Abstract. The accelerating energy transition requires a well-trained workforce capable of im-plementing innovative building technologies and renewable energy systems. However, em-ployees in the construction and HVAC installation sectors often lack access to up-to-date train-ing due to high workloads, …

Entrepreneurship education (EE) tools and methods have proliferated across institutions, yet educators struggle to systematically access, compare, and select from available resources. While competency frameworks like EntreComp define what students should learn, practitioners lack navigable guidance …

Meta-analyses on the effectiveness of Montessori education report positive outcomes on both academic and social measures. However, Montessori schools vary considerably, and there is limited empirical literature examining how differences in implementation affect outcomes. To better understand the effectiveness …

Local energy transitions are promoted as means to achieve decarbonization, ensure democratic participation by local communities in energy decision-making, and foster social acceptance of renewable energy projects. However, despite the growing maturity of energy technologies and increased policy support, …

orecasting the thermal behavior of ?exible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within EMS require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time decisions. To bridge …

Faults silently degrade HVAC performance, wasting energy and diminishing indoor well-being. How can artificial intelligence help us diagnose them? This paper shares insights into challenges of large-scale practical HVAC diagnostics and presents efforts from the Brains4Buildings project, specifically …
