Predictive models for assessing the passive solar and daylight potential of neighborhood designs: A comparative proof-of-concept study

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault

Despite recent developments, neighborhood-scale performance assessment at the early-design phase is seldom carried out in practice, notably due to high computational complexity, time requirement, and perceived need for expert knowledge, ultimately limiting ...

Solar potential in early neighborhood design

Émilie Nault

In light of the acknowledged need for a transition toward sustainable cities, neighborhoods and buildings, urban planners, architects and engineers have to comply with evermore demanding energy regulations. These decision-makers must be supported early-on ...

Urban planning and solar potential: Assessing users' interaction with a novel decision-support workflow for early-stage design

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Émilie Nault

The need for sustainable architecture and urban design and planning has long been acknowledged, along with the necessity for adequate, early-phase guiding instruments. This paper aims at exploring the effectiveness and usability of a novel decision-support ...

A parametric design-based methodology to visualize building performance at the neighborhood scale

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Giuseppe Peronato

This paper focuses on parametric design-based visualization methods to represent building performance at the neighborhood scale in the perspective of an integrated design-support system. The goal of the developed methodology is to convey the relative effe ...

Comparative performance assessment of parametrically generated variants of a masterplan: Case studies in Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Giuseppe Peronato

We describe a methodology to parametrically generate several neighborhood design variants based on a master plan and comparatively evaluate their performance in terms of passive and active solar potential. Two case studies in Yverdon-les-Bains and Lausanne ...

Potentiel solaire et forme urbaine

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Giuseppe Peronato

Le potentiel énergétique d’un bâtiment est fortement conditionné par sa forme et son niveau d’exposition au rayonnement solaire, qui influencent entre autres les besoins en chauffage, refroidissement et éclairage artificiel, ainsi que le potentiel de produ ...
