As buildings account for over 40% of global energy consumption, innovative solutions are needed to improve efficiency, resilience, and environmental performance. This paper reviews the integration of Digital Twin (DT) technologies and Machine Learning (ML) for optimizing energy management in smart buildings connected to smart grids. A key enabler of this integration is the Internet of Things (IoT), which provides the sensor networks and real-time data streams that fee/d DT–ML frameworks, enabling accurate monitoring, forecasting, and adaptive control. Through this synergy, DT–ML systems enhance energy prediction, occupant comfort, and automated fault detection, while also supporting broader sustainability goals. The review examines recent advances in DT–ML energy systems, with attention to enabling technologies such as IoT sensor networks, building energy management systems, edge–cloud computing, and advanced analytics. Key challenges including data interoperability, cybersecurity, scalability, and the need for standardized frameworks are critically discussed, along with emerging solutions such as federated learning and blockchain. Special focus is given to human-centric digital twin frameworks that integrate user comfort and behavioral adaptation into energy optimization strategies. The findings suggest that DT–ML integration, enabled by IoT sensor networks, has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and improve resilience in urban infrastructures. The paper concludes by outlining future research priorities, including decentralized learning models, universal data standards, enhanced privacy protocols, and expanding digital twin applications for distributed renewable energy resources.展开更多

文摘In order to research the concrete archaized buildings with lintel-column joint,2 specimens were tested under dynamic experiment.The failure characteristics,skeleton curves,mechanical behavior such as the load-displacement hysteretic loops,load carrying capacity,degradation of strength and stiffness,ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were analyzed.The results indicate that comparies with the lintel-column joints,the loading capacity and energy dissipation of the concrete archaized buildings with dual lintel-column joints are higher,and the hysteretic loops is in plump-shape.However,the displacement ductility coefficient is less than that of lintel-column joints.Both of them of the regularity of rigidity degeneration are basically the same.Generally,the joints have the good energy dissipation capacity.And the concrete archaized buildings with lintel-column joints exhibit excellent seismic behavior.

文摘The green retrofit of existing public buildings is a necessary choice to promote energy conservation,emission reduction,and sustainable development goals in the construction industry,and to advance the implementation of the national"carbon peaking and carbon neutrality"strategy.The effective governance of green retrofit projects for existing public buildings essentially involves a dynamic process of repeated strategic interactions among key stakeholders.From the perspective of project governance,this study clarifies the game-theoretic relationship between ESCO and owners under government guidance,and constructs an evolutionary game model involving the government,ESCO,and owners.The study explores the strategic choices of the core stakeholders in the green retrofit projects of existing public buildings.The aim is to lay a foundation for research on the decision-making coordination and implementation mechanisms between ESCO and owners,thus promoting the efficient and healthy development of green retrofit projects for existing public buildings.
