Surveying the environmental life-cycle performance assessments: Practice and context at early building design stages

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The international greenhouse gas agreements call for mitigations in the building industry. Thus, the number of scientific publications about life-cycle performance assessment (LCPA) follows an exponential trend since the 2000s. However, previous surveys hi ...

Suitability of neighborhood-scale massing models for daylight performance evaluation

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

Access to daylight in buildings is the combined effect of a building’s own physical attributes along with its surrounding physical context. There is thus growing interest among researchers to extend the use of building performance simulation (BPS) tools fo ...

Ergonomic Simulation Revisited Using Parametric Virtual Humans in the Biomechanical Framework

Hareesh Puthiya Veettil

The conventional CAD/CAM approach to design does not show the essential spatial relationships between user and product that are crucial for intuitive design analysis. As populations age and the home appliance market stagnates, Universal Design principles i ...

Development of a collaborative conceptual desing support system

Duck Young Kim

Most of the life cycle cost of a product can be pre-determined by the end of the conceptual design phase, which begins with the establishment of a function structure by decomposing an overall function into a set of sub-functions. However, today's products ...

Simplified Design Methodology for a Slotless Brushless DC Motor

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic

The paper presents a simplified analytical method to design a small two-pole slotless brushless dc motor. Using only a few approximations, the motor analytical model is formulated to generate a system of equations. The system can be solved analytically, pr ...

A new fuzzy multicriteria decision aid method for conceptual design

Razvan Alexandru Gheorghe

Product end-of-life treatment is unavoidable, no matter how well the product is designed. European regulations becoming stringent regarding the disposal of products, emphasis on end-of-life (EOL) issues at the conceptual design stage gained in importance. ...
