Carbon budgets at the component scale and their impacts on design choices: the façade as a case study

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi

In accordance with the Paris agreement, the Swiss Climate Strategy (SCS) defines the net-zero target to be reached before 2050, which demands for a thoughtful carbon budget allocation between the different contributors. Ongoing normalization tasks are curr ...

Temporal variations in the primary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of electricity provided by the Swiss grid

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz

It is a frequent practice nowadays to use mean annual conversion factors (CFs) when performing life-cycle assessment (LCA) of processes and products that use electricity supplied by the grid. In this paper, we conduct an hourly assessment of the greenhouse ...

Setting contextual life-cycle objectives in urban design: requirements for a decision-support method

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault

A variety of building labels and norms exist that set evermore-ambitious environmental and energy performance targets. In parallel, a growing number of building performance evaluation tools are adopting the life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to allow ...

Surveying the environmental life-cycle performance assessments: Practice and context at early building design stages

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The international greenhouse gas agreements call for mitigations in the building industry. Thus, the number of scientific publications about life-cycle performance assessment (LCPA) follows an exponential trend since the 2000s. However, previous surveys hi ...

Improving life cycle-based exploration methods by coupling sensitivity analysis and metamodels

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

Exploration methods combine parametric energy assessments and data visualization to support building designers at early design stages. When exploration methods come to Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) assessment, a larger ...

“Our Inherent Desire for Control”: a Case Study of Automation’s Impact on the Perception of Comfort

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Himanshu Verma, Arianna Brambilla, Hamed Seiied Alavi

To investigate the relationship between occupants’ perception of control over building elements and their comfort, we conducted a study where two prototype office rooms were compared: while the first room allowed occupants to open or close the window and c ...

Evaluation of daylighting strategies based on their embodied carbon emissions: a first methodological framework and case study

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi

The impact of daylighting strategies on a building’s carbon emissions have so far been assessed mostly based on the building’s use phase and their resulting operational benefits, overlooking embodied carbon emissions of material production, construction, m ...

On the necessity of improving the environmental impacts of furniture and appliances in net-zero energy buildings

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

There is now clear evidence regarding the extensive use of furniture and appliances in daily human life, but there is less evidence of their impact on the environment. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this study focuses on an assessment of the environm ...

Strategic environmental urban planning - A contextual approach for defining performance goals and informing decision-making

Marilyne Andersen, Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault

Environmental performance objectives in terms of energy consumption and carbon emission targets can be found in various building norms and certifications schemes. These targets are often dependent upon the building program (e.g. office), but independent fr ...
