Diols, meso- and dl-PrCH(OH)CH(OH)Pr, cis- and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, 9,10,-cis-dihydroxy-cis,trans-1,5-cyclododecadiene, trans-7,8-dihydroxybicyclo[4.2.0]octane, and I, are epimerized by heating their dilithium diolates in (MeOCH2CH2)2O in 55-78% yiel ...
The efficient thermal control of buildings is a complex problem. Non controlled perturbations like user behaviour and meteorological conditions can change much with time and make this task difficult. This work proposes considering the building as a 'living ...
The paper describes a predictive and adaptive heating controller, using artificial neural networks to allow the adaptation of the control model to the real conditions (climate, building characteristics, user's behaviour). The controller algorithm has been ...
Extending the idea of exergy to practitioners and policy makers is still a major challenge. Recently the "Canton of Geneva" in Switzerland introduced a new law governing the procedures of attribution of building permits for new or retrofitted city areas. A ...
In Switzerland there are single bodies for both trade union organisations (SEV, VHTL, SSP, USS) and professional organisations (Economie Suisse being the peak association combining all the employer organisations: the Public Transport Union, CFF, BLS, Sped ...
District energy systems have the potential to decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services (heating, hot water, cooling and electricity), thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to a group of b ...
Following the pioneering work of the AGS Tokyo half project, a geographical information system has been developed to model the energy requirement of a urban area. The purpose of this platform is to model with sufficient details the energy services requirem ...
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy has published directives in order to limit the increase of electrical energy consumption to a maximum of 5% in 2010 in comparison with 2000. To reach this goal, clear measures have to be taken regarding the installation a ...
