Shape control and whole-life energy assessment of an ‘infinitely stiff’ prototype adaptive structure

A previously developed design methodology produces optimum adaptive structures that minimise the whole-life energy which is made of an embodied part in the material and an operational part for structural adaptation. Planar and complex spatial reticular str ...

Analysis and Optimization of CO2-networks

This project has been motivated by the desire to provide a sustainable thermal energy network combining low environmental impact, high energy efficiency and high profitability. It suggests alternative optimal scenarios to satisfy the heating and cooling de ...

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 ...

High performance carbon-based printed perovskite solar cells with humidity assisted thermal treatment

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Syed Ghufran Hashmi

We report humidity assisted thermal exposure (HTE) as a post-treatment method for carbon based printed perovskite solar cells (CPSCs). The method does not only improve the interfaces of different layers of the printed stack, but also provides a pathway to ...

Needed reduction in mobility energy consumption to meet the goal of a 2000-watt society

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Frédéric Rast

Greenhouse gas emissions related to energy production is the main cause of climate change. Transportation accounts for 30% of the total energy consumption, and a reduction in the energy used for mobility is necessary. The 2000-watt society is an environmen ...

On the necessity of improving the environmental impacts of furniture and appliances in net-zero energy buildings

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

There is now clear evidence regarding the extensive use of furniture and appliances in daily human life, but there is less evidence of their impact on the environment. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this study focuses on an assessment of the environm ...

Inhalation intake fraction of particulate matter from localized indoor emissions

Dusan Licina

Elevated exposure to airborne particulate matter is linked to deleterious health and well-being outcomes. Exposure assessment can be improved through enhanced understanding of source-receptor relationships, for example as expressed in the inhalation intake ...

Consommations énergétiques et cadres de vie

Lorris Tabbone

The detailed analysis of energy consumption requires a global approach to behaviour and individual action registers. This makes it possible to investigate the question between the different spheres of activity of people, from housing to habitat and from ha ...

Large and reversible shape changes as a strategy for structural adaptation

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures are sensed and actuated to perform tasks such as modifying their internal load-path in response to external actions to maintain optimal performance. Shape control and load-path redirection have been investigated to counteract the effect ...

Adaptive Natural Oscillator to Exploit Natural Dynamics for Energy Efficiency

Auke Ijspeert, Mahdi Khoramshahi

We present a novel adaptive oscillator, called Adaptive Natural Oscillator (ANO), to exploit the natural dynamics of a given robotic system. This tool is built upon the Adaptive Frequency Oscillator (AFO), and it can be used as a pattern generator in robot ...
