Post-Occupancy Evaluation for Adaptive Façades

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2018
Post-occupancy evaluation is a valuable method of generating information on the performance of adaptive building façades in relation to users. This evaluation technique involves both procedural methods, such as soft-landing, and empirical measuring ...

What is an adaptive façade? Analysis of Recent Terms and definitions from an international perspective

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2018
Adaptive façades can improve the building’s energy efficiency and economics, through their capability to change their behaviour in real time according to indoor-outdoor parameters, by means of materials, components, and systems.

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment [PDF]

, 2015
This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that the treatment
