Urban sustainability is today commonly considered to be a crucial determinant of global sustainable development, and indicator-based assessments represent a popular means of operationalizing this complex concept. An important aspect of these assessments co ...
The construction industry is jeopardizing Earth’s environment; current mitigation efforts do not suffice; and additional sustainable strategies are required. One such strategy consists of reusing structural building elements over multiple service lives. In ...
Life cycle interpretation is the fourth and last phase of life cycle assessment (LCA). Being a "pivot" phase linking all other phases and the conclusions and recommendations from an LCA study, it represents a challenging task for practitioners, who miss ha ...
This thesis develops optimization-based techniques for the control of distributed energy resources to provide multiple services to the power network. It is divided into three parts.The first part of this thesis focuses on the development of a framework f ...
The food industry belongs to the most significant economic sectors worldwide. Regarding resource use, human nutrition is responsible for about 30 % of global resource consumption. In order to decrease resource consumption to a level in line with planetary ...
In this thesis, we present a novel generic and unifying framework for data-adaptive shape modeling. Our work is motivated by the raising need for powerful geometric modeling kernels that are required for shape characterization in biomedical imaging. The on ...
This paper studies natural organisms and plants along with their features that can be utilized to formulate better design-strategies for climate responsive buildings. The conventional buildings are often far away from the concept of sustainability. Bio-mim ...

This Master Project designed and implemented a framework facilitating the design of OSRA-compliant BIP systems. Given a set of application components developed in BIP, the framework automates the generation of a BIP system handling safe interactions betwee ...
Although different vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) use different vehicle types, the management challenges and optimization problems to be solved are similar or even the same. This observation led us to create a generalized and holistic VSS management framew ...
We propose a new modelling approach for daily activity scheduling which integrates the different daily scheduling choice dimensions (activity participation, location, schedule, duration and transportation mode) into a single optimisation problem. The funda ...
