Rural figures of the generalized urban through the filter of sustainable mobilities – FRUGAL
As far as sustainable development is concerned, low density urbanity, because scattered, should not remain irrelevant as urbanization model by using the argument that it would be incompatible with space saving, functions diversity, social groups mix, energy sobriety, biodiversity preservation, agric
Urban Community Gardens and sustainable cities – JASSUR
JASSUR project is intending to study functions, uses, modalities of functioning and potential risks or dangers resulting from associative gardens, in emerging sustainable cities. Those urban associative gardens, which can be referred to as several names, and exist under various status and forms, are
Prediction and Intelligent Control with Simulation and Numerical Optimization – PRECCISION
PRECCISION project aims at developing software components including modeling tools based on building physics, model reduction techniques, identification and inverse modeling methods and optimization algorithms. Some developments will also concern a software front-end in order to provide useful infor
Models Applied to Energy and Ventilation Interoperable and Adaptable – MAEVIA
This project proposes to address the theorical performance degradation linked to the systems implementation and the usage of the building during a simulation applied to the indoor air quality. Unlike the thermal where this is only important, the human behavior and his impacts on conception, realiza
Experiments and modeling for the development of Vacuum Insulation Panels applications – EMMA-PIV
The improvement of the energy efficiency of buildings by renovation is the first approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Interior thermal insulation is hampered by the lack of technically and economically acceptable solutions, because of the amount of work involved for the floors and the los
Ecoconstrucion with Concrete Recycling – ECOREB
Management of construction waste is an important issue for the construction industry because it must meet the requirements of sustainable development and particularly that related to the environmental impact. Reuse of recycled demolition / deconstruction materials can limit the extraction of raw mat
Sustainable renovation and building : the challenge of local materials – PRIMATERRE
There is currently no recommendation to guide the implementation of the primal materials in sustainable constructions or means of measurement recognized and guaranteed performance. This lack leads typically to apply methods and renovation unsuitable and / or prefer other building materials , environ
Experimental follow-up and understanding of indoor airflow in buildings – FLUBAT
The buildings of the future will be, at least, near Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). The significant reduction of energy demand in this type of buildings raises two critical issues: (1) the spatial distribution of low air flows which will be discharged into the occupied zones, (2) the suitability of th
Master the AIR transfers and their impact on the hygrothermal behavior of Wood Houses – MOB-AIR
The aims of MOB-AIR project are to understand, analyse and classify air leak for wood house. These buildings are an important development axis for Civil engineering espacially in individual housing. To achiveve these aims the project expands in several directions : a analysis of professionals feedba
The Skyline : an operational concept for the governance of the urban silhouette in the context of the return of towers in Paris, Lyon, and London – SKYLINE
Owing to their prominence, towers induce major landscape impacts which make them some of the most contested buildings, in a context where landscapes are used to make populations accept new urban projects. Promoting a sustainable city cannot be reduced to the identification and implementation of the
The use of air in optimizing design or renovation of nZEB Buildings – VENISE
The current design methods, mainly based on technical and economic optimization use by use, do not achieve the target optimally. In particular, it appears doubtful to associate a powerful and expensive system for each use with a very low energy consumption. Investment costs of systems optimized use
Multiscale Modeling of Traffic Pollutants in Urban Area – TRAFIPOLLU
The main objective of the TRAFIPOLLU research project is the development of dynamic modeling tools that determine the location of pollutants generated by road traffic in an urban environment. Such tools require variable spatial and temporal scale resolutions (from very fine to coarse). To that purpo
