Building ventilation and outdoor air pollution: Implications for health, comfort and energy

Evangelos Belias

As humans spend most of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts their health. In parallel, building ventilation consumes significant energy, contributing to climate change. However, the relationships between the building ventilat ...

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 ...

We managed to construct two novel and functional methodologies to depict the evolution of energy efficiency improvements (EEI) in two Swiss sectors, housing and cement. This allowed us to obtain a better representation of EEI triggered by energy and climat ...

Exploring policy change through agent-based simulation

Raphaël Klein

Policymaking is a complex process that has been studied using policy process theories almost exclusively. These theories have been built using a large number of qualitative cases. Such methods are useful for theory building but remain limited for theory ex ...

Critical review of standards for indoor thermal environment and air quality

Dolaana Khovalyg

Quality of the indoor environment has become an important parameter to account for in new and existing buildings due to the increasing number of people spending most of their time indoors. Generally, the design and evaluation of indoor environments in buil ...

Do energy performance certificates allow reliable predictions of actual energy consumption and savings? Learning from the Swiss national database

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Stefano Cozza, Arno Schlueter

The thermal performance gap in buildings is defined as the difference between the theoretical and the actual energy consumption for heating, and is known to undermine energy retrofit strategies and policies. This study examines the performance gap in retro ...

The organisation of science: topics, incentives and funding.

Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...

In this paper we develop a fully decentralized algorithm for policy evaluation with off-policy learning and linear function approximation. The proposed algorithm is of the variance reduced kind and achieves linear convergence with O(1) memory requirements. ...

Precision mechanics: the buvette (pump room) of Évian-les-Bains is not just an architecture of great formal elegance, but above all an extraordinary technological object, a machine carefully calibrated, in equilibrium. Architectural criticism has largely d ...
