Swisswoodhouse, an innovative concept for sustainable modular housing

The Swisswoodhouse concept was born out of the crossover of several lines of thought concerning issues of urban densification, flexibility of housing, adaptability of buildings and sustainable construction. The approach aims to provide an alternative to th ...

The communication process

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

In order to stimulate an increased use of solar in energy conscious building design, the Task 41 participants have developed a Communication Guideline as a tool to support architects in their communication process with especially clients, authorities and c ...

Solar shading and its influence on daylight and well-being

Marilyne Andersen

This talk will provide current research perspectives on shading systems, on how their performance can be evaluated and on what the implications are on comfort and health. In particular, the latest results from an ongoing research project conducted at the L ...

Architectural Integration and Design of Solar Thermal Systems

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design, where they should be playing a greater role in the reduction of fossil-fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adopti ...

Urban acceptability of building integrated solar systems: LESO-QSV approach

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

The concern for sustainable development issues together with the new EU promotion policies are finally leading to a widespread use of Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal systems in buildings. This upcoming reality is opening a new debate on the urban/architectu ...

Optimisation of Urban Form by the Evaluation of the Solar Potential

Marylène Montavon

What will the cities of tomorrow look like? This is a crucial question because in the four and a half billion years of its existence, the Earth has never been so threatened, as it is today. Since 2008 half of the world's population has lived in towns – mor ...

Solar Potential Assessment on Roofs of Urban Areas and its Integration

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Jakob Moritz Fabian Rager

This article integrates solar potential in a given urban area for the competing technologies of Photovoltaic and thermal collectors. On an urban level, scalable from several buildings to whole cities, the authors examine the possibility of solar power inte ...

Solar radiation modelling for urban environments

Darren Robinson

In this paper we briefly describe three alternative techniques for modelling solar radiation in the urban context. These include the use of: (i) simple morphological parameters as indicators of radiation availability, (ii) a ray-tracing program in conjunct ...

Thermo-Economic Optimisation of Solar Tower Thermal Power Plants

James Spelling

Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...

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 ...
