Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design

The Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) at EPFL focuses on questions of energy, health, comfort, and perception in the design of the built environment. With a strategic goal of meeting building occupant needs, LIPID's core area of expertise lies in daylighting strategies. Their research spans from human to urban scales, utilizing simulations and experimental work to develop new models, metrics, and decision support platforms for architects. LIPID's work aims to ensure occupant comfort and well-being while maintaining energy and material efficiency, with a strong emphasis on health, comfort, perception, and energy aspects of building design.
