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 ...

Design and implementation of quasi-optical components for the upgrade of the TCV EC-system

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Laurie Porte, Matthieu Toussaint, Florian Ramseyer

The EC-system of the TCV tokamak is progressively being upgraded with the addition of two MW-class dual-frequency gyrotrons (84 and 126 GHz/2s/1MW). In order to connect the two gyrotrons to the existing low field side and top launchers, new waveguide routi ...

Reliability of daylight and energy demand evaluations for decision making at the conceptual design stage of neighborhood design

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

When conducting building performance simulation (BPS) at the early design stage, potential impact on design decisions is the greatest. However, the reliability of evaluations resulting from early design stage BPS models may suffer given that building attri ...

Computational Design of Auxetic Shells

Mina Konakovic Lukovic

Recent advances in material science and digital fabrication provide promising opportunities for product design, mechanical and biomedical engineering, robotics, architecture, art, and science. Engineered materials and personalized fabrication are revolutio ...

Design guidance from a Data-Driven LCA-Based Design method and tool prototype

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

As of 2020, every new building in the European Union will have to reach the nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) performance. However, building nZEB will not be sufficient to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 as required by the last IPCC report: indeed, even n ...

An integrative approach for embodied energy: Towards an LCA-based data-driven design method

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The built environment is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To tackle climate change, global targets have been set for this sector. Although life-cycle assessment (LCA) methods are typically used to evaluate a building project ...

Usability assessment of building performance simulation tools: a pilot study

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza

Due to climate change, the built environment is facing increasingly strict environmental targets. Thus, architects are challenged to design evermore high-performing buildings, a task for which they can no longer depend solely on their experience and intuit ...

Findings from a survey on the current use of life-cycle assessment in building design

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The built environment is facing environmental regulations more ambitious than ever before. In Europe, a law will lead all new buildings to the Nearly Zero-Energy performance level. However, even if a building does not have any energy consumption for its op ...
