Questioning obsolescence: When does a dwelling reach the end of its life?

Ankita Singhvi

Buildings are demolished when they are considered obsolete, in other words, when they have reached the end of their lifespan. Demolition leads to waste; in Europe, construction and demolition waste accounts for approximately 25-30% of the total waste gener ...

Generic Occupancy Sensor

Sélim Cédric Kamal

The goal of this project was to work on room occupancy and to provide solutions and ideas on how to detect if a room is occupied or not using generic and non expensive sensors. This is motivated by the fact that buildings account for 50% of the total energ ...

Finite-size corrections of defect energy levels involving ionic polarization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Julia Anna Wiktor

We develop a scheme for finite-size corrections of vertical transition energies and single-particle energy levels involving defect states with built-in ionic polarization in supercell calculations. The method accounts on an equal footing for the screening ...

Data assimilation of in situ and satellite remote sensing data to 3D hydrodynamic lake models: a case study using Delft3D-FLOW v4.03 and OpenDA v2.4

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

The understanding of physical dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information on lake ecosystem management. We show how the combination of in situ observations, remote sensing data, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic (3D) numerical simul ...

Understanding the performance gap: a machine learning approach on residential buildings in Turin, Italy

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Roberto Boghetti

Buildings account for the highest share of primary energy usage and greenhouse gas emission in the E.U. and U.S. [1], and most of this energy is used for space and water heating. Being able to gain a broader understanding of the gap between predicted and i ...
