Dataset concerning the hourly conversion factors for the cumulative energy demand and its non-renewable part, and hourly GHG emission factors of the Swiss mix during a one-year period (2016 and 2017)

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

The provided data are the hourly CO2-eq emission factors, and the hourly conversion factors for the cumulative energy demand and its non-renewable part for the Swiss electricity mix over one year (2016 and 2017). These data have been assessed on the base o ...

Assessing the gap between a normative and a reality-based model of building LCA

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Stefano Cozza

Recognized as a powerful methodology for the evaluation of environmental burdens, life cycle assessment (LCA) must be performed with close-to-reality inputs to be robust and accurate. However, the necessary real-world data is hardly available at the design ...

Temporal variations in the primary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of electricity provided by the Swiss grid

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

It is a frequent practice nowadays to use mean annual conversion factors (CFs) when performing life-cycle assessment (LCA) of processes and products that use electricity supplied by the grid. In this paper, we conduct an hourly assessment of the greenhouse ...

Integrating hourly life-cycle energy and carbon emissions of energy supply in buildings

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza, Philippe Couty

Huge amount of energy resources greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is devoted to the built environment. Therefore, an accurate assessment method of these indicators is compulsory. To take advantage of the temporal variation in the primary energy use and associ ...

Le courant consommé la nuit est chargé en CO2 de charbon allemand

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz

Les importations de courant allemand plombent l'empreinte carbone du mix de consommation en Suisse, selon une étude du smart living lab. La charge en CO2 peut atteindre 400 grammes par kilowattheure la nuit ou à certaines heures de l'après-midi. Si la prod ...
