Journal Article
Huo, X., Xu, X., Tang, Y., & Zhang, Z. (2021). An analysis of the spatial evolution and influencing factors of rural settlements along the Shandong section of the Grand Canal of China. River Research and Applications, 39(7), 1283-1299. https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3874

Since 1980s, the weakening of the transportation function of the Grand Canal and rapid urbanisation have generated significant changes in the spatial pattern of rural settlements along the Grand Canal. Analysing the changing characteristics of this s...

Coordinated energy-environmental-economic optimisation of building retrofits for optimal energy performance on a macro-scale: A life-cycle cost-based evaluation (2021)
Journal Article
Hong, Y., Ezeh, C. I., Deng, W., Hong, S.-H., Ma, Y., Tang, Y., & Jin, Y. (2021). Coordinated energy-environmental-economic optimisation of building retrofits for optimal energy performance on a macro-scale: A life-cycle cost-based evaluation. Energy Conversion and Management, 243, Article 114327. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.114327

Given that energy-efficiency policies focus on meso- or macro-scale interventions, it is imperative to establish a macro-scale evaluation approach for building retrofits to support policymaking in building energy conservation, management and sustaina...

A target-driven decision-making multi-layered approach for optimal building retrofits via agglomerative hierarchical clustering: A case study in China (2021)
Journal Article
Hong, Y., Ezeh, C., Zhao, H., Deng, W., Hong, S.-H., & Tang, Y. (2021). A target-driven decision-making multi-layered approach for optimal building retrofits via agglomerative hierarchical clustering: A case study in China. Building and Environment, 197, Article 107849. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2021.107849

The optimization of energy, environmental and economic (3E) outcomes is the principal approach to identifying retrofit solutions for a sustainable built environment. By applying this approach and defining a set performance target, this study proposes...
