Buildings' expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual
observations. This is commonly referred to as the energy performance gap. As such, many …

This paper aimed to review the literature of the past ten years about the energy performance
of buildings during their operational stage. The focus of this review was empirical works that …

Many higher education institutions (HEIs) around the world are involved in a variety of
sustainability initiatives. These are acknowledged to be important elements in fostering the …

The energy performance gap is one of the most discussed issues in the design community
since energy modeling became an integral part of the building design process. Different …

Abstract The Energy Performance Gap (EPG) in buildings is a recognized phenomenon.
However, its definition and underlying factors are extensive, necessitating a thorough …

In this work, we propose a Realistic Scheduling Mechanism (RSM) to reduce user frustration
and enhance appliance utility by classifying appliances with respective constraints and their …

Despite the endorsement of green building regulations and the incorporation of energy-
efficient technologies, commercial buildings often fail to achieve the desired energy …

Universities have an important role towards a sustainable future. It is essential to understand
their energy consumption and how to improve their efficiency. This paper aims to review the …

Building LCA aims at guiding designers towards more sustainable projects. Many sources of
uncertainties affect environmental modelling. Therefore, the reliability of decisions based on …

While there is an increasing integration of connected devices in buildings to reduce energy
consumption, little evidence exists regarding the effective environmental impact of the smart …
