This report gives an overview of Swiss climate policy and existing simulations of decarbonisation strategies. Report on results from Task A and B in the DDPP related mandate from FOEN. ...
This Recommended Practice conveniently gathers the basic data and techniques which help those concerned with the design of buildings and lighting systems understand and appreciate the opportunities and constraints inherent in daylighting. Daylighted buildi ...
An advanced optical ray tracing software was developed for the extensive study of Complex Fenestration Systems. Using an algorithm mixing two and three-dimensional approaches, very fast and accurate computation of large number of rays in complex geometries ...
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 ...
The appropriate choice of glazing in a facade depends on many factors. They include amongst other criteria: location, orientation, climatic condition, energetic efficiency, usage of the building, required user comfort, and the architectural concept. On the ...
Scientists in many disciplines have progressively been using simulations to better understand the natural systems they study. Faster hardware, as well as
increasingly precise instruments, allow the construction and simulation of progressively advanced mod ...
The design of a solar protection system that can minimize solar gains while maximizing daylight and view to the outside is particularly challenging in arid climates, such as in the Middle-East, where sand, wind and corrosion impose specific constraints. We ...
In our research we use the technology of electrochromic (EC) glazing to maximize the use of daylight and minimize the energy consumption in buildings while preserving visual and thermal comfort of the users. We propose an advanced automatic control of EC w ...

The inclusion of daylight in buildings represents several benefits: its use not only signifies a reduction in the building energy consumption through the compensation of electric lighting, it also has positive effects in the execution of human activities. ...
A new Radiance-based modelling approach called Fener is presented. The motivation is to be able to perform detailed analyses of complex fenestration systems (CFS) from the energetic and daylighting points of view in a computationally efficient manner, so t ...
