On the Influence of Thermal Mass and Natural Ventilation on Overheating Risk in Offices

Flourentzos Flourentzou, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Arianna Brambilla, Jérôme Philippe Bonvin

Free cooling strategies are gaining importance in design practice due to the increased risk of overheating in well-insulated buildings with high internal loads such as offices. The state of the art highlights that the most efficient passive solution for in ...

Life cycle efficiency ratio: a new performance indicator for a life cycle driven approach to evaluate the potential of ventilative cooling and thermal inertia

Flourentzos Flourentzou, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Arianna Brambilla, Jérôme Philippe Bonvin

Building envelope design has gained importance as a means to reduce heating and cooling demand related to a building’s operational phase. However, in high internal load buildings, such as offices, internal gains can easily lead to overheating. Thermal iner ...

Towards a pre-design method for low carbon architectural strategies

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Arianna Brambilla, Stefano Cozza

To face climate change, Switzerland proposes the 2050 energy strategy by fixing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets for the built environment. Designers will then have to increase operating performances while inimizing embodied impacts. This represents a ...

LCA as key factor for implementation of inertia in a low carbon performance driven design: the case of the smart living building in Fribourg, Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Arianna Brambilla

The building sector is known as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption. These impacts are commonly evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA), which assess the potential impacts of a building from the construction to the ...
