Reducing Building Energy Performance Gap: Integrating Agent-Based Modelling and Building Performance Simulation by Chi-Li Chiang, John Calautit

“…The building energy performance gap (BEPG) remains a significant challenge, undermining the accuracy of energy simulations and complicating efforts to design energy-efficient buildings. This study addresses this issue by developing an adaptive occupant behaviour framework for office buildings, integrating agent-based modelling (ABM) with a building performance simulation (BPS) platform. …”

Reducing syndemics of non-communicable chronic diseases in Mayan Indigenous population through community-based participatory research: a mixed-methods study protocol by Maarten M H Lahr, Erik Buskens, Adalberto Loyola-Sanchez, Ingris Peláez-Ballestas, Alfonso Gastelum Strozzi, Emilio Motte-García, Cinthya Cadena-Trejo, María Fernanda Ramírez-Flores, María Victoria Fernandez-Garcia, Karen G Castillo-Hernandez, Kenia Nayrobi López-Herrera

“…We will follow four phases of the CBPR: (1) situational analysis, through community censuses and semistructured interviews to understand the prevalence of NCDs and the syndemics in these communities; (2) co-construction of the elements of a SCM based on the health priorities identified by researchers, community members and healthcare workers; (3) implementation of this SCM and (4) evaluation of the SCM through (1) statistical analyses involving the construction of a syndemic index through stepwise logistic regression of the normalised and standardised key clinical, social and economic variables; interval and ratio variables will be normalised by their z-score and categorical variables will be one-hot encoded; similarity and social networks analysis with clustering to identify syndemic subpopulations; and cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses using Markov modelling and (2) narrative and thematic qualitative analysis of the SCM’s implementation and impact on community members’ health, function and quality of life.Ethics and dissemination Research ethics boards of participant institutions approved this research protocol. …”
