Fusing Pre-existing Knowledge and Machine Learning for Enhanced Building Thermal Modeling and Control
Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30% of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits to tackle such large-scale problems, data-driven methods and Machine ...
EPFL2024Stability and degradation of (oxy)nitride photocatalysts for solar water splitting
Sophia Haussener, Franky Esteban Bedoya Lora
Advancing towards alternative technologies for the sustainable production of hydrogen is a necessity for the successful integration of this potentially green fuel in the future. Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting are promising concepts ...
2024Making Market Halls: Urban and Food Regeneration in Fribourg
Cities have been shaped by the exchange of food goods. The market hall was the building where the market took place as a social and economic activity. Their slow disappearance in the 20th Century was mostly due to a shift in consumption pattern as well as ...
2023Sinter-Resistant Nickel Catalyst for Lignin Hydrogenolysis Achieved by Liquid Phase Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina
Jeremy Luterbacher, Songlan Sun, Farzaneh Talebkeikhah
Lignin hydrogenolysis is a key step in the sustainable production of renewable bio-based chemicals and fuels. Heterogeneous metal catalysts have led to high yields but they rapidly deactivate, notably due to nanoparticle sintering and carbonaceous deposit ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Wellbeing and sufficiency in SWICE
SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition) aims to answer: how to improve wellbeing for all with a much lower energy use? Wellbeing is a state of thriving, which involves full participation in society, a ...
2023Comparative Exergy and Economic Assessment of Fossil and Biomass-Based Routes for Ammonia Production
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego
Due to the increasing concerns about the marked dependence on fossil resources and their intrinsic economic uncertainty, as well as motivated by more stringent environmental regulations, the pursuit of alternative energy resources for the synthetic fertili ...
Silesian University of Technology2023SWICE position paper on wellbeing
This document aims to help ensure consistent use of wellbeing in all work packages and activities of SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition). Sustainability is usually defined as a practice that “meets ...
SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition)2023Electrification and digitalization effects on sectoral energy demand and consumption: A prospective study towards 2050
François Maréchal, Fabian Heymann, Xiang Li
Energy transition is blurring the boundaries between the demand and supply sides with growing participation of prosumer resources. The intensifying pace of electrification and digitalization during the past decade tends to continue, leading to potential te ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Data-driven optimization tool for the functional, economic, and environmental properties of blended cement concrete using supplementary cementitious materials
The need to produce more sustainable concrete is proving imminent given the rising environmental concerns facing the industry. Blended cement concrete, based on any of the prominent supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, ground granul ...
ELSEVIER2023RECA: A Multi-Task Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Recommender System for Co-Optimizing Energy, Comfort and Air Quality in Commercial Buildings
We present the design and implementation of RECA, a novel human-centric recommender system for co-optimizing energy consumption, comfort and air quality in commercial buildings. Existing works generally optimize these objectives separately, or by only cont ...
