The goal of the project DELTA was to develop an optimal blind controller for a room or a building, taking into account the following factors: - optimisation of thermal comfort - optimisation of daylighting - minimisation of energy consumption - priority gi ...
The consumption of resources within an urban neighbourhood depends on the behaviour of its occupants. To understand the randomness of this behaviour and its effect on the demand of resources calls for the development of a set of stochastic models which are ...
Le programme BATMAN est un programme d'enseignement assisté par ordinateur (EAO), destiné à transmettre aux étudiants architectes les connaissances de base nécessaires pour l'optimisaiton énergétique de différentes formes urbaines et des bâtiments qui les ...
This work takes benefit from two advanced building technologies through the integration of an anidolic daylighting system and an electro-chromic glazing in a building facade for achieving an optimal control of the daylight flux entering in an office room. ...
This paper describes the development and application of a new unique tool to support designers to optimise the sustainability of urban neighbourhoods (SUNtool). In this the paper introduces (i) the software architecture, (ii) the integrated solver and rela ...
The paper describes a predictive and adaptive heating controller, using artificial neural networks to allow the adaptation of the control model to the real conditions (climate, building characteristics, user's behaviour). The controller algorithm has been ...
This paper describes how data collected during a continuously running data acquisition program on the LESO building in Lausanne, Switzerland, was used to measure the intermediate light switch probability by users as a function of current illuminance levels ...
