The Canopy Pavilion: A lightweight shading structure using a deployable auxetic linkage membrane

Mark Pauly, Dieter Dietz, Florin Isvoranu, Arthur François Blanc, Tian Chen, Etienne Bouleau

We present the Canopy Pavilion, a lightweight shading structure for a social gathering space. The shading surface is realized as a tensioned auxetic linkage membrane, composed of two double-curved anticlastic layers separated by a compression pole. The mem ...

Slope-Space Integrals for Specular Next Event Estimation

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Monte Carlo light transport simulations often lack robustness in scenes containing specular or near-specular materials. Widely used uni- and bidirectional sampling strategies tend to find light paths involving such materials with insufficient probability, ...

Specular Manifold Sampling for Rendering High-Frequency Caustics and Glints

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

Scattering from specular surfaces produces complex optical effects that are frequently encountered in realistic scenes: intricate caustics due to focused reflection, multiple refraction, and high-frequency glints from specular microstructure. Yet, despite ...

Ultra-Broadband and Omnidirectional Perfect Absorber Based on Copper Nanowire/Carbon Nanotube Hierarchical Structure

Giulia Tagliabue, Fateme Kiani Shahvandi, Theodoros Tsoulos

Zero reflection and complete light absorption are required in a wide range of applications ranging from sensing devices to solar heaters and photoelectrodes. However, simultaneously satisfying the requirements of the broadband spectrum, omnidirectionality, ...

A critical comparison of methods to estimate solar rooftop photovoltaic potential in Switzerland

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

To understand the opportunities and challenges of large shares of solar photovoltaics (PV) in our electricity mix, various large-scale studies of PV potential on building roofs have been conducted in recent years. The use of different datasets, methods and ...

Influence of photovoltaic panel orientation on modern energy systems in residential buildings

Luise Middelhauve

The aim of modern energy systems is to be independent of fossil fuels and to minimize their impact on the environment. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are a common solution for renewable electric energy generation, but the volatility caused by the fluctuation of ...

Smooth Shapes with Spherical Topology: Beyond Traditional Modeling, Efficient Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as subdivision or NURBS. Both polygon models a ...

Smoothly Deformable Spheres: Modeling, Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as NURBS. Polygon models and subdivision metho ...

Occupants’ behaviour in energy simulation tools: lessons from a field monitoring campaign regarding lighting and shading control

Marilyne Andersen

Previous studies have shown that the choice of the behavioural model for the control of lighting and shading devices has important implications in the energy performance assessment of office buildings and directly influences the comparison of design altern ...
