Extended assessment method of a building-related investment relyiong on its economic, environmental and social imapcts. – DECADIESE
Context Today’s theoretical and political trends call for a new sustainable development path in order to make economic growth compliant with environmental and social challenges. The Building sector must feel concerned especially. On the one hand, the building sector stands for around 40% of final e
Accurate, simplified and reproductible Energy and Environnemental balance of buildings – BENEFIS
Analysis of the life cycle is now widely recognized as an appropriate tool for assessing the environmental performances of buildings. However, its common deployment for construction or rehabilitation projects faces many obstacles. The BENEFIS project proposes to address the following key aspects: -
Networked symbioses adapted to sustainability-oriented urban contexts – SYRACUSE
The aim of this programme is to combine the skills of researchers originating from the field of the social sciences and those of engineers working for urban and infrastructure engineering expertise consulting firms, in order to assess the environmental pertinence of a series of technological innov
Smart fenestration systems integrating solar protection and natural ventilation – OVI-SOLVE
Develop and experimentally validate multi-physical models of glazed openings systems to assess their impact on the performance of a building in terms of energy consumption, thermal, visual and acoustic comfort. Define the choices of design of glazed openings systems based on multiple criteria. Sub
multidisciplinary assessment and environmental improvement of neighborhoods – EUREQUA
The EUREQUA project questions the implications of the environmental improvement of urban life at the neighbourhood level. The scientific objectives of the project are: 1) To understand –and model- the interference between different parameters of the physical environment, in connection with certain
How to predict moisture disorders? Which technical solutions to renovate the existing building? – HUMIBATex
Objectives of the project : • Development of a solutions guide about rehabilitation and a description of a validation methodology for adequate solutions of rehabilitation for the non-classified solutions. • Development of a tool to aid in decisions articulating different existing models (indoor cl
Economical Ecological and Durable Earth Construction – TERREDURABLE
Very few tools exists for the calculation and design of cut and embankment taking into account the real behaviour of soils and particularly non saturation. The aim of Terredurable project is to offer new tools that will help to improve the long term reliability and optimize the design (less material
Methods and tools to optimize planing, design, construction and operation of structural covers over transportation infrastructures in urban areas – CANOPEE
Road and railway infrastructures in urban contexts generate visual, acoustic and atmospheric pollution, as well as deep disconnection within urban structures. To compensate for this issue, infrastructure covers are being developped, without any «doctrine« or specific rules to comply with. This rese
Non destructive evaluation of the structures for damage prediction and optimisation of the follow-up – EvaDéOS
This project aims to provide a global methodology for the monitoring of reinforced concrete structures including the phases of evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis and decision-making. The project meets different partners specialized in all these phases around structure managers. The objective of the pr
