Methods for exploiting useful resources of a bioclimatic building in its built environment – MERUBBI
In order to lower the buildings' share in energy consumption in developed countries and their environmental impact, two objectives have been identified: improving building energy performance and densifying urban areas. But these two objectives sometimes turn out to be in conflict: a very efficient b
Methodological tools for energy performance guarantee – OMEGA
The French government has decided on demanding goals for the reduction of energy consumptions and greenhouse gases emission, which ask for a fast generalization of high performance buildings, either newly built or refurbished. These high performance new constructions or refurbishments can only scal
Bioterra : control of the microbial proliferation on earth bio-based products for healthy and sustainable buildings – BIOTERRA
Since few years, there is a renewed interest in the use of earth construction materials inside the buildings because it plays a role in regulating natural moisture and improves the comfort of habitats. It is common to strengthen and to lighten these earth materials by adding plant fibers or aggregat
applied Modeling and urbAn Planning laws: Urban Climate and Energy – MApUCE
The urban planning exercise is an appropriate framework for the integration of energy and climate issues in local public policy. However, if it provides a framework, it does not support its implementation, and is limited to a territory. To facilitate this implementation, the project aims to integrat
Energy Integration of Systems and building Envelops : Development of a methodology and a numerical tool for optimizing the global performance – INTENSE
The buildings of the future will be energy producers and therefore will aim to maximize the value of different renewable sources to meet the energy needs regarding the building-related industry and the occupant’s comfort. Management of the various energy sources and storage of the produced energy, c
Multi-physical and interactive co-simulation – COSIMPHI
To realize a tool cosimulation platform, scientific locks/questions has to be solve: with the aim to facilitate the modeling of a building during the design phase, how to synthesize the data sets expected by each software to avoid information re-entry, avoid redundant information (eg volume of a ro
Decision making for designing sustainable urban logistics solutions – ANNONA
Previous studies on the issues related to UFT have given rise to a base of knowledge on the best practices in urban logistics. This base does nonetheless remain rather unfocused and fragmented to date. As a consequence, designing relevant urban logistic solutions remains a somewhat complex exercise
Dynamic Urban Systems – SUD
The consumption of energy is expected to increase by 2030 and 2050 (according to baseline projections incorporating current trends) due to two combined factors. On one hand, the population growth anticipated during this period will result in an increase in energy consumption and demand.. On the othe
