Latest European Union programs related to energy efficiency underline the need for retrofitting existing buildings, which are responsible for 40% of EU final energy consumption. Although new buildings can be constructed with high performance levels, the majority of the building stock, characterized by a low energy performance, still needs renovation. Thanks to its potential to deliver high ener...

Jauhar et al. (2015) recently proposed to learn sense-specific word representations by “retrofitting” standard distributional word representations to an existing ontology. We observe that this approach does not require an ontology, and can be generalized to any graph defining word senses and relations between them. We create such a graph using translations learned from parallel corpora. On a se...

Recovering old machinery, once it reaches its end of life, allows companies to be sustainable. Several strategies are available for this purpose, both from the point view hardware and software modifications. Especially in industrial sector, these classified as revamping, remanufacturing retrofitting. Machinery retrofitting all used improve equipment performance, efficiency sustainability. Each ...

To meet the EU energy-saving and decarbonisation goals, need for automated processes building renovation increases. This paper demonstrates development of RINNO Retrofitting Manager (RRM) with web service technologies presents its functionalities. The main purpose this platform is to rationalise onsite execution retrofitting process so as enable optimising delivery works. RRM was co-developed a...
