Bioclimatic building design considering urban microclimate

The urban context is often simplified or neglected in building energy models (BEM) due to their incapacity to consider accurately all heat fluxes provided from the environment. Simplifying too much the urban context can have consequences on the accuracy of ...

Improving life cycle-based exploration methods by coupling sensitivity analysis and metamodels

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

Exploration methods combine parametric energy assessments and data visualization to support building designers at early design stages. When exploration methods come to Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) assessment, a larger ...

Synthesis and Testing of Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures

Gennaro Senatore

This paper presents the formulation of a new methodology to design adaptive structures. This design method synthesises structuralconfigurations that are optimum hybrids between a passive and an active structure. An optimisation scheme searches for an optim ...

Design Considerations and Performance Trade-Offs for 56Gb/s Discrete Multi-Tone Electrical Link

Yusuf Leblebici, Gain Kim, Thomas Toifl

For communicating over mid-to-long-reach electrical links at a data-rate above 56Gb/s, ADC-based receiver (RX) has become a dominant architecture due to its strong equalization capability using complex digital signal processing algorithm benefiting from th ...

HOUSE 1 Protostructure: Enhancement of Spatial Imagination and Craftsmanship Between the Digital and the Analogical

Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Agathe Claire Estelle Mignon, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Conceived around the concept of protostructure, HOUSE 1 deploys a strategy to answer a daring but simple question: How could we design a house between almost 300 people? The unique pedagogical framework of ALICE, first year Architectural Design course, pro ...

Data-driven building layout optimization for energy efficiency

Andrew James Sonta

Optimization of building design has the promise to substantially reduce building energy consumption. Though typically considered in early design, we demonstrate in this paper that optimal re-design of building layouts has the potential to reduce energy use ...

Designing for impact: a conceptual framework for learning analytics as self-assessment tools

Patrick Jermann, Roland John Tormey, Cécile Hardebolle, Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

Although it is frequently claimed that learning analytics can improve self-evaluation and self-regulated learning by students, most learning analytics tools appear to have been developed as a response to existing data rather than with a clear pedagogical m ...

The 2019 materials by design roadmap

Nicola Marzari, Vladan Stevanovic, Alfred Ludwig, James Murphy, Anubhav Jain

Advances in renewable and sustainable energy technologies critically depend on our ability to design and realize materials with optimal properties. Materials discovery and design efforts ideally involve close coupling between materials prediction, synthesi ...

An integrative approach for embodied energy: Towards an LCA-based data-driven design method

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The built environment is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To tackle climate change, global targets have been set for this sector. Although life-cycle assessment (LCA) methods are typically used to evaluate a building project ...
