Innovative technologies to accelerate the energetic renovation of buildings
- ID: 11560
- Type(s):
- Section(s): Projet ENAC
- Status: Validé
- Professor: Philippe Thalmann, Takayoshi Goto
Although buildings are responsible for more than a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Switzerland, only a small percent of them are renovated each year, leaving the building sector far behind the 2050 target of carbon neutrality set by the federal government. This project seeks to accelerate this retrofitting process through innovation: students will first investigate on existing technical solutions for energetic renovation from the building industry, and then propose their own product (facade material, insulation, windows, BIPV, heating system), while being aware of the target user and possible obstacles for its implementation. Suitable for a team project.

Saving the tropical forests
- ID: 12134
- Type(s):
- Section(s): Projet ENAC
- Status: Complet
- Professor: Philippe Thalmann, Frank Vöhringer
This project identifies challenges and possible solutions for saving and regrowing tropical forests. This is essential, among other things, for wildlife conservation and biodiversity, for the water cycle, and for the local as well as the global climate. Choose a country (or province) with a lot of tropical forest (such as Brazil or Indonesia), study their forestry and conservation policies and identify the major challenges and issues on the way to reaching the policy targets. To the extent possible, adopt the perspective of (multiple) local stakeholders. What are possible solutions e.g. with respect to the financing and institutional consolidation of conservation projects and forestry investments? How can international capital flows be generated? And how can the local population benefit from these projects?
