This paper deals with stochastic model predictive control of constrained discrete-time periodic linear systems. Control inputs are subject to periodically time-varying polytopic constraints with possibly time-dependent state and input dimensions. A stochas ...
In a time when governments are pursuing increasingly ambitious energy efficiency goals, building energy simulation at the urban scale, combined with the high availability of physical data, can help in performing this task. The purpose of this study is to d ...
The objective of this research is to study the potential energy savings due to changes in thermal and visual set-points, by means of computer simulations and sensitivity analyses. The first part of the project consists in the creation of a computer model o ...
Net energy import of Switzerland corresponds to about 13 BCHF (petroleum, uranium, etc.) each year. According to the energy perspective 2035 defined by Swiss Federal Office Energy, the energy import should be reduced to 7.3 BCHF. Meeting the goals defined ...
This paper describes the City Energy Analyst (CEA), a computational framework for the analysis and optimization of energy systems in neighborhoods and city districts. The framework allows analyzing the energy, carbon and financial benefits of multiple urba ...
In this paper we consider the problem of navigating emergency rescuers in buildings. The objective of the rescuer is to reach several critical regions in a building endangered by a spreading hazard and leave safely. We consider stochastic finite state mode ...
Currently, energy efficiency in buildings is a primary objective of energy policy at regional, national and international levels. On a local scale, this trend has been detected also in Switzerland, where almost 40% of energy consumption has been assumed to ...
Equipped with a third hand under their direct control, surgeons may be able to perform certain surgical interventions alone; this would reduce the need for a human assistant and related coordination difficulties. However, does human performance improve wit ...
Previous studies have shown that the choice of the behavioural model for the control of lighting and shading devices has important implications in the energy performance assessment of office buildings and directly influences the comparison of design altern ...
This report provides a selection of relevant energy, environmental and economic key performance indicators to support scenario analysis and decision-making process of the IntegrCity platform. The selected indicators have been identified from standards, nor ...
