Laboratoires/unités intéressés

Each group has one contact person (per default the one who attends the initial meeting)

 

Coordination

Energy Center (Massimiliano Capezzali) - ENAC-DO (Antoine Guillemin)

The Energy center could be the leader of the Umbrella Project if needed.

 

REME-INTER

Philippe Thalmann

We have two models that allow for the simulation of the macro-economic consequences of energy policies or of the development of macroeconomically relevant technologies. By coupling these models with a technology-rich bottom-up model (with merit order of electricity generation for instance), we are able to simulate policies relevant for relatively small segments of the energy market (supply or demand). In addition, we are used to assessing and comparing policy instruments, e.g. incentive taxes, subsidies, tradable permits, etc. Finally, we master the best available methods for estimating the value of buildings and for using such estimates to compare building maintenance or renovation strategies.

 

LASUR-INTER

Emmanuel Ravalet

Effect of user behaviour on energy related aspect.

 

LUTS-INTER

Nikolaos Geroliminis

Study traffic congestion, impact on energy consumption, health and society.

 

BPE-INTER

Edgard Gnansounou

Bioenergy and Energy Planning

 

TSAM-IA

Franz Graf

Think beyond Energy/Green labels and norms. Building construction has to be considered over its lifetime and including its specificity.

 

LIPID-IA

Marilyne Andersen

At the interface between engineers and architects, they can provide expertise in building performance assessment, for both energy and user related topics.

 

LAST-IA

Sophie Lufkin

Sustainable architecture and urban design

 

IBOIS-IIC

Fred Hatt

Wood may be considered as the main keyword in a PNR project, thanks to the consideration of its whole value chain.

 

ICOM-IIC

Christian Louter

The structural glass research group at ICOM is specialized in the application of glass in buildings and facades. With respect to energy performance, we are interested in developing glass (façade) components with optimized environmental and structural performance. In addition, we can contribute to any topic related to glass, glass façades or solar glass applications. http://icom.epfl.ch/glass.

 

DISAL-IIE

Alcherio Martinoli

Intelligent vehicles, distributed estimation and control

APRL-IIE

Satoshi Takahama

Air pollution impacts related to emissions from fuel consumption and electricity generation

 

LMS-IIC

Lyesse Laloui

Geothermal at low and medium depth, especially in built environment in the form of energy geostructures.
