Multi-criteria design methods in façade engineering: State-of-the-art and future trends

Façade engineering is facing an era of extraordinary challenge to meet the surge in demand for buildings that are environmentally sustainable and enhance occupant wellbeing. Facades, also known as building envelopes, play a major role in the resource-efficiency of buildings and the quality of its indoor environment. Consequently, the...

A multi-objective optimization and multi-attribute decision-making analysis for technical-thermodynamic-economic evaluation considering the rock damage on production performance of hot dry rock geothermal resources

In the long-term mining of geothermal resources in hot dry rock (HDR), the change of thermal stress and pore pressure will increase fracture conductivity evolution, further improving production performance. The optimization and decision-making of the development scheme based on the impact of damage from fractures have yet to be reported. The...
