arXiv:2601. 06056v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: During 2025 and 2026, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is being implemented in the European Union member states, requiring all member states to have National Building Renovation Plans.
arXiv:2509. 09794v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computational models have emerged as powerful tools for multi-scale energy modeling research at the building and urban scale, supporting data-driven analysis across building and urban energy systems.
Remote-sensing systems usually describe urban content with detection boxes, semantic masks, or vector boundaries. Such outputs locate classes and support image-plane scoring, yet they do not by themselves constitute an executable layout that retains object identities, typed relations, topology, and regeneration rules.
arXiv:2606. 00871v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used to generate structured descriptions of street-level imagery for tasks such as streetscape auditing, mapping, and public consultation.
arXiv:2607. 14756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research investigates the potential of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to infer building typologies: Construction, Current Use, and Storeys from Google Street View (GSV) images.
arXiv:2606. 17637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Building Management Systems (BMS) are essential for optimizing energy efficiency and operational performance in modern buildings.
Housing-level urban physical examination is essential for identifying residential building problems and supporting targeted urban renewal. Existing automated inspection studies primarily rely on individual images and rarely examine whether surrounding urban functional context can provide supplementary information for building-level assessment.
arXiv:2608. 11244v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Construction standards are critical for building safety and sustainability.
arXiv:2607. 22613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper explores the intersection of memory, place, and identity, examining how new technologies, particularly Apple Vision Pro, can illuminate this nexus.
arXiv:2607. 22342v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The development of effective urban climate adaptation strategies requires comprehensive spatial information on rooftops and buildings, since such information underpins the assessment of ecosystem services provided by green infrastructure, particularly for urban heat island (UHI) mitigation.
arXiv:2501. 14546v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper investigates the novel application of Large Language Models (LLMs) with vision capabilities to analyze satellite imagery for village-level poverty prediction.
arXiv:2607. 24856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social media imagery (SMI) provides timely and fine-grained ground perspectives that are valuable for situational awareness and emergency response.
arXiv:2606. 15890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding urban wellbeing from multimodal data requires integrating heterogeneous spatial and temporal signals, posing significant challenges for current multimodal large language models (MLLMs).
