Efficient daylighting and solar control strategies can have a tremendous impact on energy use. But any savings can only be effective if one also carefully accounts for our comfort, well-being and health criteria. This talk will explore current research eff ...
Travelling experiences along the cradle of European culture were, especially for Scandinavian architects, an outright voyage towards a contrasting cultural and geographical reality. However, assuming an unconditional fascination as natural reaction is redu ...
The notion of physiological comfort – meaning responses to temperature and humidity but also to lighting and acoustics – has been a driving force in architectural production throughout the twentieth century. Whether concealed, embedded, exposed, or ‘featur ...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Brain Informatics and Health, BIH 2015, held in London, UK, in August/September 2015. The 42 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. Following ...
As part of more stringent energy targets in Switzerland, we witness the appearance of new green-certified dwellings while many existing dwellings have undergone energy efficiency measures. These measures have led to reduced energy consumption, but rarely c ...
Bettering human health care and creating a sustainable environment through monitoring and smart energy usage are primary goals of advanced societies. To this purpose, the Swiss Government, through the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovati ...
The spatial dependence of located health and/or genetic data can be used to detect clusters likely to reveal disease prevalence or signatures of adaptation associated with characteristics of the local environment (high temperatures, air or water pollution) ...
«Beyond the city there was a wide plain, which sloped gently towards the sea and it was dominated by a semicircle of mountains. The soil of such plain was shimmering red, the sea looked blue enamel, the mountain slopes were brilliant yellow. It was a count ...
Relatively recent cultural and technological changes, particularly in Westernized societies, have led to habitat and lifestyle shifts that have gradually estranged us from daylight. Although human beings are resilient and appear able to cope with extreme v ...
This paper will present an annual simulation-based workflow for assessing human perceptual and non-visual responses to daylight across a series of view positions in an architectural case study. Through the integration of mathematical models used to predict ...
