Validation of spectral simulation tools in the context of ipRGC-influenced light responses of building occupants

Marilyne Andersen, Clotilde Marie A Pierson

With the growing awareness about ipRGC-influenced light (IIL) responses, design applications related to these responses are flourishing. To compare design options and optimize lighting conditions for building occupants, lighting simulations are typically u ...

Robust Learning Model Predictive Control for Periodically Correlated Building Control

Colin Neil Jones, Jicheng Shi, Yingzhao Lian

Accounting for more than 40% of global energy consumption, residential and commercial buildings will be key players in any future green energy systems. To fully exploit their potential while ensuring occupant comfort, a robust control scheme is required to ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning for room temperature control: a black-box pipeline from data to policies

Colin Neil Jones, Bratislav Svetozarevic, Loris Di Natale

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) recently emerged as a possibility to control complex systems without the need to model them. However, since weeks long experiments are needed to assess the performance of a building controller, people still have to rely on ...

Field evaluation of thermal and acoustical comfort in eight North-American buildings using embedded radiant systems

Caroline Karmann

We performed a post-occupancy assessment based on 500 occupant surveys in eight buildings using embedded radiant heating and cooling systems. This study follows-up on a quantitative assessment of 60 office buildings that found radiant and all-air buildings ...

Design-to-Fabrication Workflow for Raw-Sawn-Timber using Joinery Solver

Petras Vestartas

Currently, the Swiss timber industry in mountain areas largely exports unprocessed lumber and imports finished timber products due to the lack of digital tools. By using new digital design-to-production workflows, it is possible to investigate new building ...

Automated flow control of a multi-lane swimming chamber for small fishes indicates species-specific sensitivity to experimental protocols

In fishes, swimming performance is considered an important metric to measure fitness, dispersal and migratory abilities. The swimming performance of individual larval fishes is often integrated into models to make inferences on how environmental parameters ...

Data-driven methods for building control - A review and promising future directions

Colin Neil Jones, Yingzhao Lian, Emilio Maddalena

A review of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning control problem for buildings is presented with particular emphasis on its distinguishing features. Next, we not only examine how data-driven algorithms have been exploited to tackle the main challe ...

Modern Schools in Angola, 1961-1975: Design with Climate and Heritage

Maria Margarida Gonçalves Quintã

The architectural production of Angola between 1961 and 1975 forms the basis of the current study. Taking into consideration that buildings' environmental performance is, at one time, one of the most central aspects of the Modern Movement legacy and a pres ...

Cooperative energy management of a community of smart-buildings: A Blockchain approach

Maher Kayal, Olivier Valentin Henri Van Cutsem

Demand Response (DR) is progressively moving from a centralized, unidirectional structure to a set of advanced decentralized mechanisms that better balance distributed supply and demand. This paper presents a decentralized cooperative DR framework to manag ...

On Smart-Buildings and their Integration into the Smart-Grid

Olivier Valentin Henri Van Cutsem

Today's electrical grid is undergoing deep changes, resulting from the large integration of distributed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in an effort to decarbonize the generation of electrical energy. In addition to the emergence of this volatile electricit ...
