Scartezzini (also ass. ed. for Daylighting in Solar Energy Journal) Postdoc: Apiparn Borisuit PhD students: Chantal Basurto, Lenka Maierova, MA (Czech Technical University in Prague) Factsheet 2012/2013 The daylighting and perception research group work on advanced systems for optimal use of daylight in buildings, with the aim to improve user comfort and health, and reduce energy consumption. The group has set up a sophisticated daylighting laboratory with, among other, a scanning sky simulator and an automated heliodon, which allow reproducing with very high precision all daylight conditions that exist around the world. Recently, research related to visual and non-visual aspects of light on human physiology and behavior has been carried out under the supervision of research associate Dr Mirjam Münch, who set up a photobiological laboratory with different light sources for this purpose.

Ladybug + Honeybee What is Ladybug? Ladybug is a free and open source environmental plugin for Grasshopper to help designers create an environmentally-conscious architectural design. The initial step in the design process should be the weather data analysis; a thorough understanding of the weather data will, more likely, lead designers to high-performance design decisions. Ladybug imports standard EnergyPlus Weather files (.EPW) in Grasshopper and provides a variety of 2D and 3D designer-friendly interactive graphics to support the decision-making process during the initial stages of design. What is Honeybee? Honeybee is a free and open source plugin to connect Grasshopper3D to EnergyPlus, Radiance, Daysim and OpenStudio for building energy and daylighting simulation. Current release includes all the daylighting components and let the users to: Ok! Download Ladybug and Honeybee:You can download the components from this link. How can I support it? I know Python. Yes! How is Ladybug and Honeybee licensed?
Green Building Standards and Certification Systems Home > Green Building Standards and Certification Systems by Stephanie Vierra, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD+CSteven Winter Associates, Inc. Last updated: 10-27-2014 Introduction Buildings have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment. The push toward sustainable design increased in the 1990s with the creation of Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), the first green building rating system in the U.K. Green product standards also began to appear in the marketplace in the 1980s and increased in the 1990s. There is now a proliferation of standards, rating, and certification programs in the marketplace to help guide, demonstrate, and document efforts to deliver sustainable, high-performance buildings. Description A. A standard is a set of guidelines and criteria against which a product can be judged. B. A certification is a confirmation that a product meets defined criteria of a standard. ISO-defined Types of Green Product Certification Labels C.
Sustainable Building Alliance Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La Sustainable Building Alliance (SB Alliance[1]) est une initiative internationale sans but lucratif créée en 2008 qui rassemble des centres nationaux de recherche sur le bâtiment, des organismes d'évaluation, et des parties prenantes intéressées par l'évaluation de la qualité environnementale du cadre bâti. Elle regroupe les plus grands certificateurs (LEED), (BREEAM), (DGNB), etc... et est soutenue par l'Unesco Chair for sustainable buildings et par l'initiative bâtiment et construction durable du Programme des Nations unies pour l'environnement (PNUE). Contexte[modifier | modifier le code] Un contexte marqué par internationalisation et l’harmonisation. Le changement climatique ne connaît pas de frontières, et les cadres d’évaluation de la qualité environnementale tendent à s’harmoniser sous la pression combinée du marché et des politiques publiques. Quelques indicateurs nous permettant de corroborer cette affirmation :
