CONTINUING TO CONTRIBUTE BEYOND MILESTONES

Congratulations to Wiliyan on this publication. What makes this even more meaningful is that even after completing his MPhil viva, he continues to publish and contribute to the academic world. A good reminder that research does not stop at milestones.

This paper, titled “Semantic Enrichment of 3D City Models for Sustainable Cooling Analysis,”focuses on integrating building physics and thermal parameters into 3D city models. By enriching CityJSON-based models with attributes such as window-to-wall ratio, solar absorptivity, thermal transmittance and local climate data, the study enables more accurate estimation and visualisation of cooling demand in urban environments.

The work highlights how semantically enriched 3D models can support better energy analysis, planning and decision-making, especially in tropical cities where cooling demand is a critical issue.

The paper was presented at an IEEE conference and is indexed in Web of Science, marking another strong contribution from the team.

Well done, Wiliyan. Keep going.
