Solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth for a period of one hour contains more energy than that consumed by mankind over an entire year. Some of this solar energy is already collected by photovoltaic cells to cover the electricity needs of buildi ...
In this paper, the degradation mechanisms of the ceramic and the metal in Titanium/Zirconia pairs for biomedical applications were analyzed. To do that, an experimental set-up with well-controlled mechanical and chemical conditions was used based on a unid ...

Free cooling strategies are gaining importance in design practice due to the increased risk of overheating in well-insulated buildings with high internal loads such as offices. The state of the art highlights that the most efficient passive solution for in ...
Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...
Most European cities are facing urban densification issues. In this context, a solution to create usable spaces without additional pressure on land consists in the vertical extension of existing buildings. Given their abundance in the building stock, terti ...
Urban densification issues are one of the key challenges for most European cities. In this context, the vertical extension of existing buildings provides a solution to create usable spaces without wasting additional land. Little attention has been given to ...
The objective of the project is to evaluate the possible improvements of the design of the Solar Decathlon pavilion. In particular, this project aims at determining the effectiveness of passive systems (e.g. insulation, thermal mass, shading devices) in pr ...
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 ...
