Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is largest energy consumer in buildings. Worldwide, buildings consume 20% of the total energy production. Therefore, increasing efficiency of the HVAC system will result in significant financial savings. As one solution, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tanks are being utilized with buildings to store excess energy to be reused later. An optimal...
Large-scale distributed systems are difficult to debug in the event of failure. Yet rapid fault diagnosis that pinpoints failures to the component level is critical to fast recovery. We introduce a statistical approach to fault diagnosis that utilizes a dependency graph of execution to automatically discover the most probable fault cause(s) at a component level (either software or hardware resource)...
The future power grid is expected to provide unprecedented flexibility in how energy is generated, distributed, and managed, which increasingly necessitates an ability to perform accurate short-term small-scale electricity load and generation forecasting, e.g., at the level of individual buildings or sites. In this paper, we present a novel building-level neural network-based ensemble model for day-ahead...
Nowadays, numerous applications involving spatial data are emerging. While efficient management of tremendous spatial-temporal objects is a challenge due to the highly dynamic nature of the data, the demand for fast getting query results and minimum update cost. However, the query performance optimizations and the update cost minimizations cannot be achieved at the same time. In this paper, a novel...
XBRL is the latest technology used in processing accounting information. The core part of XBRL is the creation and application of taxonomy. XBRL taxonomy engineering is a special case of software engineering. From the software engineering perspective, the result of the design phase in XBRL taxonomy is the metadata model and the result of the building phase is XBRL element definition converted from...
In recent years, energy and environment issues are becoming more and more serious. As a country like China with largest architectural area in the world, it is especially significant to develop renewable energy in replacing conventional energy and practicing building energy consumption. Nowadays, the renewable energy software cannot analyze data for monitoring and forecasting. Thus, based on Visual...
In protein structure prediction, identifying the inter-residue contacts is a very important task to understand the mechanism of complicated protein folding and therefore to predict three-dimensional structures of proteins. So far, many methods were developed to predict inter-residue contacts. However, no special database consisting of detailed inter-residue contacts for each PDB protein chain has...
