This paper proposes and validates a daylighting design sequence for sidelit spaces. Since the design sequence uses the daylight factor as a performance metric, it is aimed towards spaces that primarily receive diffuse daylight. It should be complemented by ...
This paper describes the preliminary findings of a post-occupancy evaluation campaign conducted on contemporary and energy-efficient office buildings with different façades treatments. The aim is to investigate occupants’ comfort and perceived productivity ...
The dissertation “Archaeological area of Classe: memory and identity of a buried place” introduces a strategic and global masterplan to set a new dialogue between the ancient traces of the Ravenna’s harbour and the system of fascinating Early Christian bas ...
In this paper, a numerical model for the pushover analysis of in-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented. For the analysis of the walls, which consist of vertical piers connected by horizontal masonry spandrels, an equivalent frame model is ad ...
We present a new type of microinstrument allowing manipulation and mechanical perturbation of individual cells under an optical microscope. These instruments, which we call microplates, are pulled from rectangular glass bars. They have flat tips, typically ...
Airflow rates, hence energy consumption, are directly affected by the amount of open area and consequently by the inhabitant behavior with respect to window opening. This report describes stochastic models using Markov chains, and used to generate time ser ...
The impact of daylighting strategies on a building’s carbon emissions have so far been assessed mostly based on the building’s use phase and their resulting operational benefits, overlooking embodied carbon emissions of material production, construction, m ...
