On the Influence of Thermal Mass and Natural Ventilation on Overheating Risk in Offices

Flourentzos Flourentzou, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Arianna Brambilla, Jérôme Philippe Bonvin

Free cooling strategies are gaining importance in design practice due to the increased risk of overheating in well-insulated buildings with high internal loads such as offices. The state of the art highlights that the most efficient passive solution for in ...

IntegrCiTy - D4.3 Report - Integrated method for systematic scenario generation using multi-objective optimization

Luc Girardin

Multi-energy networks are going to play an important role in dense areas (cities) for the energy transition and the integration of renewable energy sources [1]. The IntegrCiTy project uses a co-simulation approach at urban scale in order to maximize the pe ...

Advanced Active Façades : The construction of a full-scale demonstrator for BIPV architectural integration

Sophie Lufkin, Angela Clua Longas

In most European countries, new energy directives on building performance have been developed as a consequence of unsustainable greenhouse gas emissions. These norms promote active and passive energy strategies to lower the environmental impact of the buil ...

Lighting simulation for External Venetian blinds based on BTDF and HDR sky luminance monitoring

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

The precise daylighting simulation in buildings can potentially contribute to designers’ and occupants’ smart utilization of it. The traditional method of employing sky models was indicated with noticeable errors in transient lighting simulation for comple ...

Setting contextual life-cycle objectives in urban design: requirements for a decision-support method

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault

A variety of building labels and norms exist that set evermore-ambitious environmental and energy performance targets. In parallel, a growing number of building performance evaluation tools are adopting the life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to allow ...

An Indicator-Based Approach for Analyzing the Resilience of Transitions for Energy Regions – Concept, empirics and reflection

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Susan Marie Mühlemeier

The transition of our current energy system from a fossil-based system to a system based on renewables is likely to be one of the most complex and long-term societal transitions in history. The need for a fundamental system transformation raises the questi ...

SCCER-FURIES - Design of Sizes for Buildings Energy Systems as a Function of the Grid Evolution - Deliverable 1.4.1a

Luc Girardin, Paul Michael Stadler, Lionel Benjamin Bloch, Jordan Holweger, Luise Middelhauve, Hervé Tommasi

The increasing use of renewable energy is a deep going trend mainly supported by the sustained annual growth rate of solar photovoltaic, wind power and biogases. The expansion and evolution of the distribution grids is therefore a key issue to ensure a sec ...

Design of Approximate Circuits by Fabrication of False Timing Paths: The Carry Cut-Back Adder

Christian Enz, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter, Mattia Cacciotti

This paper introduces a novel method for designing approximate circuits by fabricating and exploiting false timing paths, i.e. critical paths that cannot be logically activated. This allows to strongly relax timing constraints while guaranteeing minimal an ...

Influence of façade details on early design decisions regarding daylight performance of neighborhoods

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

Neighborhood form and building facade design are key drivers of indoor daylight performance. Architectural design at the neighborhood scale starts with massing scheme proposals and other design specifications including façade design are typically enriched ...

Daylight in buildings

Jan Wienold

Daylight should be a significant source of illumination for all spaces with daylight opening(s). Daylight is strongly favoured by building occupants as a way to adequately illuminate the indoor surfaces, and to save energy for electrical lighting. Daylight ...
