Balancing operational and embedded emissions for construction and retrofit of an urban district
The goal of this project is to analyze and balance operational and embedded emissions for the construction of a development project in Bern. You will utilize state of the art modeling tools developed at ETH to analyze and visualize scenarios and compare the results regarding overall carbon emissions
Subject of this Semester Project (MBS, ARCH MSc) or Master Thesis (MBS, MEST) is to analyze and balance operational and embedded emissions for the construction of a new, exemplary mixed- use development project in Bern. The task is to develop different approaches (high-tech, low-tech) using different scenario of urban form, technology, types of construction and mobility solutions in synthesis with architectural design, to compare the results regarding the overall carbon budget. You will utilize state of the art modeling tools developed at ETH to model, analyze and visualize the scenarios. In frequent interaction with the project architects, developers and owners, you will discuss your findings and receive feedback in terms of feasibility and economics, to define viable and realist scenarios. If convincing, your results will contribute directly to the design and realization of the district, which is ongoing.
