Innovations Practitioners Need for Circularity in the Swiss Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Sector

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Although widely recognized as imperative for reducing global emissions and the amount of waste generated by the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, a large-scale shift from a linear to a circular economy has not yet happened in practi ...

Endogenous Energy Efficiency Improvement in Housing and Cement Sectors in Switzerland

Sergey Arzoyan

The reduction of energy consumption in the residential building stock and cement industry is a substantial component of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050. Therefore, it is vital to identify the potential for EEI in these two sectors. In this study, a new meth ...

Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti

We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...

Optimal Combination Policies For Adaptive Social Learning

Ping Hu, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon

This paper investigates the effect of combination policies on the performance of adaptive social learning in non-stationary environments. By analyzing the relation between the error probability and the underlying graph topology, we prove that in the slow a ...

Linear Speedup In Saddle-Point Escape For Decentralized Non-Convex Optimization

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

Under appropriate cooperation protocols and parameter choices, fully decentralized solutions for stochastic optimization have been shown to match the performance of centralized solutions and result in linear speedup (in the number of agents) relative to no ...

Corporate policies with permanent and transitory shocks

Erwan Morellec

We model the financing, cash holdings, and hedging policies of a firm facing financing frictions and subject to permanent and transitory cash flow shocks. The permanent and transitory shocks generate distinct, sometimes opposite, effects on corporate polic ...

Policy packaging in support of absolute decoupling – a conceptual model

Global resource consumption has seen marked increases in the last century, in particular since the 1950s. In transforming these materials into products, food, infrastructure and energy functions for mobility and housing, significant environmental impacts a ...

Exact Diffusion for Distributed Optimization and Learning---Part II: Convergence Analysis

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

Part I of this work developed the exact diffusion algorithm to remove the bias that is characteristic of distributed solutions for deterministic optimization problems. The algorithm was shown to be applicable to a larger set of combination policies than ea ...

Policy mixes for resource efficiency – theoretical and practical challenges

Based on an on-going research project called “Policy options for a resource efficient Europe” (POLFREE), this paper analyses potential policy instruments and their interdependencies in a policy mix for resource efficiency. It focuses on fundamental trade-o ...

Exploring the potential of e-mobility to improve resource efficiency through scenario-based life cycle analysis

The transport sector is the second largest emitter of GHG emissions in the EU and about two thirds of the emissions are generated from road transport. More importantly, while emissions from other sectors have shown a consistent decreasing trend, GHG emissi ...
