Trends in Mandatory Municipal-Level Energy Benchmarking Policies for Large Commercial Buildings in the United States
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Mandatory municipal energy benchmarking for commercial buildings are a novel form of policy emerging across cities in the United States. These benchmarking policies require the owners of covered buildings to report on ... -
Triangular Bézier Surfaces with Approximate Continuity
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-15)When interpolating a data mesh using triangular Bézier patches, the requirement of C¹ or G¹ continuity imposes strict constraints on the control points of adjacent patches. However, fulfillment of these continuity ... -
Trifecta: Faster High-throughput Three-party Computation over WAN using Multi-fan-in Logic Gates
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-29)Multi-party computation (MPC) has been a very active area of research and recent industrial deployments exist. Practical MPC is currently limited to low-latency, high- throughput network setups, i.e., local-area networks ... -
A Trip Planning-Assisted Energy Management System for Connected PHEVs: Evaluation and Enhancement
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-18)The built-in Energy Management System (EMS) of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) plays an important role in the fuel efficiency of these vehicles. Recently, it has been revealed that prior knowledge of the upcoming ... -
Triple Pool Net: A novel robust Convolution neural network for image/content classification
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-14)With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it is highly desired to find a more efficient neural network architecture for real-life applications. In this paper we propose a novel convolution neural network ... -
Trisections of non-orientable 4-manifolds
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Broadly, this thesis is concerned with trying to understand 4-manifolds through 3-dimensional techniques. From the point of view of smooth manifolds, dimension four is quite unique; one striking illustration of this is the ... -
Triton: outpost in the ocean
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The ocean, especially the deep ocean, dominates this world; it is the largest single habitat on the planet, a habitat whose inhabitants constitute the most common forms of life on this planet. By its immense influence ... -
