Urban Form Optimization for the Energy Performance of Buildings Using Citysim

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

The energy efficiency of the urban texture relies notably on the buildings’ form, which characterizes its capability to take profit of the solar potential as well as its loss of energy through the envelope. Therefore, the general layout at the district sca ...

Simulation of Urban Energy Flow: A Graph Theory Inspired Approach

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Diane Perez

Following the increased consciousness regarding global warming and other environmental issues, there is a growing urge in cities for a more rational energy supply and use in buildings. In parallel, the range of possible actions has broaden, from building r ...

Sustainable energy systems, a process system engineering perspective

François Maréchal

According to the International Energy Agency, CO2 emissions have to be cut by a factor 2 if one wants to mitigate the effect on the climate change to an acceptable limit. To reach this target, efficient use and conversion of energy resources is expected to ...

A codimension two stable manifold of near soliton equivariant wave maps

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider finite-energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from ℝ2+1 to S2 which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension-two class of initial data which is small with respect to a stronger topo ...

Global dynamics away from the ground state for the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation

Joachim Krieger

We study global behavior of radial solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with the focusing energy critical nonlinearity in three and five space dimensions. Assuming that the solution has energy at most slightly more than the ground states and gets away ...

Analysis Of An Energy-Based Atomistic/Continuum Approximation Of A Vacancy In The 2D Triangular Lattice

We present an a priori error analysis of a practical energy based atomistic/continuum coupling method (A. V. Shapeev, Multiscale Model. Simul., 9(3): 905-932, 2011) in two dimensions, for finite-range pair-potential interactions, in the presence of vacancy ...

Management of urban energy systems

Mélanie Guittet

In industrialized countries, more than two-thirds of the energy is consumed in urban areas. Hence, energy sobriety calls for special attention to urban planning, especially regarding energy aspects. ...

Modeling the Impacts of Climate Change on the Energy Sector: a Swiss perspective

Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth

When speaking of energy production and consumption in the context of climate change, the interest usually lies in mitigation policies and measures, i.e. the energy system is seen as an emitter of greenhouse gases. This paper takes a different approach and ...

Process design methods for sustainable energy systems

François Maréchal

Today, energy is the driver of the modern society, allowing for transforming raw materials and resources into ``useful'' products and services. Concerns on climate change and resources scarcity together with the increasing importance put on the environment ...

Contactless energy transfer with Induction for a miniature Car

Contactless energy transfer is very promising in terms of property and handling. In clean rooms contactless energy transfer allows to build moving robots without any bending cable that emits particles with every movement. We want to test one possibility to ...
