Daylight – visual comfort and non-visual functions

Mirjam Münch

Within the last decades it became evident that light through the eyes is essential for both visual and non-visual functions. One of the most important non-visual functions of light is the daily entrainment of the circadian clock by environmental light cond ...

Analysis of the impact of travellers' attitudes and perceptions on mode choice in low-density areas

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González, Aurélie Glerum, Bilge Atasoy, Alberto Monticone

Mode choice is influenced by quantitative aspects such as cost and time, but importance should be given to qualitative aspects such as people's attitudes or perceptions towards the different modes as well. These latent characteristics can be integrated int ...

Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland: a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures

Cecilia Matasci, Juan Carlos Altamirano Cabrera

The tourism industry is particularly affected by climate change, being very climate- and weather- dependent. Moreover, particularly in the Alpine region, it is specially exposed to natural hazards. Nonetheless, this industry is an important pillar of the S ...

Thermo-economic modeling of fuel decarbonization processes

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock

A systematic framework is developed for the thermo-environomic modeling, analysis and optimization of fuel decarbonization processes using precombustion routes to decarbonize the fuel by CO2 removal before burning the purified H2-rich gas in a gas turbine ...
