Innovations Practitioners Need for Circularity in the Swiss Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Sector
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf
Although widely recognized as imperative for reducing global emissions and the amount of waste generated by the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, a large-scale shift from a linear to a circular economy has not yet happened in practi ...
2023Endogenous Energy Efficiency Improvement in Housing and Cement Sectors in Switzerland
The reduction of energy consumption in the residential building stock and cement industry is a substantial component of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050. Therefore, it is vital to identify the potential for EEI in these two sectors. In this study, a new meth ...
EPFL2023Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems
Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti
We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...
IEEE2022Optimal Combination Policies For Adaptive Social Learning
Ping Hu, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon
This paper investigates the effect of combination policies on the performance of adaptive social learning in non-stationary environments. By analyzing the relation between the error probability and the underlying graph topology, we prove that in the slow a ...
IEEE2022Linear Speedup In Saddle-Point Escape For Decentralized Non-Convex Optimization
Under appropriate cooperation protocols and parameter choices, fully decentralized solutions for stochastic optimization have been shown to match the performance of centralized solutions and result in linear speedup (in the number of agents) relative to no ...
IEEE2020Corporate policies with permanent and transitory shocks
We model the financing, cash holdings, and hedging policies of a firm facing financing frictions and subject to permanent and transitory cash flow shocks. The permanent and transitory shocks generate distinct, sometimes opposite, effects on corporate polic ...
2017Policy packaging in support of absolute decoupling – a conceptual model
Global resource consumption has seen marked increases in the last century, in particular since the 1950s. In transforming these materials into products, food, infrastructure and energy functions for mobility and housing, significant environmental impacts a ...
A World Resources Forum Production, PSI2017Exact Diffusion for Distributed Optimization and Learning---Part II: Convergence Analysis
Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan
Part I of this work developed the exact diffusion algorithm to remove the bias that is characteristic of distributed solutions for deterministic optimization problems. The algorithm was shown to be applicable to a larger set of combination policies than ea ...
2017Policy mixes for resource efficiency – theoretical and practical challenges
Based on an on-going research project called “Policy options for a resource efficient Europe” (POLFREE), this paper analyses potential policy instruments and their interdependencies in a policy mix for resource efficiency. It focuses on fundamental trade-o ...
A World Resources Forum Production, PSI2017Exploring the potential of e-mobility to improve resource efficiency through scenario-based life cycle analysis
The transport sector is the second largest emitter of GHG emissions in the EU and about two thirds of the emissions are generated from road transport. More importantly, while emissions from other sectors have shown a consistent decreasing trend, GHG emissi ...
