Disassembly of products at their end-of-life is an important topic, since the general objective of product recycling is to increase the amount of parts recovered and reused while minimizing the amount of disposal. In addition, materials have to be recovere ...
Building performance simulation (BPS) is the basis for informed decision-making of Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) design. This paper aims to investigate the use of building performance simulation tools as a method of informing the design decision of NZE ...
Floods are not only due to fatality. It is the responsibility of the human being to protect himself from heavy damages due to natural elements, and he sometimes has the chance to profit from a given situation to influence events. One of these possibilities ...
This paper presents a new method for evaluating product designs at their early stage of development according to different criteria and a case-study-based project. The goal is to select among imprecisely defined design alternatives in a multicriteria conte ...

Even though it oversimplifies reality, the dam-break problem for frictionless fluids provides predictions relevant to various manmade and natural dam-break floods. The exact solution can also be used to test numerical schemes. However, as far as we are awa ...
The Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) framework can be used to model a wide range of optimization problems that are inherently distributed. A distributed optimization problem can be viewed as a problem distributed over a set of agents, where agent ...
A previous study, of Wenk, 2011, showed, in the case of a simple heat exchanger model, inconsistencies between optimization results with different investment decision criteria. As a result, a deep analysis of the state of the art in financial decision maki ...
Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...
This document provides a methodical investigation of the main assessment steps that have led to the construction of Eurotunnel and it compares the results of the analyses that were achieved before the key decisions with the results of studies that have bee ...
