engineering has remained very traditional. The advances made in the fields of representation and visualisation, and in particular the progress made in virtual reality, lead us to wonder what added value this technology can bring to the world of constructio ...
The presented research project was carried out through a series of international summer workshops with the vocation of being, at the same time, atelier, construction site, training instrument, and inhabited space. It thus at once presents: an alternative e ...
Although indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and human health have been on the agenda of the green building industry, a new emphasis is being placed on building features that explicitly promote the experience of occupants. However, evidence of the performan ...
In the construction sector, the integration of active elements functioning both as building envelope material and on-site electricity generator is identified as a key measure to achieve the 2050 targets and carbon neutrality (Aguacil Moreno, 2019; Aguacil ...
We performed a post-occupancy assessment based on 500 occupant surveys in eight buildings using embedded radiant heating and cooling systems. This study follows-up on a quantitative assessment of 60 office buildings that found radiant and all-air buildings ...
Process data, figures, and figure data resulting from the study on Multiscale Spatiotemporal Characterization of Embodied Environmental Efficiency of Building Structures in Geneva from 1850 to 2018. ...
Reducing energy demand on buildings’ heating and cooling systems is fundamental to reaching a carbon-neutral future. Writing in iScience, Xu and Raman show that by controlling radiative heat flows in buildings with novel materials, we can expand the set of ...
Latest European Union programs related to energy efficiency underline the need for retrofitting existing buildings, which are responsible for 40% of EU total energy consumption. Accounting for almost 45% of the existing building stock, the architecture of ...
Full-scale testing of a two-storey flat slab structure is reported, undertaken in the SlabSTRESS research project; the construction and testing were planned and carried out at the ELSA laboratory of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. The dime ...
Air pollutant exposure in workplace environments has been associated with health and cognitive outcomes of workers. While green building certification programs have been instrumental in promoting indoor air quality (IAQ), the present literature indicates i ...
