In recent years, climate change and the corresponding expected extreme weather conditions have been widely recognized as potential problems. The building industry is taking various actions to achieve sustainable development, implement energy conservation s ...
As humans spend most of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts their health. In parallel, building ventilation consumes significant energy, contributing to climate change. However, the relationships between the building ventilat ...
Building energy codes have been implemented in Switzerland as well as across the world to reduce building energy consumption, however, due to the progressive effect of climate change phenomena and the precipitate change in occupancy patterns due to the glo ...
The contemporary energy context can be considered as a period of energy transition, where the latest protocols focus on limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving energy efficiency across the different energy consumption sectors. As the largest ...
Building energy consumption comprises a highly complex set of dynamics that critically depend on the behavior of building occupants. A key area of ongoing research is the simulation of energy consumption for evaluation of occupant-centric building design o ...
In light of increasing sustainability requirements, one of the challenges related to the heritage building stock consists in finding a balance between preserving the existing architectural character and improving energy efficiency. The project presented in ...
People spend around 90 percent of their time indoors (home, oce, transportation) in developed countries [1]. This means a long exposure to indoor conditions that have higher concentrations of pollutants compared to outdoors. This exposure can aect the well ...
One of the top priorities of European countries is to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the built environment. To reach this goal, urban renewal processes are seen as a core strategy towards a sustainable built fabric, given t ...
Because of the global warming, urban planning strategies must be investigated to reduce the building energy consumption and increase the thermal comfort in cities. In the framework of Energy Strategy 2050 of Switzerland, this research aim to highlight the ...
The project goal was to assess the viability of photovoltaic (PV) installations in two different existing buildings, both located in the city of Neuchâtel. The two studies buildings were built in 1938 and 1968. Before testing any PV installation, a renovat ...
