    Abstract In recent advancements within wireless sensor networks (WSN), the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has emerged as a groundbreaking strategy for enhancing routing efficiency and overall network functionality. This research introduces a sophisticated framework, driven by computational intelligence, that merges clustering techniques with UAV mobility to refine routing strategies in WSNs. The proposed approach divides the sensor field into distinct sectors and implements a novel weighting system for the selection of cluster heads (CHs). This system is primarily aimed at reducing energy consumption through meticulously planned routing and path determination. Employing a greedy algorithm More >

    Abstract Building energy performance is a function of numerous building parameters. In this study, sensitivity analysis on twenty parameters is performed to determine the top three parameters that have the most significant impact on the energy performance of buildings. Actual data from two fully operational commercial buildings were collected and used to develop a building energy model in the Quick Energy Simulation Tool (eQUEST). The model is calibrated using the Normalized Mean Bias Error (NMBE) and Coefficient of Variation of Root Mean Square Error (CV(RMSE)) method. The model satisfies the NMBE and CV(RMSE) criteria set by… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract As buildings evolve to meet the challenges of energy efficiency and indoor comfort, phase change materials (PCM) emerge as a promising solution due to their ability to store and release latent heat. This paper explores the transformative impact of incorporating PCM on the hygrothermal dynamics of multi-zone constructions. The study focuses on analyzing heat transfer, particularly through thermal conduction, in a wall containing PCM. A novel approach was proposed, wherein the studied system (sensitive balance) interacts directly with a latent balance to realistically define the behavior of specific humidity and mass flow rates.

In particular, UAV can collect the computing tasks of the terrestrial users and transmit the results back to them after computing. We jointly optimize the users’ transmitted beamforming and uploading ratios, the phase shift matrix of IRS, and the UAV trajectory to improve the energy efficiency. The formulated optimization problem is highly non-convex and difficult to be solved directly. Therefore, we decompose the original problem into three sub-problems. We first More >
