Sensing the structural behavior: A perspective on the usefulness of monitoring information for bridge examination
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland
Managing existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, material aging, and climate change. With increasingly limited economic, environmental, and material resources, more sustainable solutions for practical asset man ...
2023Design and Control of Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures
The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and most of the environmental impacts of structures are embodied into load-bearing systems [1]. Civil structures are usually designed to meet strength and deformation requirements to withst ...
2019A Holistic Methodology for Optimizing Industrial Resource Efficiency
François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Maziar Kermani, Anna Sophia Wallerand, Julia Granacher
Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
2019Implications of the 1.5-Degree Target for Lifestyles
At current emission level, humanity would have used up their remaining carbon footprint budget from now to eternity within four years or less, when compared to the emissions compatible with keeping global warming within a limit of 1.5°C. Therefore, zero ne ...
Paul Scherrer Institute, World Resources Forum2019Methodologies for simultaneous optimization of heat, mass, and power in industrial processes
Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
EPFL2018FUTURE HOUSEHOLDS: SMALLER FOOTPRINT, BETTER LIFE?
The paper presents a project on how to achieve future household consumption already today. The project calculated lifestyle material footprint, developed household-specific roadmaps for halving material footprints by 2030, tested relevant measures towards ...
