BioZero - Designing Nature-inspired Net-zero Building
Jankovic, Ljubomir; Carta, Silvio (2021-07-08)This article introduces BioZero, a nature-inspired near-zero building proposed for Quay St, Brooklyn, New York. The building is designed for the maximum use of daylight and natural ventilation. This is the result of its ... -
Building a better world
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2022-02-20) -
Cellular Automata Simulation of Three-dimensional Building Heat Loss
Bharadwaj, Purvesh; Jankovic, Ljubomir (International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)Conventional design development and simulation methods provide a top-down approach towards exploration of design solutions. This research identifies this limitation and presents a bottom-up approach framework inspired by ... -
Cumulative Embodied and Operational Emissions of Retrofit in Birmingham Zero Carbon House
Jankovic, Ljubomir; Christophers, John (2022-07-08)Birmingham Zero Carbon House was retrofitted and extended from an 1840 end of terrace house to an award-winning house with negative operational emissions, receiving a RIBA Award for Architecture in 2010. In addition to a ... -
Cumulative embodied and operational emissions of retrofit in Birmingham Zero Carbon House
Christophers, John; Jankovic, Ljubomir (2021-07-13)The paper introduces the construction of the retrofit in the Birmingham Zero Carbon House, highlighting very low and radically low embodied carbo materials used in the build and retrofit of the original 170 years old house. ... -
Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2019-11-11)The staggering complexity of urban environment and long timescales in the causal mechanisms prevent designers to fully understand the implications of their design interventions. In order to investigate these causal mechanisms ... -
Designing Resilience of the Built Environment to Extreme Weather Events
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2018-01-09)Built environment comprises of a multitude of complex networks of buildings and processes in and between buildings. The paper looks at resilience design on three different levels: the building, the site, and the region. ... -
Dynamics of virtual urban networks: transactions, connections, urban memory, resilience potential, robustness and edge of collapse
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2021-07-13)A virtual urban network is a network of communications and transactions that is overlaid on the physical urban assemblage. Producers and consumers in a physical urban environment make connections on the basis of product ... -
Editorial: Pathways to resilient zero carbon cities
Jankovic, Ljubomir; Carta, Silvio (2022-08-15) -
Experiments with Self-Organised Simulation of Movement of Infectious Aerosols in Buildings
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2020-06-25)The ultimate aim of sustainability in buildings gained an additional new dimension as the start of the year 2020 saw a rapid worldwide spread of the infectious disease caused by a coronavirus named COVID-19. There is ... -
How can UK housing projects be brought in line with net-zero carbon emission targets?
Jankovic, Ljubomir; Bharadwaj, Purvesh; Carta, Silvio (2021-11-29)Numerous local authorities are committed to constructing buildings to net-zero carbon emissions performance, and have declared carbon emergency, striving to reach carbon neutrality well before 2050. However, buildings in ... -
How can UK Housing Projects be Brought in Line With Net-zero Carbon Emission Targets? - Presentation
Bharadwaj, Purvesh; Jankovic, Ljubomir; Carta, Silvio (2021-07-13)Numerous local authorities are committed to constructing buildings to net-zero carbon emissions performance, and have declared carbon emergency, striving to reach carbon neutrality well before 2050. However, buildings are ... -
Improving Building Energy Efficiency through Measurement of Building Physics Properties Using Dynamic Heating Tests
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2019-04-16)Buildings contribute to nearly 30% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making a significant impact on climate change. Despite advanced design methods, such as those based on dynamic simulation tools, a significant discrepancy ... -
Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2019-03-01)The article introduces the process of deep energy retrofit carried out on a residential building in the UK, using a ‘TCosy’ approach in which the existing building is completely surrounded by a new thermal envelope. It ... -
Modelling Computational Fluid Dynamics with Swarm Behaviour
Jankovic, Ljubomir (International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2018-09-11)The paper looks at replacing the current top-down approach to modelling, predominantly used in dynamic simulation tools, with a nature inspired bottom-up approach based on principles of swarming. Computational fluid dynamics ... -
Novel alternatives to traditional at-risk heritage materials due to climate change
Booth, Peter; Jankovic, Ljubomir (2021-07-13)Extreme weather events drive a need for more regular maintenance on heritage buildings and may cause stress to the performance of traditional materials. Developments in bio-enhanced self-repair materials is an opportunity ... -
Novel biodesign enhancements to at-risk traditional building materials
Booth, Peter; Jankovic, Ljubomir (2022-10-03)Extreme weather conditions increase the frequency of regular maintenance on heritage buildings and cause erosion of traditional materials. Developments in bio-enhanced self-repair materials provide an opportunity to improve ... -
Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2019-09-02)Financing building retrofit projects that contribute to climate change mitigation has always represented a significant barrier. With 28% of global emissions coming from existing buildings, it is of paramount importance to ... -
