Improving the use of commercial building HVAC systems for electric grid ancillary services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Increasing renewable and distributed electricity generation increases the requirement of grid-scale flexibility, often provided through ancillary services. Buildings can play a significant role in meeting this challenge ... -
Multi-objective optimization for the conceptual design of structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Using computational tools, fast and accurate predictions of building performance are increasingly possible. In parallel, the expectations of a high-performance building have been rising in contemporary architecture, as ... -
Decoding details : integrating physics of assembly in discrete element structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Architecture is intrinsically the coordination of parts to form a whole, and the detail is the critical point where this coordination is resolved. Between technical and perceptual constraints, details are geometrical ...
