Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Indo-Swiss Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP) is a cooperation project between the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of the Swiss Confederation. Started in 2011, the project's central focus is to h ...
Based on the ASHRAE Standard 140-2014, this study takes the simulation results of DeST and other simulation software to comprehensively test the accuracy and validity of DeST in calculating building thermal loads and space cooling and heating equipment per ...
It is known that the ground represents a vast heat energy reservoir but the main challenge relies how technically exploit it in a sustainable way. Vertical BHEs represent a non-invasive application to improve the decarbonisation of the heating sector for d ...
The goal of this project was to work on room occupancy and to provide solutions and ideas on how to detect if a room is occupied or not using generic and non expensive sensors. This is motivated by the fact that buildings account for 50% of the total energ ...
Building energy consumption comprises a highly complex set of dynamics that critically depend on the behavior of building occupants. A key area of ongoing research is the simulation of energy consumption for evaluation of occupant-centric building design o ...
The amount of heat flux passing through the building envelope directly affects the energy use for the thermal conditioning of the building. The ventilated cavity behind the traditional external claddings (e.g., vinyl siding, brick veneer) adjacent to the w ...
AMER SOC HEATING, REFRIGERATING AND AIR-CONDITIONING ENGS2021
In light of increasing sustainability requirements, one of the challenges related to the heritage building stock consists in finding a balance between preserving the existing architectural character and improving energy efficiency. The project presented in ...
We performed the first large-scale investigation of indoor air quality (IAQ), energy and occupant behavior and satisfaction, in 650 energy-efficient dwellings in western Switzerland. The investigation included comparative assessment of 217 green-certified ...
For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can enhance the ...
Recent green building certification programs have put a strong emphasis on occupant health and well-being. For recently emerged WELL certification, we lack evidence about its effectiveness in relation to occupant satisfaction, productivity and health. Here ...
