From Architecture to Machine Learning: Xinyue Wang on Making Early-Stage Energy Optimisation Practical
What if predicting building energy demand did not require long simulation runs, heavy workflows, or massive datasets? Xinyue Wang recently defended her PhD, “Leveraging Machine Learning to Improve Early-stage Building Energy Optimization.” Originally trained as an architect, her research sits at the intersection of building energy simulation and machine learning. Her work focuses on making…

Interview: Reduction Roadmaps and Climate Limit-Values in Construction
As the construction sector works to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, one tool is rapidly gaining importance: limit-values that define how much climate impact new buildings are allowed to have. Across the Nordic countries, governments and industrial actors are developing their own versions of such limit-values, but they are doing so using very different methods. In their recent CISBAT…
