Against a backdrop of declining biodiversity, it is necessary to consider the best strategies to incorporate ecological challenges into plans and projects. One possible avenue to achieve this is to encourage stakeholders

Revegetation has long been a strategy used by planners to meet operational needs such as soil stabilisation and landscape aesthetics. Today, it is valued for its potential to contribute to restoring biodiversity,

Taking into account indoor air quality in buildings’ life cycle assessments is a means of designing buildings with a reduced impact on occupants.
Learn more
A comparison between the simulation results and the measurements will supplement the previous work concerning the validation of the thermo-aeraulic model, which will then be applied to the study of predictive control
Learn more
The physical characterisation of features of existing building structures will make it possible to consider their conventional reuse and the environmental assessment of conventional reuse via the life-cycle assessment
Learn more
The eco-design of zero-energy buildings involves the identification of optimal solutions, in reasonable calculation times, resulting from the analysis of several performance criteria, more influential parameters and
Learn more
An optimisation procedure will be used to complete the environmental assessment of a block of buildings while reducing economic costs and the overall impact on the environment.

Simulating the daily activities and mobility of people who live in or pass through a neighbourhood makes it possible to better anticipate the economic, social and environmental impacts.

With the growing spread of GPS devices, floating car data can be exploited to explore mobility behaviour at the individual level of the traveller’s choices and at the more general level of relationships between places in
Learn more
The trips generated by a neighbourhood are quantified and characterised using models for forecasting transport demand. The environmental impacts associated with these trips are then estimated using an LCA-type approach

This thesis focuses on the development of the life-cycle assessment of buildings in the Chinese context. It also made it possible to supplement the existing dynamic energy simulation tool by integrating a seasonal
