Carbon budgets at the component scale and their impacts on design choices: the façade as a case study
Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
In accordance with the Paris agreement, the Swiss Climate Strategy (SCS) defines the net-zero target to be reached before 2050, which demands for a thoughtful carbon budget allocation between the different contributors. Ongoing normalization tasks are curr ...
2023Life cycle efficiency of solar shading systems: a proof-of-concept
Marilyne Andersen, Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
Solar control strategies are essential for the glare control and decreasing cooling needs or overheating risks (in the absence of active cooling system), however, they come with their own embodied energy. With the carbon neutrality objective looking at the ...
2021Evaluation of daylighting strategies based on their embodied carbon emissions: a first methodological framework and case study
Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
The impact of daylighting strategies on a building’s carbon emissions have so far been assessed mostly based on the building’s use phase and their resulting operational benefits, overlooking embodied carbon emissions of material production, construction, m ...
2021Office densification effects on comfort, energy, and carbon lifecycle performance: An integrated and exploratory study
Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Cédric Liardet
Generally, the environmental impacts of buildings are benchmarked per square meter as a functional unit. However, this practice prevents developing a user-centered approach in which performance is linked to real usage and not building size. Currently, the ...
2020Analysis and Visualisation of Decision Paths towards Reaching Environmental Impact Targets at Early-Design Stage
Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault
Environmental impact objectives are commonly found in building performance labels and rating schemes. Anticipating a building’s impact from the conceptual design stage and identifying decisions that do not compromise its chances of reaching these targets i ...
2020Data-driven method for low-carbon building design at early stages
The Paris agreement on climate change called for carbon neutrality as of 2050. The built environment is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect, representing 39% of global emissions. As a result, this sector is targeted by green standards an ...
EPFL2020Assessing the gap between a normative and a reality-based model of building LCA
Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Stefano Cozza
Recognized as a powerful methodology for the evaluation of environmental burdens, life cycle assessment (LCA) must be performed with close-to-reality inputs to be robust and accurate. However, the necessary real-world data is hardly available at the design ...
2020Surveying the environmental life-cycle performance assessments: Practice and context at early building design stages
Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
The international greenhouse gas agreements call for mitigations in the building industry. Thus, the number of scientific publications about life-cycle performance assessment (LCPA) follows an exponential trend since the 2000s. However, previous surveys hi ...
2020Design guidance from a Data-Driven LCA-Based Design method and tool prototype
Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
As of 2020, every new building in the European Union will have to reach the nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) performance. However, building nZEB will not be sufficient to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 as required by the last IPCC report: indeed, even n ...
2019Life-Cycle Assessment as a decision-support tool for early phases of urban planning: evaluating applicability through a comparative approach
Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault, Katarina Slavkovic
While ambitious environmental objectives are being set for new constructions in Switzerland, the assessment of urban-scale projects and comparison of their performance to national targets are made possible by a growing number of life-cycle assessment (LCA) ...
