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 ...
Commercial buildings account for much of the energy use both in the United States and globally. The role of occupant behavior within the physical building has been found to be an important factor in the overall energy use profile of commercial buildings. R ...
Simultaneous consideration of active devices – especially mechanical heating and ventilation – and passive devices – including insulation and waterproofing of building envelopes – was one of the most notable aspects of studies of the management of physiolo ...
Expectations for high performance green buildings have been evolving over the last four decades. Green certification systems define, recognize, and demonstrate leadership in addressing building problems related to people and the environment. These systems ...
The data to reproduce results from the paper " Multi-scale modelling to evaluate building energy consumption at the neighbourhood scale " with DOI : 10.1371/journal.pone.0183437 can be found in this repository. We provide the useful data to rerun the CityS ...
Buildings are our homes and our workplaces. They directly affect our well-being, and they impact the natural global environment primarily through the energy they consume. Understanding the behavior of occupants in buildings has vital implications for impro ...
As the majority of buildings that will exist in 2050 are already built, with many of them having a low level of energy performance, urban renewal processes play an essential role towards the sustainable development of cities. In this context, BIPV systems ...
A measurement campaign was set up in Lausanne. The objective of this study is to define the importance of using local meteorological variables in the design of urban spaces and in the evaluation of building energy use. Urban simulation tools typically use ...
A new methodology is proposed to couple a meteorological model with a building energy use model. The aim of such a coupling is to improve the boundary conditions of both models with no significant increase in computational time. In the present case, the Ca ...
Recent years has seen profound changes in building technologies both in Europe and worldwide. With the emergence of Smart Grid and Smart City concepts, the Smart Building has attracted considerable attention and rapid development. The introduction of novel ...
