Surrogate optimization of energy retrofits in domestic building stocks using household carbon valuations (2022)
Journal Article
Hey, J., Siebers, P. O., Nathanail, P., Ozcan, E., & Robinson, D. (2022). Surrogate optimization of energy retrofits in domestic building stocks using household carbon valuations. Journal of Building Performance Simulation, https://doi.org/10.1080/19401493.2022.2106309

Modelling energy retrofit adoption in domestic urban building stocks is vital for policymakers aiming to reduce emissions. The use of surrogate models to evaluate building performance combined with optimization procedures can optimize small building...

RAT-RS: a reporting standard for improving the documentation of data use in agent-based modelling (2022)
Journal Article
Achter, S., Borit, M., Chattoe-Brown, E., & Siebers, P. (2022). RAT-RS: a reporting standard for improving the documentation of data use in agent-based modelling. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 25(4), 517-540. https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2022.2049511

This article describes and justifies a reporting standard to improve data use documentation in Agent-Based Modelling. Following the development of reporting standards for models themselves, empirical modelling has now developed to the point where the...
