Towards an evolutionary model of city sustainability

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Jérôme Henri Kämpf

In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...

A PARTIAL DOUBLE BLIND EVALUATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE WINDOW OPENING MODEL

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

One of the key sources of uncertainty in building simulation relates to the presence and behaviour of occupants. Fortunately, several academic groups have been working to address this uncertainty, particularly in relation to the use of windows and the corr ...

On the Sensitivity of Building Performance to the Urban Heat Island Effect

Darren Robinson, Alain Clappier

Current practice in building simulation is to use historic climate data which has been measured in rural locations. However, numerous measurement programs have demonstrated that the urbanrural temperature difference can be of several degrees Kelvin, with c ...

On the behaviour and adaptation of office occupants

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

During the warm summer of 2006 a comprehensive longitudinal field survey of the adaptive actions of occupants, their thermal satisfaction and the coincident environmental conditions was conducted in eight Swiss office buildings. We have applied logistic re ...

Adaptive actions on shading devices in response to local visual stimuli

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on 6 years of continuous measurements, we have analysed in detail the occupancy, thermal and visual parameters influencing actions on shading devices in order to derive an accurate model for the prediction of their usage in office buildings. This art ...

Towards integrated decision support for sustainable urban planning

Darren Robinson

Over half of the global population is now living within urban settlements in which some three quarters of global resource consumption takes place. The environmental consequences of this urbanisation are both profound and increasing. It is thus important th ...

Optimisation de la forme urbaine pour une meilleure utilisation de l'énergie solaire

Darren Robinson, Jérôme Henri Kämpf

Ce travail prend son inspiration d’un projet qui a pour objectifs la prédiction et l’optimisation de la performance environnementale de districts urbains. L’optimisation passe par la mise en oeuvre d’Algorithmes Evolutionnaires (EA) dont le but est de trou ...
