An explorative method to support design decisions based on carbon constraints and daylight sufficiency needs
The global construction industry contributes to 37% of carbon emissions associated to both building operations and construction. To help achieve the net-zero targets set by 2050, it is mandated to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. As we ...
EPFL2024(In)visible reuse: Retrofit and refurbishment practices in the home
The construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and emissions from housing and construction contribute to approximately 40% of all annual global carbon dioxide emissions. With cities racing to meet their climate targets, there is ...
2023Discomfort glare from daylight: Influence of transmitted color and the eye's macular pigment
Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design as it requires to account for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks, and understand the f ...

EPFL2023Classification of Tropical Deforestation Drivers with Machine Learning and Satellite Image Time Series
Devis Tuia, Jan Pisl, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
Tropical deforestation is a major environmental problem with severe consequences such as carbon emissions or biodiversity loss. While much research focuses on monitoring and mapping deforestation, less attention is paid to understanding the various reasons ...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.2023Effect of window glazing color and transmittance on human visual comfort
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain
: Occupants’ visual comfort in an indoor space strongly depend on the quantity and quality of the daylight inside the space which can be altered with the type of window glazing. In this study, we compared the visual comfort perception of participants with ...
2022DOES COLOR OF GLAZING CHANGE OUR PERCEPTION OF GLARE FROM DAYLIGHT?
Windows in workplace environment are desirable for their several proven physiological, psychological and economic benefits. Daylight from windows is also responsible for glare which can cause occupants to close the blinds. Glazing properties of the windows ...
2022Towards a negative-emission society
Negative carbon emissions are proved necessary to limit global temperature increase below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels. (a) Reducing carbon sources and (b) increasing negative emissions are two effective ways to achieve this goal. (a) involves th ...
EPFL2022Ug-value and edge heat loss of triple glazed insulating glass units:A comparison between measured and declared values
Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer
Triple glazed low-e coated insulating glass units with argon filling of five different suppliers on the European market with a declared thermal transmittance in the undisturbed centre of glass (Ug-value) of 0.6 W/m(2)K have been purchased from resellers an ...
ELSEVIER2021Behind electrochromic glazing: Assessing user's perception of glare from the sun in a controlled environment
Jan Wienold, Caroline Karmann, Sneha Jain
The adaptable transmittance of electrochromic glazing allows to control the solar radiation entering buildings, yet the level of transmittance needed to protect from glare is still an unanswered question. To bridge this gap, this study evaluates the level ...
