Integration of thermal building simulation and VR techniques for sustainable building projects
2013
Déjà présent sur HAL mais sans le fichier pdf; The importance of energy efficiency and integration of advances in building design and VR technology have led this research to focus on thermal simulation results visualized in a virtual environment to optimize building design. This paper combines the principle of integration for thermal calculation and scientific visualization in VR. The method is to use CAD models (extensively used in architectural design) to analyze a building's thermal performance and visualize it, as well as simulating it through VR technology. Interaction between users and objects in a virtual world are certainly through techniques of visualization metaphors. The object o…
Bringing Building Data on Construction Site for Virtual Renovation Works
2013
Déjà sur HAL mais sans le fichier pdf; In this study we aimed at evaluating the benefit of managing a digital mock-up for renovation operations in an ancient building. Focusing on thermal efficiency, the renovation proposal dealt with the great windows. We compared three methodologies dedicated to the project planning and management We first address the issue of the renovation of old buildings and come up with a workflow that connects the digital building to its lifecycle; then we focus on an instance of onsite handling of such data, in an augmented reality context, by elaborating the notion of “BIM in situ” as described in the papers of [3] as well as in [4]. Results reveal that handling B…
