing energy management and providing effective interfere. Through Wi-Fi-based indoor position system, the events of building entering and leaving could be captured by Wi-Fi access points. Coupled with the building energy management systems, the building energy load variation could be estimated and associated with Wi-Fi connection and disconnection.
AGENT-BASED MODELING AND NETWORK SIMULATION
Through a class of computational models, agent-based modeling (ABM) is able to simulate the interaction of autonomous agents or organizations with a view to assessing their effects on the system as a whole. The global behavior and pattern will emerge as a result of interactions of individual behaviors. ABM is a suitable tool to study complex engineering systems.
INNOVATIONS IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Innovation is the key to the successful sustainable development. It isn’t just about developing new technologies, but includes new ideas to solve old problems in more creative ways.
