This illustrated Construction Type Manual in 5 languages compiles 170 construction methods describing techniques which use plants as building materials. This includes preparations necessary before they can be planted and become effective. This is followed ...
The aim of the work proposed in this paper is to test and evaluate the dry stratified construction technology for building envelope in warm climate (such as in Milan, Italy), showing the actual comfort and energy assessment of the first Italian Nearly Zero ...
Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...
As a building physicis engineer specialized in daylighting and passive solar strategies for buildings, Marilyne Andersen provides an overview of her pioneering work in comfort and health implications of daylight, and on low-energy building technologies. Wi ...

Buildings account for over 40% of the energy consumption in the United States, nearly 40% of which is attributed to lighting. The selection of a fenestration system for a building is a critical decision as it offsets electric lighting use as well as impact ...
A conference on advanced building skins was held in Bressanone, Italy on November 5-6, 2013. The main objective of this conference is to contribute to a multidisciplinary, integrated planning approach to sustainable buildings and to create a dialogue among ...
We devise a multiple (concurrent) commitment scheme operating on large messages. It uses an ideal global setup functionality in a minimalistic way. The commitment phase is non-interactive. It is presented in a modular way so that the internal building bloc ...
To date, none of the predictions that have been made about the emerging BIPV industry have really hit the target. The anticipated boom has so far stalled and despite developing and promoting a number of excellent systems and products, many producers around ...
A 1-D canopy interface model (CIM) has been developed recently and integrated in the meso-scale meteorological WRF v3.5 model in order to improve the surface representation. One of the objectives of such a model is to prepare for the coupling of micro-scal ...
