Results from the monitoring of indoor environment and occupant perceived productivity in office buildings

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on almost 18 months of continuous direct measurements coupled with an electronic questionnaire, we have analysed the influence of indoor temperature and illuminance, outdoor climate parameters, thermal and visual sensation, clothing and season on the ...

A PARTIAL DOUBLE BLIND EVALUATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE WINDOW OPENING MODEL

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

One of the key sources of uncertainty in building simulation relates to the presence and behaviour of occupants. Fortunately, several academic groups have been working to address this uncertainty, particularly in relation to the use of windows and the corr ...

On the unification of thermal perception and adaptive actions

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Occupants exercise adaptive actions in response to discomforting environmental stimuli in an attempt to restore their comfort. These responses to adaptive actions are either ignored (conventional PMV models) or handled in an aggregated way (adaptive therma ...

A comparison of global optimisation algorithms with standard benchmark functions and real-world applications using EnergyPlus

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson

There is an increasing interest in the use of computer algorithms to identify combinations of parameters which optimise the energy performance of buildings. For such problems, the objective function can be multi-modal and needs to be approximated numerical ...

From the neighbourhood to the city : resource flow modelling for urban sustainability

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi, Diane Perez, Adil Rasheed, Urs Wilke, Philippe Leroux

Agreed intergovernmental targets to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases due to predominantly urban anthropogenic activities are becoming increasingly stringent; one might even say ambitious. One crucial strategy in achieving these targets will be to im ...

Explosion of energy demand for air cooling in summer: perspectives and solutions (EEDACS)

Claude-Alain Roulet, Philippe Renaud, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy has published directives in order to limit the increase of electrical energy consumption to a maximum of 5% in 2010 in comparison with 2000. To reach this goal, clear measures have to be taken regarding the installation a ...

A hybrid CMA-ES and HDE optimisation algorithm with application to solar energy potential

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson

This paper describes the results of initial experiments to apply computational algorithms to explore a large parameter space containing many variables in the search for an optimal solution for the sustainable design of an urban development using a potentia ...

Interactions with window openings by office occupants

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on almost seven years of continuous measurements, we have analysed in detail the influence of occupancy patterns, indoor temperature and outdoor climate parameters (temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity and rainfall) on window open ...

Optimisation of buildings solar irradiation availability

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Marylène Montavon, Raffaele Bolliger, Josep Bunyesc Palacín

In order to improve the sustainability of new and existing urban settlements it is desirable to maximise the utilisation of the solar energy incident on the building envelope, whether by passive or active means. To this end we have coupled a multi-objectiv ...
