Prediction of the frost resistance of high-performance concrete based on RF-REF: A hybrid prediction approach

Xianguo Wu et al.

Summary: An intelligent framework based on the random forest algorithm is proposed to predict the frost resistance of concrete in extremely cold areas. The framework effectively eliminates coupling factors and noise, determines the optimal factor index system for concrete mix proportions, and establishes a regression prediction function between mix proportions and frost resistance. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified through a case study.

Participation, equity and access in global energy security provision: Towards a comprehensive perspective

Javier Valdes

Summary: This article discusses the concept of energy security and the public characteristics of the energy regime complex in the field of global energy governance. It emphasizes the importance of considering energy security as a global public good, and suggests that institutional arrangements for security of supply and demand should be conceptualized as transnational public goods. The extension of the public character of energy security may limit coordination in other areas of energy governance.

Identifying critical building-oriented features in city-block-level building energy consumption: A data-driven machine learning approach

Zhongnan Ye et al.

Summary: This study develops a data-driven random forest framework to model the relationship between city-block-level building-oriented features and building energy consumption, identifying seven critical features related to the built year of buildings, building gross floor area, building density, and the ratio of commercial buildings in the block. The developed framework could refine the features adopted in regional building energy models, providing practical implications for policymakers and city planners.

Enhancing building energy efficiency using a random forest model: A hybrid prediction approach

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an approach to predict building energy consumption based on the design of the building envelope and applies it to optimize the design parameters of a university teaching building in northern China. The most important parameters with the highest correlations to building energy consumption are found to be the comprehensive heat transfer coefficients of the exterior walls and outer windows, as well as the window-wall ratio. The RF model is shown to exhibit notable advantages in building energy consumption prediction compared to other models.
