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 ...
Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences 2022Optimized office lighting advances melatonin phase and peripheral heat loss prior bedtime
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova
Improving indoor lighting conditions at the workplace has the potential to support proper circadian entrainment of hormonal rhythms, sleep, and well-being. We tested the effects of optimized dynamic daylight and electric lighting on circadian phase of mela ...
2022Preliminary evidence that daily light exposure enhances the antibody response to influenza vaccination in patients with dementia
Enhancing lighting conditions in institutions for individuals with dementia improves their sleep, circadian rhythms and well-being. Here, we report first findings that exposure to brighter light during daytime may support the immune response to the annual ...
ELSEVIER2022Quantification 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 LTD2021Dimensionality reduction and clustering of time series for anomaly detection in a supermarket heating system
Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Lorenzo Salmina
A timely identification of an anomalous functioning of the energy system of an industrial building would increase the efficiency and the resilience of the energy infrastructure, beside reducing the economic wastage. This work has been inspired by the need ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Quantifying the impacts of urban morphology on modifying microclimate conditions in extreme weather conditions
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik
It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particu ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Using Machine Learning to estimate the technical potential of shallow ground-source heat pumps with thermal interference
Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch
The increasing use of ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) for heating and cooling of buildings raises questions regarding the technical potential of GSHPs and their impact on the temperature in the shallow subsurface. In this paper, we develop a method using ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Quantification of existing rooftop PV hourly generation capacity and validation against measurement data
Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch
The spatio-temporal patterns of the existing rooftop photovoltaic (PV) production can provide valuable insights for the design of effective strategies for PV integration at large scale. In this work, we quantify the hourly production of existing rooftop PV ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Spatio-Temporal Relationship between Land Cover and Land Surface Temperature in Urban Areas: A Case Study in Geneva and Paris
Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Xu Ge
Currently, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, which leads to major changes in land use and land surface temperature (LST). The associated urban heat island (UHI) effects have multiple impacts on energy consumption and human health. A ...
2020Introducing reinforcement learning to the energy system design process
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik
Design optimization of distributed energy systems has become an interest of a wider group of researchers due the capability of these systems to integrate non-dispatchable renewable energy technologies such as solar PV and wind. White box models, using line ...
