Bis-Sulfone- and Bis-Sulfoxide-Spirobifluorenes: Polar Acceptor Hosts with Tunable Solubilities for Blue-Phosphorescent Light-Emitting Devices

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Bis-sulfone- and bis-sulfoxide-spirobifluorenes are a promising class of high-triplet-energy electron-acceptor hosts for blue phosphorescent light-emitting devices. The molecular design and synthetic route are simple and facilitate tailoring of the solubil ...

The sensitivity of predicted energy use to urban geometrical factors in various climates

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Parag Rastogi

Urban morphology, including building typology and layout, has a significant influence on the built environment’s access to the sun, which impacts its energy exchange with the environment. This energy exchange is a strong factor in determining the comfort l ...

Evaluation and optimization of renewable energy in the Quartier Nord: objective zero-power

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dasaraden Mauree, Yang Yao

Buildings account for almost 40% of energy consumption in European countries and hence are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulations and standards (Minergie, Minergie P, etc.) are strongly encouraging more sustainab ...

Urban Morphology and Energy Consumption: Simplified Tools for the Estimation of Energy Needs and Solar Income at the Urban and District level

François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Gilles Desthieux

Urban form matters in assessing the energy consumption of buildings. This chapter introduces three useful tools to assess the environmental impact of the urban form and to define possible energy scenarios. These outcomes can be used to inform the redevelop ...

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 ...

Exploration of zeroth-order Wavefunctions and Energies for Intramolecular Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory

Jérôme Florian Gonthier

Non-covalent interactions occur between and within all molecules and have a profound impact on structural and electronic phenomena in chemistry, biology, and material science. Understanding the nature of inter-and intramolecular interactions is essential n ...

Net primary energy balance of a solar-driven photoelectrochemical water-splitting device

Sophia Haussener

A fundamental requirement for a renewable energy generation technology is that it should produce more energy during its lifetime than is required to manufacture it. In this study we evaluate the primary energy requirements of a prospective renewable energy ...

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 ...
