This article provides an overview of multi-fidelity modeling trends. Fidelity in modeling refers
to the level of detail and accuracy provided by a predictive model or simulation. Generally …

Different multi-fidelity surrogate (MFS) frameworks have been used for optimization or
uncertainty quantification. This paper investigates differences between various MFS …

In recent years, many new technological solutions have been introduced, aiming to improve
the ability of buildings to satisfy a variety of needs of human beings and the environment. As …

This paper presents first steps of a methodology for calibration of building simulation models
through definition of the parameters that most affect the main electric end-uses of a building …

Building designers are being increasingly pressurised to design buildings with high
standards of energy efficiency, performance and comfort in the shortest possible time …

It is not feasible to apply the traditional prediction method to predict hourly building cooling
load at the urban energy planning stage because of the limited building information and …

In this paper, the thermal and ventilation performance of an ecological house in Helsinki,
Finland are presented. The single-family dwelling has a well-insulated, wooden frame …

Architects form an integral link in the design of efficient buildings. Energy-efficient design
strategies therefore, require architects and engineers to work closely together in optimising …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to quantify the potential levels of greenhouse gas
(GHG) and cost savings from a set of households' energy saving measures, considered as …

With the increasing international shift from prescriptive to performance-based regulations, a
legislative call for the integration of predictive assessment tools in the design process has …
