The development of novel robotic fabrication technologies in architecture concentrates
largely on integrating stationary industrial-type robots into off-site prefabrication processes …

The planning of future energy policies and energy systems requires an understanding of the
intricate relationships between climate change, technology uptake, population growth and …

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and testing process of an optimised, reinforced
concrete ribbed floor slab fabricated using robotically 3D printed formwork. The design of the …

Because physics-based building models are difficult to obtain as each building is individual,
there is an increasing interest in generating models suitable for building MPC directly from …

Abstract Model Predictive Control in buildings can significantly reduce their energy
consumption. The cost and effort necessary for creating and maintaining first principle …

This paper reports on the integrated computational design, engineering and construction of
the concrete, rib-stiffened funicular floors of the HiLo research & innovation unit, built on the …

Achieving cost-effective hydrogen production is key to facilitating the use of hydrogen as an
alternative to fossil fuels. This study adopts a mixed integer linear programming approach to …

Due to their thermal inertia, buildings equipped with electric heating and cooling systems
can help to stabilize the electricity grid by shifting their load in time, and can thus facilitate …

Energy demand of buildings forms a key component of energy system analyses. To integrate
building energy demand into energy system models, detailed simulation of every single …

With the increased amount of volatile renewable energy sources connected to the electricity
grid, and the phase-out of fossil fuel based power plants, there is an increased need for …
