When the safest solution is unacceptable

description: Building physical problems are often the reason for renovations of dwellings. Although methods to rectify the problems are available, the building owners are often unwilling to accept the safest solutions for economical reasons. Practitioners are therefore forced to develop alternative solutions, which are cheaper but only lessens the problem or are less robust in more extreme situations.

When alternative renovation solutions are considered, building simulation tools are often used to predict how the different solutions will work. However, depending on the chosen conditions, simulations can be manipulated to show, that almost any solution will work. This mimics the real world; in dwellings one apartment can have a serious mould problem, while another similar apartment is dry, warm and healthy. The reason is often different user behaviour. The dilemma of the practitioner is that some solutions will be sufficient for many users, but some users need safer solutions, which often are more expensive. It is therefore important to explain to the building owner that with the safe solution user behaviour become less important; he buys robustness.

Therefore, when new solutions for renovation are considered, the degree of robustness must be considered, and then it is up to the building owner to decide which solution he can afford. The method emphasizes the importance of educating building users, and the safest solution can be seen as insurance, if the education fails.

The paper presents examples of renovations based on building physical problems where alternative, less robust solutions have been chosen, based on simulations and tested on pilot projects. Ways to present robustness and to choose pilot projects are also shown.

description: Today, atomic simulations of biological systems and materials can reach unprecedented scales, providing in-depth insight into the structural and dynamic properties of a system of particles governed by classical equations of motion. In two main projects, the studies presented in this dissertation employ molecular dynamics simulations to study the structural and physical properties of large-scale biological and chemical complexes over microsecond timescales. (i) In the first project, the macromolecular assembly and functional flexibility of the tight junctions claudins are studied. Tight junctions mediate the epithelial transport and are composed of a network of claudin channels that seal the space between two adjacent cells and control the transport of water and small molecules. Claudins polymerize to form a network of linear strands in the cell membrane that associates laterally with a similar network in adjoining cells. The architecture of claudin assemblies is flexible and therefore enables tight junctions to maintain their barrier function throughout cellular movements and tissue rearrangements. However, this flexibility’s molecular basis remains elusive. This thesis develops an atomic model of claudin-15 strands in two parallel lipid membranes at sub-micrometer length ranges. Microseconds-long molecular dynamic simulations of claudin-15 strands showcase the strands’ flexible nature and elucidate their flexibility’s molecular nature. Furthermore, to explain the subtype-specific morphology of claudin strands, the equilibrium behavior of wild-type and mutant claudin-15 strands are compared, validating the putative model of strand flexibility, as observed in simulation trajectories. (ii) The second project in this thesis investigates the phase behavior of ternary ionic liquid electrolyte mixtures. The performance and stability of battery electrolytes are, in part, the obstacles hindering the widespread usage of advanced and renewable energy storage systems, namely, lithium batteries. Recently, ternary mixtures of ionic liquid electrolytes have shown promising performance in Li-ion and Li-air batteries. However, the large-scale organization of the electrolyte mixture—beyond the local heterogeneities—that underpins the system’s dynamic properties is unexplored. In this thesis, microseconds-long molecular dynamics simulations reveal the formation of ion-enriched macrodomains in a ternary mixture of ionic liquid, organic solvent, and Li salts. Moreover, the mixtures’ phase behavior is examined in a confined space, similar to a cell battery configuration. The simulation trajectories elucidate the molecular basis of electrolytes’ phase separation, leading to better battery performance.

description: Focus on the air tightness of buildings has so far mainly been on small domestic houses, such as single-family houses. This has not only reduced the energy demand for new buildings, but has also improved the quality of the construction. By testing the air tightness, and thereby testing the care of which the building was put together. Contractors have focused on learning by there mistakes, this has led to the fact that air tightness in domestic single family houses is no longer a problem.

In regard to large buildings (>1500 m2), air leakage testing are not performed during construction, because buildings have to be divided into smaller volumes in order to test with the conventional equipment. In practice this has shown to be very difficult, i.e. in buildings with spacious rooms like atriums.

As an alternative a method, which is new in Denmark, where several smaller air moving units (or blowerdoors) are combined to one big virtual blowerdoor, making it possible to test the total air tightness of large buildings.
Two tests runs with this method on different buildings 3500 m2 and 9900 m2 (65000 m3) showed that the overall air leakage of the building could be determined and air leaks located in the same way as for small buildings.

This paper describes the method and its practical application on new and old buildings; how the method can be used to improve the air tightness of new buildings and for investigations of air leaks in the existing building stock.
The paper will further discus the relevance of having the same demand for air tightness for both large and small buildings.

description: This research intended to evaluate thermal and light performance of transparent solar protections using measurements in full scale test cells, located in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Surface (window and shading device) and internal air temperatures were compared for six test cells. One of them was unprotected for reference purposes, another was obstructed with a metallic shading device and the other four had transparent glass horizontal and vertical shades installed. For light performance evaluation were measured the daylight in the center of each test cell and outside. Four different types of glass with different optical properties were selected: float clear glass, mini-boreal printed glass, float blue glass and metallic silver reflective glass. The results of the thermal appraisal showed that silver reflective glass, float blue and printed glass shadings achieved similar performance, not very different to the ones obtained for the metallic shading device. Therefore the float clear glass shading did not attain a satisfactory result. Regarding the light performance of the glasses shading devices it was concluded that printed glass shadings presents very good results and silver reflective glass reduced the daylight inside the test cell.

description: The cavity in active facades can be mechanically or naturally ventilated, or by a combination of both, referred to as hybrid. The airflow in mechanically ventilated active envelopes is generally assumed to be more controllable than in naturally ventilated variants. However, due to the presence of blinds and asymmetric inlet or outlet openings, simplified methods are often not able to predict the flow patterns in the cavity. A better understanding of the behaviour of active facades is necessary to be able to predict the performance of active facades in practice. In this paper, a set of measurements and simulations is reported of low-speed airflow patterns in a mechanically ventilated active facade with and without blinds.

description: Excess moisture in concrete floors often impose restraints on the building process due to lengthy and costly drying operations. Especially during the winter season. Results from a recent Danish R&D project, financed by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, and carried out in a cooperation between Danish Technological Institute and the the Danish concrete industry showed how a proper choice of concrete quality may benefit both the building process and the environment. The paper describes the results from this work.

Self-desiccating concrete is often defined as w/c below say 0,4 but the article will give a broader definition of this together with new test data to support the recommendation of self-desiccating concrete for certain applications.

The benefits are several: Firstly, the drying process is speeded up as self-desiccation occur within the whole concrete volume and not just from the surface. Secondly, energy is saved on the building sites due to less need for ventilation, heating etc. Thirdly, the indoor climate of the houses is generally improved when excess moisture is removed in a more effective manner.

Formative Fugues: Conceptualizing Data-Driven Formative Feedback for Open-Ended Learning Environments
Creators: name: Mallavarapu, Aditi Krishna

Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Interactive digital environments provide learners with opportunities to collaboratively explore complex, open-ended problem spaces.To support learners’ exploration of complex problems, I reconceptualized the nature of formative feedback for open-ended complex learning environments, shifting the focus from learner centric to problem-space centric feedback. This feedback is analogous to “fugues” (short reusable exploration paths, explaining semantics of actions) as defined by Reitman (1965) for musical compositions (Mallavarapu et al., 2020). Traditional techniques for generating formative feedback don’t scale well to environments that have a multiplicity of possible (a) goals, (b) solution strategies, and (c) solution strategy paths (Le et al., 2013). By bootstrapping on the explorations of prior learners, I propose a novel data-driven approach to produce situationally relevant formative feedback for learners, formative fugues, that is easily extendable - the formative feedback library grows as learners interact. And because the emphasis is on the problem space rather than an individual learner’s cognition, this method readily supports collaborative problem solving. To generate this feedback, the approach employs causal modelling to learn micro-level patterns and then uses a pattern matching algorithm to mine these patterns, exposing exploration paths of prior learners who have used the learning environment (data collected under IRB approved protocol). The formative fugues do not presume to know the goals of the learner, but have the potential to help the learners understand what choices and events led to the current state of the problem space, and what paths forward are possible. When computational outputs are intertwined with human practices, it is important to attend to the intertwined dependencies by engaging with the stakeholders to validate the interpretability and utility of the outputs. Specifically I (1) engage a domain expert to discern the validity of the information being presented (the what), and (2) engage a pedagogical expert to envision how the provided information intersects with practice (the how). These sessions, (1) helped identify the alignment of the fugues with the educational goals of the learning environment, (2) commented on the interpretability of the information by identifying practices afforded by fugues and (3) suggested recommendations for delivery of the fugues.
Exergy balancing on community level for enhanced sustainable energy performance

Year: 2008

description: At the time being energy efficiency optimisation is majorily focussed on the building physics and technical systems of single buildings. While the energy performance that can be achieved in the building focus is determined by aspects as technological feasibility, economical potential of the owner and individual know-how of planners, the realisation of energy efficiency potentials on a larger scale such as on estate or community level faces decisive additional obstacles mainly on technological and judicial level. Nevertheless the potential for energy savings is significantly higher taking into account a linkage between several units of use. Exergy balancing has the potential of making possible efficiency relationships between supply and demand sides visible and therewith calculable. In a pilot project in Kassel this approach is being traced, using exergy analysis for the design of a low-energy, low-exergy housing estate in an existing community structure. The goal is to supply all buildings on the site with lowexergy energy sources, implying the optimised energetic building design and optimised supply structure including utilisation of the district heating return line. For the pilot all planning aspects starting from legal and economic aspects to technological and communication aspects are covered. The goal is to supply a general guideline on calculation procedures, design and communication strategies and clarify legal questions and boundary conditions for the development of similar projects. At the Nordic Symposium of Building Physics an overview on the project will be given, stating the specific situation as well as generalizable approaches.

Inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions at √s = 5 TeV with the CMS detector
Creators: name: Laflotte, Ian Wylde
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Quarks and gluons (partons) compose the protons and neutrons (nucleons) around us, and obey the laws of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions, collimated showers of final-state particles called jets are observed, having been produced when partons within incident nucleons exchange a large amount of momentum, break free from the parent nucleons, and undergo showering and hadronization. The cross section of inclusive jet production σjet, is predictable by perturbative QCD (pQCD), but comparisons with measurements are non-trivial due to detector effects. Unfolding σjet for such effects is possible, utilizing the CMS detector response and a pQCD prediction as a prior distribution. When σjet is measured in pp collisions, it can help study the gluon parton distribution function (PDF) of the proton, extract the strong coupling constant alphaS, and act as a reference measurement for pPb/PbPb analyses. In this thesis, σjet for anti-kT particle flow jets with radius parameter R = 0.4 is measured as a dual differential in jet transverse momentum and rapidity. Two different jet-triggered pp datasets, recorded in 2015 at √s = 5 are used, having intergrated luminosities of 27.4 pb-1. Results are found to be highly compatible with higher order pQCD calculations for all utilized scale-choices and PDFs.

Solar Energy Technologies for More Efficient Built Environment – Its Assessment and Contribution to Buildings´ Energy Performance

description: Analyses of the exergy flows are common for the optimization of many thermodynamic systems since half of last century. Several international ongoing research projects try to extend this approach to the building sector, in order to develop more efficient buildings and supply structures by reducing the exergy losses in each step of the buildings´ energy supply chain.
Most of the energy in the building sector is used for heating and cooling purposes, i.e. to maintain constant room temperatures of around 20°C. Because of the low temperature level, the actual demand for exergy in space heating and cooling applications is low. In turn, solar radiation is undisputedly a high quality source, and thus high exergy losses arise when solar energy based technologies are used to cover a low exergy demand. Following, solar energy based technologies seem to be unsuitable to cover these demands from an exergy perspective. This evaluation schema however, is physically inconsistent with the one used for the assessment of any other energy sources.
In the paper a new assessment framework for technologies making a direct use of solar radiation is presented. Several solar-based technologies for heating and cooling of buildings are analysed using the proposed framework, and compared to the results obtained using the conventional assessment approach. From the results of the analysis the suitability of these technologies is shown, and first estimations on the contribution of these technologies for increasing the energy and exergy performance of buildings are derived.

Flux Reconstruction Discontinuous Spectral Element Method for Compressible Turbulent Flows
Creators: name: Peyvan, Ahmad
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This project develops a high-order flux reconstruction discontinuous spectral element method (FRDSEM) solver capable of performing large-scale parallel computation of multicomponent compressible turbulent flows. The scope of this project can be broken down into three stages. First, an existing three-dimensional (3D) code is optimized and scaled up to perform large-scale simulations on the order of billions of solution points. The new 3D solver code demonstrates high efficiency in parallel computations and is successfully executed on approximately 130,000 cores. For the next stage, we develop a high-order numerical scheme that performs superior to the current discontinuous spectral element method (DSEM) code to simulate single-component compressible turbulent flows. A flux reconstruction approach is implemented in the DSEM framework to improve the accuracy and stability of numerical simulations. A new class of correction functions is derived based on a weighted orthogonality condition, leading to Jacobi correction functions' introduction. Jacobi correction functions can construct a broad range of other high-order numerical schemes with various numerical characteristics, such as high numerical dissipation to suppress aliasing-driven errors, super accuracy, and solution boundedness in shock prediction. Performing the under-resolved simulation of Taylor-Green vortex flow demonstrates that the Jacobi correction functions can remove aliasing errors leading to an accurate prediction of the decay rate of turbulent kinetic energy. The third stage involves adapting the FRDSEM to multicomponent flow simulation. The nodal FRDSEM is improved to avoid pressure and velocity oscillations from material interfaces in the solution of multicomponent compressible flows. A novel double flux method is tailored to account for variations in the ratio of the specific heats at material interfaces. The double flux model is combined with a conservative method of calculating the convective flux function to avoid energy conservation error at shock fronts. Local artificial diffusion (LAD) terms are also introduced for capturing sharp discontinuities. The new approach maintains the high convergence rate of the FRDSEM scheme at the smooth regions of the solution while removing Gibbs' oscillations. The scheme enables the use of high polynomial orders along with a high CFL number compared to an existing DG scheme.

description: ABSTRACT Increasing urbanization and high population density have resulted in an increase in the impervious areas in the cities. This results in flooding and overloading of existing drainage systems. Implementing structural measures for controlling urban flooding are extremely difficult due to the space constraints in densely populated cities in developing countries. An alternative cost effective solution can be achieved by implementing a control strategy for the existing control structures at different locations in the drainage network. In this direction, a detention tank in the drainage system can be effectively used for storing excess water during high intensity rainfall and subsequently releasing it to the downstream drainage channel using a flow control mechanism, to optimize the capacity of the drainage system. With this in view, an effort has been made to develop a dynamic numerical model, which incorporates the influence of controller units for the operation of gates of detention tank in order to control the flow. The response characteristics of the system in time and frequency domain have been discussed in this paper. The validity of the developed model has been demonstrated by simulating it for a catchment near Mumbai, India. The results were analyzed to emphasis its importance in field application.

description: This paper presents a comparative study three numerical schemes such as Linear, Quadratic and Quadratic-Linear scheme for the fractional integro-differential equations defined in terms of the Caputo fractional derivatives. The error estimates of the respective approximations are also established. Numerical tests of the discussed schemes show that all schemes work well, and when the number of terms approximating the solution are increased, the desired solution is achieved. The accuracy of the numerical schemes with respect to the step size h is analyzed and illustrated through various tables. Finally, comparative performances of the schemes are discussed.

description: Smart city is a concept that is centered around leveraging advancements in technology to solve urban problems. Despite its popularity, many knowledge gaps exist around the concept. The goal of this dissertation is to enhance the understanding of the smart city concept and its implementation practices. Specifically, this dissertation addresses three challenges: (1) the lack of coherent structure in smart city research, (2) the dearth of decision-making tools, and (3) data heterogeneity issues in smart city development. Chapter 1 introduces the dissertation. Chapter 2 tackles the first challenge by analyzing the smart city literature in the context of urban infrastructure. Information related to the studies’ objective(s) are encoded in the form of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) that are later used to identify dominant research themes. The methodology can help researchers infer trends across KGs. In response to the second challenge, Chapter 3 proposes a conceptual model to guide the decision-making process. After identifying the issues associated with the decision-making process in smart city development, the conceptual model of Urban Intelligence that adopts a system-of-systems view is developed and detailed. The model can aid decision-makers/policy makers to assess the effectiveness of solutions to prioritize them. Chapter 4 follows the line of research that uses novel sources of data to identify cities with similar structural properties. Specifically, it analyzes and compares the topological and geometric road network properties of 80 world cities. The analysis yields five clusters of cities; for example, one cluster displays more irregular street patterns whereas another cluster shows more orthogonal street patterns (90 and 180-degree). This approach can help policy makers to study smart city policies implemented in cities that belong to their cluster and determine whether a similar solution could be applied to their city. Finally, Chapter 5 addresses the issue of data heterogeneity. Typically, data from multiple sources are used in parallel to make informed decisions; however, combing those data often poses problems. Chapter 5 studies the challenges encountered in converting Computer Aided Design (CAD) data (a drawing format often used to digitally map infrastructure) to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) data (a more common mapping format) and proposes the C2G conversion framework. The C2G framework can guide anyone with a basic knowledge of CAD and GIS to convert data rapidly with minimal information loss. In summary, while the smart city concept shows promise, many challenges remain. This dissertation identifies several challenges that hamper progress in both smart city research and development, and proposes methodologies to address them, bringing us closer to the smart city.
Consciousness survey towards promotion of wide use of rainwater infiltration facilities

subject: Public-private partnership

description: In order to promote the wide use of the infiltration facilities introduced into individual houses, the consciousness survey was done by means of the questionnaire intended for the visitors at the housing exhibition, the member of civic organizations on the activity for river improvement, citizens who installed the facilities in their own houses and the sewer work contractors who deal with the drainage piping work. This paper is a report on the analysis of the questionnaire. The target of this consciousness survey was to grasp the reason why the ordinary people do not introduce infiltration facilities into their houses. The contents of questionnaires were carefully considered to find out the disincentives for the promotion. About 3000 people were sampled as the object of questionnaire and the effective number of respondent was about 1000. Responsed answers were analyzed and it was realized that the understanding of citizens about infiltration facility is not enough. At the same time, it was understood that the incentive for the people who install the facilities will be effective for the promotion. It was also understood that the cooperation with the sewer work contractor is necessary.

description: The sustainability of the existing urban water management systems in the Netherlands can be improved significantly. This paper deals with investigating the feasibility of other concepts for drainage and water supply, in order to achieve more sustainable urban water systems in the future. To start with, a number of features of the urban water system and water supply, which can be regarded as unsustainable, will be evaluated. Secondly, the feasibility of a potential future water system concept, \342\200\231the closed city\342\200\231, is discussed. The closed city uses local rainfall as the only source of water; no external water supply is needed for such a city. By means of a \342\200\230connected reservoir model\342\200\231 water availability is evaluated for various climatic situations. Water quality is discussed, using pollution sources, balance principles and requirements of the water system as starting points to reach the Maximum Allowable Risk standards for oxygen concentration. Finally, guidelines for the design of \342\200\230closed cities\342\200\231 are presented, illustrating (1) the consequences of the new concept and (2) the transitions required to implement such a new concept.

description: We analyze the sovereign bond issuance data of eight major emerging markets (EMs) - Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and Turkey from 1970 to 2018. Our analysis suggests that (i) EM local currency bonds tend to be smaller in size, shorter in maturity, or lower in coupon rate than foreign currency bonds; (ii) EMs are more likely to issue local-currency sovereign bonds if their currencies appreciated before the global financial crisis of 2008 (GFC); (iii) inflation-targeting monetary policy increases the likelihood of issuing local-currency debt before GFC but not after; and (iv) EMs that offer higher sovereign yields are more likely to issue local-currency bonds after GFC. Future data will allow us to test and identify structural changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

description: BMPs aim to reduce the flow of water and pollutants discharged by cities during rainy periods. Detention and/or infiltration trenches are one of the techniques that can be used. Lack of knowledge as to the hydraulic functioning of such facilities still hinders their use. The objective of the present research programme, carried out jointly by URGC, SOGEA Rhone-Alpes and Greater Lyon, is to optimise trench design. The project is mainly based on an experimental study to test various types of trench. The present paper describes the experimental system used to monitor the hydraulic performance of detention or infiltration trenches. The experimental apparatus is independent of rainfall and can be operated in fully controlled conditions. Trenches are modelled using a storage model. The first sets of data show that this kind of model seems to give good results.
