Smart Audio Sensing-based Maintenance of HVAC Systems
NSF EAGER, 2016-2017 Lead PI: Ravi Srinivasan with PIs from UNC Chapel Hill & G2 Inc. We employ an unsupervised learning approach to model and encode the regular pattern in the acoustic time-series data, and to discover if a running

Neighborhood- and building- level assessments in Dynamic-SIM Workbench
Dynamic Sustainability Information Modeling (Dynamic-SIM) Workbench allows seamless analysis across two levels — the neighborhood- and building- levels. At the neighborhood level, users will be able to import the features (exported from GIS layers), and other pertinent information overlaid on

The Hierarchy of Energy in Architecture: Emergy Analysis (Book)
The laws of thermodynamics—and their implications for architecture—have not been fully integrated into architectural design. Architecture and building science too often remain constrained by linear concepts and methodologies regarding energy that occlude significant quantities and qualities of energy. The Hierarchy
