The Canopy Pavilion: A lightweight shading structure using a deployable auxetic linkage membrane

Mark Pauly, Dieter Dietz, Florin Isvoranu, Arthur François Blanc, Tian Chen, Etienne Bouleau

We present the Canopy Pavilion, a lightweight shading structure for a social gathering space. The shading surface is realized as a tensioned auxetic linkage membrane, composed of two double-curved anticlastic layers separated by a compression pole. The mem ...

Ray-tracing MRT and human thermophysiology model combination for local discomfort prediction

Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida

Thermal comfort and discomfort based on the local sensation of different body parts have been an important development in thermal comfort studies from the past decade. The human thermophysiology model can be a handy tool to predict local skin and core temp ...

A critical comparison of methods to estimate solar rooftop photovoltaic potential in Switzerland

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

To understand the opportunities and challenges of large shares of solar photovoltaics (PV) in our electricity mix, various large-scale studies of PV potential on building roofs have been conducted in recent years. The use of different datasets, methods and ...

Automated ‘Eye-sight’ Venetian blinds based on an embedded photometric device with real-time daylighting computing

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...

Influence of photovoltaic panel orientation on modern energy systems in residential buildings

Luise Middelhauve

The aim of modern energy systems is to be independent of fossil fuels and to minimize their impact on the environment. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are a common solution for renewable electric energy generation, but the volatility caused by the fluctuation of ...

Occupants’ behaviour in energy simulation tools: lessons from a field monitoring campaign regarding lighting and shading control

Marilyne Andersen

Previous studies have shown that the choice of the behavioural model for the control of lighting and shading devices has important implications in the energy performance assessment of office buildings and directly influences the comparison of design altern ...

Occupants interaction with electric lighting and shading systems in real single-occupied offices: Results from a monitoring campaign

Marilyne Andersen

This study presents the results of a monitoring campaign aiming to further our understanding of occupants' behavior regarding the manual control of electric lighting in combination with shading control. It was performed on eight single-occupied offices in ...

Influence of shading control patterns on the energy assessment of office spaces

Marilyne Andersen

This work reviews existing models of control patterns for occupant-shading interactions in office buildings, and studies their influence in terms of energy demand when comparing transparent façade alternatives. It starts by establishing a review of visual ...

Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Locally Textured Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Appu Shaji, Aydin Varol

Most recent approaches to monocular non-rigid 3D shape recovery rely on exploiting point correspondences and work best when the whole surface is well-textured. The alternative is to rely either on contours or shading information, which has only been demons ...

Resolving Ambiguities in Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Aydin Varol

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of recovering 3D shapes of deformable surfaces from a single camera. This problem is known to be ill-posed as for a given 2D input image there exist many 3D shapes that give visually identical projections. We present ...
