Towards integrated decision support for sustainable urban planning

Darren Robinson

Over half of the global population is now living within urban settlements in which some three quarters of global resource consumption takes place. The environmental consequences of this urbanisation are both profound and increasing. It is thus important th ...

On the behaviour and adaptation of office occupants

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

During the warm summer of 2006 a comprehensive longitudinal field survey of the adaptive actions of occupants, their thermal satisfaction and the coincident environmental conditions was conducted in eight Swiss office buildings. We have applied logistic re ...

A generalised stochastic model for the simulation of occupant presence

Nicolas Morel, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

This paper describes an algorithm for the simulation of occupant presence, to be later used as an input for future occupant behaviour models within building simulation tools. By considering occupant presence as an inhomogeneous Markov chain interrupted by ...

Towards comprehensive simulation and optimisation for more sustainable urban design

André Gabriel Kostro, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

In this paper we discuss progress that has been made in modelling of urban resource flows to support urban designers to optimise the sustainability of their design and planning proposals, In particular we consider models of urban energy demand and more gen ...

Towards comprehensive simulation and optimisation for more sustainable urban design

André Gabriel Kostro, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

In this paper we discuss progress that has been made in modelling of urban resource flows to support urban designers to optimise the sustainability of their design and planning proposals. In particular we consider models of (i) resource availability, (ii)e ...

An integrated adaptive model for overheating risk prediction

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on the results from a field survey campaign, this article describes three new developments which have been integrated to provide a comprehensive basis for the evaluation of overheating risk in offices. Firstly, a set of logistic regression equations ...

Model to predict overheating risk based on an electrical capacitor analogy

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

It is important for building designers to be able to judge if a space is likely to overheat, whether to determine if HVAC plant is required or to design this out by passive means. To this end several overheating risk criteria have recently been published. ...

An adaptive model of overheating risk

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on analogy between the charging and discharging of humans' tolerance to overheating stimuli and that of charge in an electrical capacitor, this paper proposes a simple mathematical model for predicting overheating risk given a set of measured / simul ...

Optimisation de la forme urbaine pour une meilleure utilisation de l'énergie solaire

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson

Ce travail prend son inspiration d’un projet qui a pour objectifs la prédiction et l’optimisation de la performance environnementale de districts urbains. L’optimisation passe par la mise en oeuvre d’Algorithmes Evolutionnaires (EA) dont le but est de trou ...

On the Sensitivity of Building Performance to the Urban Heat Island Effect

Alain Clappier, Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed

Current practice in building simulation is to use historic climate data which has been measured in rural locations. However, numerous measurement programs have demonstrated that the urbanrural temperature difference can be of several degrees Kelvin, with c ...

Optimisation of Buildings Daylight Availability

Marylène Montavon, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson

Many researchers have the goal of improving buildings daylight availability in order to decrease the HVAC energy intake. Indeed by achieving/identifying sustainable urban forms and their design concepts, the benefits of the solar radiation can be of threef ...

Urban District Energy Futures: A Dynamic Material Flow Analysis (MFA) Model

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Nataliya Filchakova

With more than half the world population now urbanised, urban metabolism – defined as the throughput and transformation of material and energy flows to sustain human life in urban settlements – is responsible for consuming the majority of global resources ...

Towards an evolutionary model of city sustainability

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed, Nataliya Filchakova

In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...

Quo vadis thermodynamics and the city: a critical review of applications of thermodynamic methods to urban systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Nataliya Filchakova

Cities are complex dynamic entities. From a thermodynamic perspective, they represent open systems, constantly importing and exporting energy and matter across their boundaries; the output invariably being less ordered due to irreversible internal processe ...

SUNtool - A new modelling paradigm for simulating and optimising urban sustainability

Nicolas Morel, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

This paper describes the development and application of a new unique tool to support designers to optimise the sustainability of urban neighbourhoods (SUNtool). In this the paper introduces (i) the software architecture, (ii) the integrated solver and rela ...
