How the Labour Self-Build: Marshall Plan and Workers’ Housing Cooperatives in Turkey
This presentation aims to discuss the transnational activity and discourse behind the programmatic shift in spatial production and layout of workers’ housing in Turkey from the state-financed model of the interwar period to the assisted self-help model by ...
2021Quantification of the suitable rooftop area for solar panel installation from overhead imagery using Convolutional Neural Networks
Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch, Shasha Jiang, Riccardo Cadei
The integration of solar technology in the built environment is realized mainly through rooftop-installed panels. In this paper, we leverage state-of-the-art Machine Learning and computer vision techniques applied on overhead images to provide a geo-locali ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Validation of Spectral Simulation Tools for the Prediction of Indoor Daylight Exposure
Marilyne Andersen, Clotilde Marie A Pierson
A growing area of research focuses on the relationship between ocular light exposure and the non-visual responses. In order to accelerate research on this topic and improve building design, reliable spectral simulation tools are needed. This study aims at ...
2021The SONATA data format for efficient description of large-scale network models
Eilif Benjamin Muller, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Jean-Denis Georges Emile Courcol, Michael Emiel Gevaert, Adrien Michel Achille Devresse, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites
Increasing availability of comprehensive experimental datasets and of high-performance computing resources are driving rapid growth in scale, complexity, and biological realism of computational models in neuroscience. To support construction and simulation ...
PLOS2020Integration of geological data into the BIM process in infrastructure projects
BIM is a process whose workflow differs significantly from conventional methods. An essential aspect of BIM is the creation of 3D models to which a wide range of information is assigned. This information model is placed at the center of a project as the si ...
2020Hydraulic design of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic
New design information regarding the hydraulic behaviour of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes is presented and discussed. An extensive experimental campaign revealed that classical stilling basins preceded by stepped chutes cannot be a ...
2020Data for Urban Scale Building Energy Modelling: Assessing Impacts and Overcoming Availability Challenges
Data are essential to urban building energy models and yet, obtaining sufficient and accurate building data at a large-scale is challenging. Previous studies have highlighted that the data impact on urban case studies has not been sufficiently discussed. T ...
2020Surveying the environmental life-cycle performance assessments: Practice and context at early building design stages
Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
The international greenhouse gas agreements call for mitigations in the building industry. Thus, the number of scientific publications about life-cycle performance assessment (LCPA) follows an exponential trend since the 2000s. However, previous surveys hi ...
2020Simulation-aided occupant-centric building design: A critical review of tools, methods, and applications
Occupants are active participants in their built environment, affecting its performance while simultaneously being affected by its design and indoor environmental conditions. With recent advances in computer modeling, simulation tools, and analysis techniq ...
2020The Advent of the 4D Mirror World
Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo
The 4D Mirror World is considered to be the next planetary-scale information platform. This commentary gives an overview of the history of the converging trends that have progressively shaped this concept. It retraces how large-scale photographic surveys s ...
