The heating load of residential buildings is closely related to the local microclimate. However, there is a lack of quantitative indicators for assessing the impact of the outdoor microclimate on building heating loads in Lhasa residential buildings....

The diffusion of intelligent construction technologies has improved construction efficiency and information integration, while also increasing the complexity and uncertainty of governance decisions in megaprojects. In particular, selecting an appropr...

This study focuses on the development of sustainable construction materials via geopolymers synthesized from metakaolin and slag, aiming to identify environmentally friendly alternatives for construction material systems. A metakaolin–slag geop...

Construction projects are inherently exposed to high levels of uncertainty due to technical complexity, multiple stakeholders, and dynamic operating environments. However, empirical evidence on the systematic implementation of risk management practic...

Achieving adequate thermal comfort in classrooms in hot cities in southern Mexico is challenging. A heterogeneous distribution of air conditioning flow leads to thermal discomfort, affecting occupants’ academic performance and increasing energy...

To improve the computational efficiency of complex fatigue assessments, this study proposes a framework that integrates high-fidelity finite element analysis (FEA)with ensemble learning for evaluating the fatigue performance of weathering steel welde...

Ventilated façade systems are being increasingly used in energy-efficient building envelopes due to their configurational flexibility and potential to reduce thermal bridging. This study focuses on the experimental evaluation of anchoring comp...

Hospitals are among the most energy-intensive buildings, yet their heating systems often operate below optimal efficiency due to outdated controls and limited sensing. Existing facilities often provide only a few accessible measurement points, many o...

The traditional cost estimation process in construction involves extracting information from diverse data sources and relying on human intuition and judgment, making it time-intensive and error-prone. While recent advancements in large language model...

As a pillar industry of the national economy for many countries, the construction sector has long faced challenges in workplace safety. Unsafe behaviors among construction workers are the core cause of safety incidents, and controlling these behavior...
