A fast machine learning model for large-scale estimation of annual solar irradiation on rooftops

Roberto Castello, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

Rooftop-mounted solar photovoltaics have shown to be a promising technology to provide clean electricity in urban areas. Several large-scale studies have thus been conducted in different countries and cities worldwide to estimate their PV potential for the ...

Outdoor Operating Temperature of Modules in BIPV and BAPV Topologies

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother

Photovoltaics (PV) are promoted as an environmentally friendly alternative to carbon intensive energy sources, however, typical installations require expansive land-use. Building-integrated and building-applied photovoltaics (BIPV and BAPV) minimize this i ...

Urban greening archetypes at the European scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Silvia Coccolo, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Cynthia Houmani, Ismaël Krafess

Urban greening has great ecological, social and economic benefits for the built environment. It also has significant impacts on the microclimate and urban energy balance. In this study, we quantify the impacts of urban greening on the ground surface temper ...

Identifying carbon emission reduction potentials of BIPV in high-density cities in Southeast Asia

Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter

We use life cycle analysis, urban building energy simulations and urban form generation to compare the operational carbon emissions of buildings with building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in locations with different grid electricity mixes in Southeast A ...

Building energy certification versus user satisfaction with the indoor environment: Findings from a multi-site post-occupancy evaluation (POE) in Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore

Voluntary green-rating systems exist in different forms worldwide to certify the sustainability of residential and commercial buildings and help national policies promote energy-efficient design practices. Despite the general assumption that sustainable bu ...

Design and Control of Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures

Gennaro Senatore

The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and most of the environmental impacts of structures are embodied into load-bearing systems [1]. Civil structures are usually designed to meet strength and deformation requirements to withst ...

Radon Investigation in 650 Energy Efficient Dwellings in Western Switzerland: Impact of Energy Renovation and Building Characteristics

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang

As part of more stringent energy targets in Switzerland, we witness the appearance of new green-certified dwellings while many existing dwellings have undergone energy efficiency measures. These measures have led to reduced energy consumption, but rarely c ...

A critical comparison of methods to estimate solar rooftop photovoltaic potential in Switzerland

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

To understand the opportunities and challenges of large shares of solar photovoltaics (PV) in our electricity mix, various large-scale studies of PV potential on building roofs have been conducted in recent years. The use of different datasets, methods and ...

Modernità discreta: Adolf Loos costruisce in montagna

Luca Ortelli

The country house that Adolf Loos designed for Paul Khuner in Payerbach represents one of his most brilliant achievements, complementary to the more famous Villa Müller in Prague. These two buildings, both completed in 1930, constitute a sort of legacy sum ...
