Energy and environment optimisation

Dynamic thermal simulation and life-cycle assessment are decision support tools that comprehensively assess the environmental performance of a building or neighbourhood project and guide its design in order to reduce the environmental impacts while controlling costs and taking account of user needs. These tools were designed by researchers from MINES ParisTech and are currently improved, enhanced and coupled with other models, such as the PowerRoad® model from Eurovia for positive-energy roads or the Amapola model which exploits data from smart sensors in a home.
