Following construction, a building\u0026#39;s energy footprint typically remains relatively stagnant, effectively locking-in that building\u0026#39;s energy usage for its lifetime.\u0026nbsp; With 50% of America\u0026rsquo;s building stock built before 1980 and only 0.5\u0026ndash;1% of existing buildings retrofitted annually, it is essential to reduce guesswork and make building energy retrofits more accessible to reduce the energy footprint of the building sector.\u0026nbsp; Building retrofits are plagued by a lack of original design documentation and general uncertainty regarding the building\u0026#39;s envelope composition and integrity.\u0026nbsp; The goal is this work is to utilize the power of transient heat transfer modeling to non-intrusively characterize the thermal properties of a building\u0026#39;s envelope to inform energy modeling, facade design, and project appraisal.\u0026nbsp; This thesis presents a literature survey of the state-of-the-art in in-situ thermal testing, a thermal characterization methodology to non-destructively identify representative thermal properties for existing building envelopes, a simulation-based study to verify the thermal characterization method, two physical experiments to validate the thermal characterization method, and a proof-of-concept machine learning approach to classify in-service assemblies via the proposed thermal characterization methodology.\u0026nbsp; This dissertation is designed to bridge the gap between the discrete procedures of building audits and building energy modeling processes to enable a better understanding of existing building envelopes and reduce guesswork from envelope retrofits.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Towards Understanding an Imperfect Built Environment: A Methodology for In-Situ Characterization of Building Envelope Thermal Performance"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2022-02-18 15:27:01","changed_gmt":"2022-02-18 15:27:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-03-03T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-03-03T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-03-03T14:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-03-03 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-03-03 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-03-03 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
