📕 Cover Paper | Buildings, Volume 14, Issue 10 (October 2024) Research on Diagnosis and Assessment Processes and Methods for Existing Residential Buildings Based on Intelligent Assistance Models, by Chang Liu, Qiong Zhang, Yue Fan 范悦, Guanfeng Lin and Zhengyao Huang, from Shenzhen University and University of California, Berkeley ⭐ Keywords: #existinghomes; #diagnosticassessment; #assessmentlevels; intelligent assistive modeling; interactive software 🔗 Read for free at: https://lnkd.in/g86Wya-5 🔗 Buildings, Volume 14, Issue 10: https://lnkd.in/gqMrFawE

296 articles in Buildings (ISSN 2075-5309), Volume 14, Issue 10 (October 2024), are now available for free reading and download: https://lnkd.in/gqMrFawE ⭐ COVER STORY: This research introduces an innovative diagnostic method for existing residential buildings using intelligent modeling. It focuses on building vintage, façade, windows, balconies, and shading devices, establishing renovation intensity-based rules for service life, thermal performance, deterioration, and aesthetics, categorized into four grades (A–D). Tests in Shenzhen showed over 95% accuracy, outperforming traditional methods. Supported by an interactive software application, the model integrates machine learning and big data, enabling efficient, large-scale assessments to guide future refurbishment planning. 🔗 COVER PAPER: https://lnkd.in/g86Wya-5
