In the last years we have been witness of the innovation of the building sector that it is trying to improve buildings behaviour in order to save energy and optimize the use of renewable sources. It is a necessary step considering that buildings consume mo ...
Energy efficiency is one of the more economically sounds way to sustainability. Real Estate accounts for 30% of energy consumption in most developed countries. It also accounts for more than 30% of GHG emission. In the last several years many research have ...
The scope of this research includes the development of composite concrete façade elements that are thin, loadbearing and of high thermal performance. The research applies to manufactured precast concrete elements and focuses on improving their structure in ...
The Swiss Minergie®-standard is, by the number of labelled buildings (> 20'000) one of the most successful building energy labels in the world. It is obviously a strong incentive for designing comfortable, low energy buildings. This standard is now valid f ...
In the past decades the portion of the population living in urban areas has continuously increased. Due to the high building density, the microclimate in urban areas changed significantly compared to rural areas. The temperatures measured in urban areas ar ...
