Regression analysis of electric energy consumption of commercial buildings in Brazil

This paper describes a regression analysis performed over parameters related to two commercial building types and three weather files of Brazilian cities. A random sampling technique was applied to reduce the number of simulation runs needed in the parametric analysis. Equations to estimate the electric energy consumption as a function of building parameters were obtained.

A practical approach to integrated indoor air mitigation: Graph invariants correlation and subfloor-ventilation lab tests

Radon as an indoor air pollutant has been extensively researched worldwide over the past thirtyyears. However, radon is only one of several other important pollutants present in the indooratmosphere. In addition to radon as an ubiquitous indoor pollutant, the simultaneous presence ofother non-radiological pollutants, such as toxic alkanes found in the working environment, needs tobe accounted for its integrated mitigation approach.
