This poster exposes the outline of the PhD research project of the main author (E. Nault), which focusses on improving the solar potential of neighborhoods at the early design phase and through an interactive design support methodology. ...
This paper presents the outcome of a study based on the early-stage analysis of six virtual urban-scale designs located in Bern, Switzerland. A preliminary solar potential evaluation methodology is devised, inspired by previous studies, to allow the compar ...
Dans le contexte énergétique actuel et vu la proportion majoritaire de consommation d’énergie associée à l’environnement bâti, il devient essentiel de se diriger vers une architecture à haute performance énergétique. Pour ce faire, une approche bioclimatiq ...

In the early phases of the building design process, decisions are made on certain geometrical parameters, which strongly dictate the future performance of the building. To support decision- making, an understanding of the relation between design parameters ...
Despite the numerous existing design tools developed to support practitioners achieve energy performing buildings, practical use of those tools remains limited, in particular due to their restricted integration into the design process. This project is moti ...
The axis "Integrated Design Architecture and Sustainability" (IDEAS) is a joint initiative of both the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Performance-Integrated Design (LIPID) and Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) of the School of ...
