Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs
Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal
At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...
2023Title: "Labels Matter: Is it stress or is it Trauma?"
In neuroscience, the term 'Stress' has a negative connotation because of its potential to trigger or exacerbate psychopathologies. Yet in the face of exposure to stress, the more common reaction to stress is resilience, indicating that resilience is the ru ...
SPRINGERNATURE2021Impact of facade details on the reliability of performance-based decisions for early-stage neighborhood designs
Neighborhood-scale projects often commence with the conceptualization of several massing-schemes as potential design solutions. There is growing interest in using building performance simulation (BPS) to evaluate and rank such conceptual stage schemes in o ...
EPFL2020From research to sustainability transitions - Identifying pathways to societal effects
Problem statement. The rise of sustainability as a guiding norm for societal development also affects knowledge production in science. Particularly in the context of sustainability science, researchers are increasingly confronted with claims for creating s ...
EPFL2019Influence de la ripisylve sur le débit des cours d'eau. Étude isotopique et bilan hydrologique sur le Boiron de Morges.
La reforestation ou l’afforestation (plantation d’arbres sur des zones précédemment non boisées) est une pratique couramment utilisée aujourd’hui. Que cela soit à des fins de production, ou de conservation et de restauration, le nombre d’arbres plantés est ...
2017A discussion on the paper "Role of porosity on the stiffness and stability of (001) surface of the nanogranular C-S-H gel"
Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed
This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...
Elsevier2017Historical Map of Albanian Villages: a Tool for Harmonizing Census Data throughout the 20th Century
Martin Schuler, Alain Nicolas Jarne
The present article deals with conceptual and methodological questions at the base of a research project of settlement history of Albania in the 20th century. We focus our interest on the identification of all local units and their population. In order to ...
2017La rentabilité des immeubles "verts"
Les immeubles verts ont un faible impact environnemental tout en offrant aussi de bonnes conditions sociales, voire des gains environnementaux (qualité de l'air, biodiversité). Ils sont donc exemplaires dans divers domaines: énergie, utilisation du sol, bi ...
