Swiss Energy System 2050: Pathways to Net Zero CO2 and Security of Supply - Basic report

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Oliver Kröcher, Andrea Baranzini

This report aims at assessing pathways and formulating recommendations for the transformation of the Swiss energy system necessary to achieve the net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission target by 2050 (BFE 2017a) set by the Federal Council taking into accou ...

A complete description of thermodynamic stabilities of molecular crystals

Venkat Kapil, Edgar Albert Engel

Predictions of relative stabilities of (competing) molecular crystals are of great technological relevance, most notably for the pharmaceutical industry. However, they present a long-standing challenge for modeling, as often minuscule free energy differenc ...

Innovative Renewable Technology Integration for Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings within the Re-COGNITION Project

Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani

With the 2010/31/EU directive, all new buildings shall be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) from 2020 onward, with the aim of strongly reducing the energy consumption related to the building sector. To achieve this goal, it is not sufficient to focus on ...

Stability of inks used for masking metallic interconnects in BIPV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Alejandro Borja Block

The necessity to reduce carbon emissions has pushed European institutions to foster the adoption - for new buildings - of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, which need to minimize energy consumption with energy generated on site. This opens up an enormous poten ...

Data-driven simulation of room-level building energy consumption

Andrew James Sonta, Yanchen Liu

Building energy consumption comprises a highly complex set of dynamics that critically depend on the behavior of building occupants. A key area of ongoing research is the simulation of energy consumption for evaluation of occupant-centric building design o ...

Design of adaptive structures through energy minimization: extension to tensegrity

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper gives a new formulation to design adaptive structures through total energy optimization (TEO). This methodology enables the design of truss as well as tensegrity configurations that are equipped with linear actuators to counteract the effect of ...

Effectiveness of passive climate change adaptation measures in Switzerland: A climate-based analysis on natural ventilation and overheating risks reduction in dwellings

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Daniel Zepeda Rivas

Building energy codes have been implemented in Switzerland as well as across the world to reduce building energy consumption, however, due to the progressive effect of climate change phenomena and the precipitate change in occupancy patterns due to the glo ...
