Circumnavigating the Earth with an ultra-long distance balloon

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2018

description: Our project was to complete a full circumnavigation of the earth using a ultra-long distance
balloon. Circumnavigation of the Earth represented the unique challenge of getting a balloon to
return to the longitude from which it was launched, after traveling around the globe. Due to the
unpredictability of long-distance balloon flights, three separate launches were planned. The
balloon was designed to achieve and maintain a constant altitude, called a float altitude. The
primary components included in the balloon design were the tracking payload and the balloon.
The tracking system used was an Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS), which sent global
positioning packets to amateur radio stations and allowed the team to verify the success or failure
of the balloon circumnavigation. The balloon designs were made of a thin film of either mylar or
polyethylene. The first of the three launches failed to circumnavigate the Earth; its last known
location was off the Atlantic coast, east of North Carolina. Despite this flights failure to
circumnavigate, the balloon proved that a predictable float altitude could be achieved.

description: Additional file 1: Optimising trap crop placement for detecting pea bruchid (Bruchus pisorum) in the Wairarapa. This supplement describes how the best placement was determined for trap crops grown in the 2017–18 season to detect pea bruchid, Bruchus pisorum (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in the Wairarapa. Two scenarios were investigated, differing in whether or not the 2016-17 trap crops were repeated in 2017–18. Figures S4 and S5 show the risk map and locations for the first 25 trap crops as suggested by the model, and figure S6 shows how each successive trap crop contributed to the overall surveillance efficacy. After about 20 trap crops there was minimal difference in efficacy between the alternative strategies of re-using and enhancing the 2016–17 trap crops, and allocating all trap crops from scratch. Both strategies arrived at similar distributions of trap crops. Over all, the analysis suggested that any additional trap crops should be located in the highest risk zone.

description: Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA) estimated the cost to replace 112,000 km of water mains in Canada to be 34 billion Canadian Dollars. Reliability analysis of water distribution networks (WDNs) is an important aspect in planning and operation of a WDN and hence plays an important role in the efficient use of allocated budget. In general, reliability analysis is classified into mechanical reliability and hydraulic reliability. Mechanical reliability is defined as the ability to function even when some components are out of service or there is any mechanical break. Hydraulic reliability is concerned with delivery of the specified quantity of water to a specific location at the required time under the desired pressure. This paper introduces a methodology for evaluating mechanical reliability of WDNs using the minimum cut set approach. The methodology involves the computation of mechanical reliability at the component (pipe, hydrant etc.), segment (collection of pipes and components) and network levels. An illustrative example is worked out to demonstrate the use of the developed methodology.

description: Concrete made with Portland cement is one of the most used construction material in the world. Engineers and scientists are always looking to improve its sustainable properties. The durability of concrete is a determining factor in the service life of a structure. The durability of cement based materials is strongly influenced by its porous structure. Previous research has shown that the use of fly ash in concrete mixtures as partial substitution of Portland cement produces a pozzolanic reaction that changes concrete’s micro-structure. As a concrete mineral admixture, fly ash improves concrete’s mechanical properties and durability while providing economic and environmental benefits. The objective of this paper is to present the results of a study that investigated the influence of fly ash on the durability of concrete mixed with ASTM C150: Type I cements. The methodology included mixing three different ASTM C150: Type I cements with three different percentages of fly ash each for a total of 9 different combinations. Durability, physical, and mechanical properties tests were performed on the concrete samples from each mix. The results indicate that the performance of concrete with fly ash varies based on the characteristics of the cement used and the amount of fly ash used in the mixture. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the best result for experimental concrete with 25% fly ash substitution were obtained with concrete Y (C3S = 55.31%), while with 50% fly ash substitution the best results were obtained with cement Z (C3S = 77.04%). These combinations increase the concrete’s durability while reducing costs and providing environmental benefits. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by increasing the understanding of the influence of cement properties in fly ash on the durability of concrete.

“An Italian of the Vatican Type”: The Roman Formation of Cardinal Paul Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin
Creators: name: Barr, Colin
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Paul Cullen was the most influential figure in Ireland between the
death of Daniel O’Connell in 1847 and the rise of Charles Stewart
Parnell in the late 1870s. As Archbishop of Armagh (1849-52) and
then Dublin (1852-78) and Ireland’s first Roman Catholic cardinal
(1866), he exercised an unprecedented influence in both Ireland’s
dominant Roman Catholic Church and in Irish society. What is
less known is the nearly 30 years he spent in Rome, first as a student
at the Urban College of the Propaganda Fide and then as rector
of the Irish College in the city. His immersion in the multilingual
environment of papal Rome was crucial in the shaping of his later
career in Ireland. This essay traces the first ten or so years of Cullen’s
time in Rome, focusing on the important lessons, experiences,
and networks that he developed there. Most importantly, attention
is given to Cullen’s relationship with Mauro Cappellari, from 1831
Pope Gregory XVI. Cullen’s academic success drew him into the
small network of Cappellari’s protégés and informed the whole of
his life, including in Ireland.

Confounding the Garibaldian Liars: The Letters of Albert Delahoyde, Irish Soldier of the Papal Battalion of St Patrick and Papal Zouave in Italy, 1860-1870
Creators: name: O’Driscoll, Florry
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Albert Delahoyde was representative of the strong sense of Irish
Catholic nationalism that inspired young Irishmen to volunteer to
serve Pope Pius IX in 1860. His experiences aid us in understanding
how the Irish viewed Italy during the nineteenth century, especially
as his lengthy stay in Italy meant that he witnessed the completion
of Italian unification in 1870. In the wider picture, the relationship
between Ireland and Italy at this point in the mid-nineteenth century
was one of lost possibilities. Despite a number of commonalities
in the respective situations of Ireland and Italy, the events of the
1860s demonstrated how the two countries negatively impacted on
each other, as, due to the transnational dimension of Catholicism,
their respective causes could no longer remain the same.

Year: 2016

description: John Hogan (1800-1858) was a sculptor who began his career by studying
the collection of plaster casts of Vatican marbles in Cork. He moved to
Rome in 1824 where he was deeply influenced by the neoclassical sculpture
of Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen. His period of greatest
activity was the 1830s and 1840s. Nearly all his work was for Irish patrons
and he returned regularly to Ireland for commissions. He carved
ideal and religious subjects, memorials, portrait busts and figure monuments.
His most important themes were drawn from Catholicism and
Irish nationalism. He was deeply committed to the papacy and to the constitutional Irish nationalism of Daniel O’Connell. He lived and worked
near the Corso in Rome and was well regarded by his peers. After the
Roman revolution he returned to Ireland in 1849 where he died in 1858.

System dynamics modelling for an urban water system : net-zero water analysis for Peachland (BC)

description: A Net-zero water (NZW) community limits the consumption of freshwater resources and returns water back to the same watershed, so as not to deplete the groundwater and surface water resources of that region in quantity and quality over the course of a year. A NZW study includes the analysis of various combinations of water supply sources, water conservation, and reuse over time. Such dynamics can be modelled by using system dynamics. This article aims to develop a system dynamics model (SDM) to achieve NZW at the urban community level. The SDM was developed by including all life cycle stages of urban water using STELLA® software. The developed SDM was validated using the historical data of Peachland water consumption (BC). Moreover, the model was applied to analyze NZW of the Peachland community during 2015-34 by considering six different scenarios. In the base case scenario, two thirds of the supplied water will be used for irrigation and will not be directly available to the community for reuse. As the community is in a semi-arid region, the Peachland community can only achieve NZW or even net-plus water for the initial five years by considering Peachland as a typical urban community without agriculture, and by implementing various water efficiency improvement measures. However, due to the projected increase in water demand, the NZW cannot be achieved after 2019.

Portraits and the Artist: Richard Rothwell’s Roman Adventures
Creators: name: O’Brien, Catherine
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Richard Rothwell was an Irish portraitist who was successful in London
in the late 1820s. Despite this achievement he felt he had to leave London
to acquaint himself with the Italian Masters and see what trends were in
demand in Rome in the early 1830s. This chapter analyses how the Italian
experience affected his creativity and examines the reasons for his proclivity
towards genre and landscape over portraits in works produced up to
his death in 1868. Attention is paid to the Rothwell holdings in the National
Gallery of Ireland and the National Museum of Northern Ireland.
The reasons for the negative reaction to Rothwell’s “Italian” art on his return
to England are examined while it is also argued that he may have
retained his initial success as a portrait painter had he never gone to Italy.

Safe RuleFit: Learning Optimal Sparse Rule Model by Meta Safe Screening

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We consider the problem of learning a sparse rule model, a prediction model in the form of a sparse linear combination of rules, where a rule is an indicator function defined over a hyper-rectangle in the input space. Since the number of all possible such rules is extremely large, it has been computationally intractable to select the optimal set of active rules. In this paper, to solve this difficulty for learning the optimal sparse rule model, we propose Safe RuleFit (SRF). Our basic idea is to develop meta safe screening (mSS), which is a non-trivial extension of well-known safe screening (SS) techniques. While SS is used for screening out one feature, mSS can be used for screening out multiple features by exploiting the inclusion-relations of hyper-rectangles in the input space. SRF provides a general framework for fitting sparse rule models for regression and classification, and it can be extended to handle more general sparse regularizations such as group regularization. We demonstrate the advantages of SRF through intensive numerical experiments.
A Musical Italy: Michael W. Balfe’s Italian Experiences
Creators: name: Walsh, Basil
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: The Dublin-born musician, Michael W. Balfe, was a singer, composer
and conductor whose brilliant musical career was heavily influenced by
formative experiences in Italy. In 1825, Balfe, interested in broadening
his musical studies first went to Paris where he was introduced to the
great composers, Luigi Cherubini and Gioachino Rossini, who took a
personal interest in him and his musical talents. On the advice of Rossini
he spent the next few years in Italy studying singing with the famous
Rossini singer, Filippo Galli, and taking music composition lessons
from Ferdinando Paer, in Rome. Later in Milan he studied harmony
and counterpoint with Vincenzo Federici. By 1831, when he was only
23 years old, his first three operas had been produced in Palermo, Pavia,
and Milan. He returned to London in August 1835, participating
with the great Lablache, Tamburini, Rubini and Grisi in a concert in
Vauxhall Gardens. In 1834 he made his debut at La Scala, Milan, singing
opposite the renowned mezzo-soprano, Maria Malibran in Rossini’s
Otello. He appeared again with Malibran in Venice early in 1835,
singing once more in Rossini and Bellini operas. Balfe worked as a singer
and composer throughout the Italian peninsula/states during the years,
1825-1835 and this article will chart these experiences and demonstrate
how the time he spent in Italy and the people he met, influenced his
life and later career as an important and popular European composer.

Lady Morgan in Italy: A Traveller with an Agenda
Creators: name: Abbate Badin, Donatella
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Lady Morgan (née Sydney Owenson) was a professional Irish traveller
and travel-writer, who spent over a year on the peninsula. The travelogue
Italy (1821) she was commissioned to write on the basis of the reputation
she had acquired as a novelist (e.g. The Wild Irish Girl, 1806) and
a socio-political writer (France, 1817), left a mark on Italy and on the
understanding of Italy in Great Britain. Her writings, in fact, helped
disseminate the ideal of a unified Italy and influence British and Irish
public opinion in favour of Italy’s aspirations to cast off foreign or domestic
autocratic rule. Moreover, she used her travelogue to serve the
cause of Ireland disguising a patriotic message about her home country
under her many sallies about nationalism and the right to self-determination
concerning Italy. The political impact of her book, unusual
for a travel account written by a woman, was enhanced by Morgan’s
radical ideology, the gender bias of her observations and her original
methods. The present article purposes to examine Morgan’s double,
feminine and masculine, approach of mixing solid documentation with
apparently frivolous notes originating in the feminine domain of society
news, commentary on the domestic scene and emotional reporting on
social and historical events. Distrusting male-authored official history,
Morgan gave a central place in her work to the informal sources from
which she gathered her insights about Italy. Analysing how she came to
obtain the contemporary input for elaborating her ideas will be the aim
of this chapter which will dwell on the more worldly aspects of Morgan’s
sojourn in the peninsula focussing on the company she kept, the
activities she partook of, the events of a domestic nature she witnessed.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In the construction industry, there is a continued need for training current employees as well as future employees. Such training opportunities that exist include safety, technical, and project management. Historically training has included lectures from subject matter experts by those considered to be experts in a particular subject or field. However, this has required removing personnel from projects to allow time for training or by requiring employees to invest time outside the normal working hours for training. With the advent of the internet, on-site lectures have been replaced with webinars and/or telecast to allow personnel to remain in one location and receiving training; however, many educators cite that student engagement is often limited and learning is not as in-depth when compared to in-person training sessions. One new training technology that is developing is the use of virtual simulations that are designed to allow for specialized training while engaging them in the educational process. One such simulation, the COnstruction INdustry Simulation (COINS), has been developed to train students in the management of a construction company managing multiple projects simultaneously. COINS engages students in the decision making of heavy civil construction and commercial building sector. This simulation has been used in the classroom and now is just available to construction firms to use with personnel. This paper describes the development and use of COINS simulation designed and developed to educate future and existing construction management personnel. It is currently used at a number of different universities including the Czech Technical University in Prague.

Charles Lever: An Irish Writer in Italy
Creators: name: McCourt, John
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Victorian Irish novelist Charles Lever spent much of his adult life
living in Italy and in the partly Italian city of Trieste, serving as
British Vice-Consul in La Spezia and later as Consul in Trieste. He
used his experience and knowledge of Italy as the source for many
articles and as raw material for the Italian sections of his novels. He
is one of the most acute observers of Italian life at the time of the
unification of Italy but his experience in il bel paese also played a key

“From Cork […] to St. Peter’s Cupola”: The Idea of Italy in the Writings of Francis Sylvester Mahony
Creators: name: Dunne, Fergus
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: This article reconsiders the comparativist aesthetic of Francis Sylvester
Mahony’s “Prout Papers” in relation to the direct crosscomparisons
of Irish and Italian circumstances in his later Roman
journalism, emphasising the importance of Italy to the two works
he published in book form. It traces the development of Mahony’s
thoughts on Catholic identity and nationalist politics in his Italian
writings. The decentred perspective on contemporary Ireland provided
by his commentaries on Italian affairs is used to discuss Mahony’s
interest in ‘doubleness’, focussing especially on his sometimes
provocative efforts to arrive at political understanding through the
dialectical examination of opposed viewpoints.

description: Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati al Convegno internazionale “FORUM. Strutture, funzioni e sviluppo degli impianti forensi in Italia (IV sec. a.C. - I sec. d.C.)”, promosso dal Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità di Sapienza Università di Roma, in collaborazione con la British School at Rome e l’Università di Verona. Le sezioni tematiche, dopo la disamina di alcune problematiche di respiro generale (“Aspetti generali”), sono dedicate ad alcuni casi di studio relativi a “Roma e l’Italia centrale” e ad altre aree della penisola. Aggiornamenti vengono forniti per singoli siti archeologici, ma non mancano studi su territori più vasti, dalle città sabine, all’area picena, alla Cisalpina. Il volume è dedicato alla cara memoria di Enzo Lippolis, uno dei promotori dell’iniziativa nonché allora Direttore del Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità, che ebbe un ruolo decisivo nella formulazione dei temi di discussione e che attivamente coinvolse colleghi e giovani ricercatori.
Luke Wadding and Irish Diplomatic Activity in Seventeenth-Century Rome
Creators: name: Binasco, Matteo
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: The aim of this article is to provide a new assessment of the diplomatic
role played by the most prominent Irishman in seventeenthcentury
Rome: the Franciscan Luke Wadding. Hitherto, the available
analyses on Wadding have focused on his literary and theological
activity, with the consequence that, with the exception of one old
essay, the ‘diplomatic’ role he played for the Irish Confederates during
the years from 1641 to 1649 has been neglected. Indeed, during
this crucial period, he acted as the agent of the Irish Confederates at
the papal curia, thus strengthening his role as the most influential
Irishman in Rome. The article will illustrate how this appointment
placed Wadding under growing pressure from Ireland, and how this
led him to play a seminal role in shaping or influencing the decisions
taken by the Holy See concerning his country.

Un interesse reciproco: lo scambio di rappresentanze diplomatiche tra Santa Sede e Irish Free State
Creators: name: Di Sanzo, Donato
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: In 1930 the Holy See appointed Mgr Paschal Robinson Apostolic
Nuncio to the Irish Free State. By establishing a nunciature in Dublin,
Vatican diplomacy obtained an important ‘observation post’ in
the heart of the English-speaking world. Thus the arrival in Dublin
of the Nuncio turned out to be beneficial for the Irish government’s
diplomatic relations. Investigation of this vital diplomatic exchange
have been carried out in the Vatican Secret Archives where unpublished
records are held.

Political Prisoners and the Irish Language: A North-South Comparison
Creators: name: Reinisch, Dieter
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: The Irish language is witnessing a revival in some parts of Ulster.
This revival is most visible in Belfast where An CheathrúGhaeltachta
(Gaeltacht Quarter) was founded to promote the Irish language.
While Irish was marginalized during the conflict in the North, Belfast,
for example, had more Gaelscoileanna (Irish-language schools)
than any other city in Ireland except Dublin and Cork in 2013. One
of the most important aspects for this development was the release
of the Irish Republican prisoners following the signing of the Good
Friday Agreement in 1998. In contrast to the North, although considered
as the national language in the southern Republic of Ireland,
the Irish language is further declining in the South. Thus, while the
former Republican prisoners perform a pivotal role in the North,
their role in re-vitalising the language in the Republic is marginalized.
By comparing the role of the Irish language in Long Kesh/
HMP Maze and Portlaoise Prison, I will discuss two aspects for this
North-South divergence. These two differences are first the role of
former prisoners within their community, and second the colonial/
post-colonial framework of the two states.

“Who am I? Well, I’m Irish anyway, that’s something.” Iris Murdoch and Ireland
Creators: name: De Petris, Carla
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: Peter J. Conradi, a lifelong friend and biographer of Iris Murdoch,
born in Dublin of Anglo-Irish parents, speaks of her attachment to/
detachment from her country of origin as follows: “Her Irish connection
was reflected in a lifetime’s intellectual and emotional engagement
[that] – before her illness – transformed her from a romantic
Marxist idealist to a hard-line Unionist and defender of the politics
of Ian Paisley” (Conradi 2001b). This article is an attempt to investigate
possible connections between Murdoch’s social, ethnic, and
religious background and her philosophy based on up-rooted and
rootedness and self-distancing (terms borrowed from Simone Weil)
personified in the characters of her numerous novels. Her only works
set in Ireland, namely the short story “Something Special” (1958),
and the novels The Unicorn (1963) and The Red and the Green (1965),
will be analysed and compared with the novels of another womanwriter
from the same background, Jennifer Johnston, the doyen of
Irish writers, who has inherited and modified the same tradition in
the light of contemporary Irish history.

description: We examine the problem of the linearity of an algebraic torus action in the associative setting. We prove the free algebra analog of a classical theorem of BialynickiBirula, which establishes linearity of maximal torus action. Additionally, we formulate and prove linearity theorems for specific classes of regular actions, and provide a framework for constructing non-linearizable actions, analogous to the work of Asanuma. This framework has applications in the study of the Associative Cancellation Conjecture. Furthermore, we show the existence of two non-isomorphic algebras, whose free products with a polynomial ring are isomorphic.

Culture in construction engineering
Creators: name: Allison, Leigh A.
name: Kaminsky, Jessica A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The idea of culture has become a hot topic in construction engineering research. However, this term is used with many meanings. As such, the objective of this paper is to present a content analysis of the online record of ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management (JCEM). A 2014 keyword search for “culture” in JCEM returned 557 articles. The authors reviewed the abstracts of each paper to categorize them according to the purpose statement: international markets (70 articles), safety (63 articles), and collaborative working arrangements (40 articles) emerged as the most frequent themes of the articles. The identified papers were then downloaded in full text form and imported into QSR NVivo, a qualitative coding software package. These articles were then searched for use of the word culture in conventional content analysis. Definitions of culture were extracted from the articles presenting a wide array of interpretations with respect to culture. Finally, this paper reviews the various theoretical bases for culture used in each category, and makes recommendations for future research in culture and construction based on the findings.
Resisting Motherhood in Thomas Kilroy’s Talbot’s Box
Creators: name: Scully, Sean
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2016

description: This paper discusses the heretofore unexamined role of women characters
as performing agents in Thomas Kilroy’s play, Talbot’s Box.
Employing a close analysis of textual patterns, it argues that the
first Priest Figure and the Woman represent a collaborative effort by
two women to highlight and to resist their confinement into roles
of symbolized motherhood. In this aim, they are ultimately unsuccessful.
Their relationship is fractured, and its object thwarted by
the actions of the play’s male characters. We see their suppression as
shameful indictment of what it means to be a woman in the world
Kilroy is showing us, and by drawing attention to their pain, we are
better able to understand why Matt Talbot seeks a life of solitude.

Naive Feature Selection: a Nearly Tight Convex Relaxation for Sparse Naive Bayes
Creators: name: Askari, Armin

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: Due to its linear complexity, naive Bayes classification remains an attractive supervised learning method, especially in very large-scale settings. We propose a sparse version of naive Bayes, which can be used for feature selection. This leads to a combinatorial maximum-likelihood problem, for which we provide an exact solution in the case of binary data, or a bound in the multinomial case. We prove that our convex relaxation bounds becomes tight as the marginal contribution of additional features decreases, using a priori duality gap bounds dervied from the Shapley-Folkman theorem. We show how to produce primal solutions satisfying these bounds. Both binary and multinomial sparse models are solvable in time almost linear in problem size, representing a very small extra relative cost compared to the classical naive Bayes. Numerical experiments on text data show that the naive Bayes feature selection method is as statistically effective as state-of-the-art feature selection methods such as recursive feature elimination, $l_1$-penalized logistic regression and LASSO, while being orders of magnitude faster.

description: Energy consumption in commercial buildings has been growing substantially in recent years. Recently, building energy consumption estimation tools have been used to calculate energy savings and emissions reduction. Energy performance of building is complicated since it depends on multiple variables associated to building characteristics, equipment and systems, weather, occupants, and sociological influences. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop the multi-linear regression models to predict energy consumption of an office building in five different climate regions in the United States. In order to achieve this objective, a typical commercial building was selected and the effect of 17 key building design parameters on its energy performance was investigated. To quantify building energy consumption, eQuest and DOE-2, which are building energy simulation software programs, were used to develop the building profile and perform annual energy simulation. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to create a ten thousands comprehensive dataset covering the full range of design parameters for each studied climate region. An in-house computer program was developed to implement the Monte Carlo simulation. Statistical analysis was performed using R statistical analysis program to develop a set of linear regression equations predicting energy consumption of each design scenario. The difference between obtained results from regression model and DOE-2 are largely within 5%. In addition, standardized regression coefficient was calculated to assess the sensitivity of heating, cooling, and total energy loads to different building design parameters across five climate zones. It is believed that the developed regression models can be used to estimate the energy consumption of office buildings in different climate regions when designers and engineers consider various building envelope designs in the early stages of the design.
