Database of Embodied Quantity Outputs: Lowering Material Impacts Through Engineering

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Endrit Hoxha, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Current studies and performance labels focus mainly on the operational energy demand of buildings due to heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and hot water, but they rarely account for embodied impacts. Performing a life cycle assessment (LCA) on an en ...

Analysis and Visualisation of Decision Paths towards Reaching Environmental Impact Targets at Early-Design Stage

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault

Environmental impact objectives are commonly found in building performance labels and rating schemes. Anticipating a building’s impact from the conceptual design stage and identifying decisions that do not compromise its chances of reaching these targets i ...

Fiber-based hysteretic model for simulating strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section columns under cyclic loading

Dimitrios Lignos

An efficient component model has been developed that captures strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section (HSS) columns. The proposed model consists of two fiber-based segments at a member's ends along with an elastic segment in ...

Application of Association Rules to Determine Building Typological Classes for Seismic Damage Predictions at Regional Scale: The Case Study of Basel

Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Lorenzo Diana

Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of all ...

Introduction of a dynamic interpretation of building LCA results: the case of the smart living (lab) building in Fribourg, Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

Although a building lifetime is not predictable, it is an essential data in the yearly impact calculation. Yet, in the assessment of the environmental impacts of building the lifetime is considered as a fixed value. The purpose of this study is to introduc ...
