ACACIA

ACACIA

ACACIA (parAmetric Configurator for A photovoltaiC life cycle Impact Assessment) is a web-based tool that lets you customize solar panels and instantly calculate their environmental impact across 14 key categories, including GWP and human toxicity. Architects, engineers, and planners can now make environmentally-informed decisions for sustainable PV design, all with real-time feedback on their choices.

Solar-EV-Charging

Solar-EV-Charging aims at integrating Electric Vehicles (EVs) to enhance the deployment of Photovoltaic (PV) systems in tropical Singapore. Leveraging a large-scale GPS-based mobile phone dataset, EV mobility patterns across Singapore are predicted, with detailed views zooming into specific communities. Aligning with localized PV energy potentials, EVs can thus be optimally used as time and spatially dynamic batteries.

SolarGAN

Assessing solar irradiance on facades is challenging due to complex urban features. SolarGAN helps by introducing a Deep Learning model that generates stochastic solar irradiance time series from simple fisheye images, offering a faster, data-driven alternative to labor-intensive simulations for robust BIPV energy system design.

Thermal VR

Thermal VR is an innovative system that integrates thermal feedback into virtual reality environments to enhance architectural design processes. By combining heat emitters with VR goggles, the system allows the user to experience both the thermal and visual aspects of architectural designs, offering a more immersive and intuitive evaluation. This approach, tested in virtual office settings, demonstrates the potential for climate-aware design.
