Distributed building systems have the potential to increase building performance toward zero energy / zero emission buildings in addition to raising occupant comfort. In this paper, we report on our concept and first prototype for a distributed facade system for power generation, reduction of heat gains and artificial lighting, and the creation of a new type of dynamic architectural expression. Rather...
Due to technical constraints of major incidents related to connecting distributed green sources with the public grid, we propose, in urban areas, a semi-isolated and safety system for self-feeding of buildings equipped with renewable electricity. With an aim of elimination of multiple energy conversions, a direct current (DC) network distribution is considered. The semi-isolated and safety DC network...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
