Sensitivity of calculated solar irradiation to the level of detail: insights from the simulation of four sample buildings in urban areas

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Stéphane Bonjour, Giuseppe Peronato, Jérémie Stoeckli

The assessment of the solar potential in urban areas relies on a geometrical model that can be defined at different levels of detail (LOD). In this work we compare the solar irradiation simulated on the surfaces of four sample buildings, which were modeled ...

Towards a novel prediction model for visual interest in daylit renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir

In spaces where daylight is a primary source of illumination, our visual perception of architecture is largely influenced by the ephemeral composition of sunlight and shadow. To evaluate these perceptual effects, the authors will apply quantitative contras ...

Introduction of a dynamic interpretation of building LCA results: the case of the smart living (lab) building in Fribourg, Switzerland

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

Although a building lifetime is not predictable, it is an essential data in the yearly impact calculation. Yet, in the assessment of the environmental impacts of building the lifetime is considered as a fixed value. The purpose of this study is to introduc ...

A Multi-Criteria Decision-Support Workflow for Early-Stage Neighborhood Design based on Predicted Solar Performance

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault

Despite recent developments, the need for adequate guidance and support in the early decision-making process of urban planners, designers, and architects has recurrently been recognized. Traditional performance assessment methods, which are often based on ...

Studying the Dynamic Relationship between Energy Supply Carbon Content and Building Energy Demand

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza, Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz

Due to different temporal combinations of energy generation processes, the global warming potential (GWP) of energy supply evolves constantly. Despite this, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the energy consumption in buildings are commonly asse ...

Sampling of building surfaces towards an early assessment of BIPV potential in urban contexts

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Giuseppe Peronato

Although the integration of PV systems in the building envelope (BIPV) is an important factor for the acceptability of such installations, current urban-scale solar potential metrics only partially consider this aspect. As part of the definition of BIPV-su ...

Embedding Stochasticity in Building Simulation Through Synthetic Weather Files

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi

This paper presents an attempt to create synthetic weather data for stochastic building simulation. The synthetic data are created entirely from the freely available Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather files using time series models and resampling. T ...

A SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS ON GLARE DETECTION PARAMETERS

Marilyne Andersen, Mandana Sarey Khanie, Jan Wienold

Existing methods for glare-free daylighting design rely on analyses of physically based lighting simulations employing tools such as Radiance. The rendered image is an accumulation of luminance values from a fixed point of view, which creates a basis for l ...

Robustness Assessment Methodology for the Evaluation of Building Performance with a view to Climate Uncertainties

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi, Giorgia Chinazzo

This paper describes a new methodology to assess the robustness of building performance in the long term with a probabilistic approach. The aim is to include uncertainties related to climate change predictions as well as the intrinsic uncertainties in weat ...

Assessing robustness regarding weather uncertainties for energy-efficiency-driven building refurbishments

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi, Giorgia Chinazzo

Conventionally, building energy performance is evaluated through energy simulations using a single input weather file referring to present weather conditions. However, the analysis shown in this study demonstrates the high sensitivity of calculated energy ...

Human perceptions of daylight composition in architecture: a preliminary study to compare quantitative contrast measures with subjective user assessments in HDR renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...

The sensitivity of predicted energy use to urban geometrical factors in various climates

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Parag Rastogi

Urban morphology, including building typology and layout, has a significant influence on the built environment’s access to the sun, which impacts its energy exchange with the environment. This energy exchange is a strong factor in determining the comfort l ...

Review and critical analysis of early-design phase evaluation metrics for the solar potential of neighborhood designs

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Giuseppe Peronato

The energy performance of a building is strongly influenced by its level of solar exposure, in turn affected by the climate, built context, and building morphological characteristics. Since these are typically fixed at the early- design phase, performance ...

Measuring the Dynamics of Contrast & Daylight Variability in Architecture: A Proof of Concept Methodology

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Unlike artificial light sources, which can be calibrated to meet a desired luminous effect regardless of latitude, climate, or time of day, daylight is a dynamic light source, which produces variable shadow patterns and fluctuating levels of brightness. Wh ...
