Although HDR content processing, coding and quality assessment have been largely addressed in the last few years, little to no work has been concentrating on how to assess quality in HDR for 360 or omnidirectional content. This paper is an attempt to answe ...

3D Model for Solar Energy Potential on Buildings from Urban LiDAR Data

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Andreas Bill

One of the most promising sustainable energy that can be considered in urban environment is solar energy. A 3D model for solar energy potential on building envelope based on urban LiDAR data was developed in this study. The developed algorithm can be used ...

Solar potential in early neighborhood design

Émilie Nault

In light of the acknowledged need for a transition toward sustainable cities, neighborhoods and buildings, urban planners, architects and engineers have to comply with evermore demanding energy regulations. These decision-makers must be supported early-on ...

A composable method for real-time control of active distribution networks with explicit power set points. Part II: Implementation and validation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andrey Bernstein

In this second part, we evaluate the performances of our control framework by applying it to a casestudy that contains a minimum set of elements allowing to show its applicability and potentials. Weshow how the computation of the PQt profiles, belief funct ...

Built density, solar potential and daylighting : application of parametric studies and performance simulation tools in urban design

Giuseppe Peronato

Augmenting built density helps achieve a sustainable urban development reducing, for example, transport-related energy consumption and greenfield urbanization. Yet, in order not to undermine solar potential and daylight, an integrated design approach guara ...

Architectural Integration and Design of Solar Thermal Systems

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design, where they should be playing a greater role in the reduction of fossil-fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adopti ...

Thermoeconomic Analysis of a Solar Enhanced Energy Storage Concept Based on Thermodynamic Cycles

Samuel Henchoz

Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Up to now pumped-hydro is the only t ...
