Indoor comfort in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings depends on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Yet HVAC systems consume up to 40% of commercial building energy worldwide. With increasing energy costs and environmental awareness, enhancing HVAC energy efficiency has taken center stage among building managers, engineers, and policy makers.

Improving HVAC energy efficiency not only saves operating expenses but also contributes to reduced environmental footprint by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. This article discusses why energy efficiency in HVAC systems is crucial, major improvement strategies, state-of-the-art technologies, advantages, and emerging trends. Learn more

 

Ontology and Context in System-of-Systems Interoperability

In information science, an ontology is a formal representation of knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts. Ontologies are used to reason about the properties of a domain and to enable shared understanding and interoperability between people, systems, and organizations. They play a foundational role in structuring data, enabling semantic integration, supporting search and discovery, and underpinning automated reasoning systems. This paper explores the role of ontologies, hierarchical structures, and context in knowledge representation. It examines the completeness of domain ontologies, the interplay between entities and activities, and the challenges of integrating different ontologies. The discussion will also cover strategies for rationalizing contexts in ontological integration and the significance of meaningful entity connections within hierarchical structures.. Learn more
