Computational Building Performance Simulations

Existing Case

The possibility of implementing Split Graduation central heating and cooling system for Heijmans ONE mobile temporary Tiny House cluster was analyzed. Comfort and life-cycle costs were chosen as the indicators. TRNSYS was used to model 10 unit Heijmans ONE cluster in Existing Case April 2016 July 2015 (Electric Under Floor Heating (01)) and Investigated Case (Central Air Source Heat Pump partially powered by a Photovoltaic system and an Air Handling Unit for heating and cooling within the units (02)). Indicators showed that Investigated Case provides better comfort as the Existing Case has no cooling capability. Regarding life-cycle costs, central heating and cooling pays off after 9 years.

Happy House Masterproject Beyond Lodging had an assignment to redesign four empty office buildings in Eindhoven. The HEMA building, the ABN AMRO building, the Hertoghof and the TD-Building. These buildings have been redeveloped into student complexes, which go beyond the standard lodging units. Happy House was the name given to a redeveloped TD-Building. Lack of affordable housing has been an issue in the Netherlands for a long time. Part of the solution is empty office conversion into residential buildings. TD-Building reconstruction into mixed use residential building was proposed. Dormitory, hostel, fraternity, automated supermarket were incorporated into the design. To allow students to create cosy environment the outdoor corridors have been designed to be as wide as possible.

This allows couches, bicycles and other student life items to be placed in the building (10) without hampering the fire safety. Furthermore the open air corridors create dwelling streets, which increase the social interaction among the residents, which form the basis of student dormitory life.

Vertigo Workshop Extension The Architectural Engineering course assignment was to design a temporary extension for TU/e Vertigo building’s workshop. Lack of space in Vertigo workshop occurs during peak project deadline times of the academic year and creates a need for temporary workshop extension. The extension was designed in an existing access ramp pit (14), which leads into Vertigo building’s basement. This allowed to reuse existing access routes and infrastructure. The roof of the extension forms seating-stairs (83), which create playful environment and add value to the TU Eindhoven university campus. The workshop extension also has level access to the storage facilities and elevators for easy scale model transportation around the building.

Concrete Canvas Tiny Houses Concrete Canvas Tiny Houses (CCTH) offer a Digitally Manufactured Pneumatically Rigidised alternative to current staple of large scale digital manufacturing: Additive Layer Manufacturing and CNC Machining. Concrete Canvas is used as the main construction material for these buildings. The advantage of this material is that it is flexible. This feature is used to produce CCTHs off-site, fold them, transport them to the deployment site, inflate and harden them – have the structure up and standing in 24 hours.

NRE Terrein was selected as the site for CCTH deployment in Eindhoven. The site is strategically located within the city and provide convenient access to various pointsof-interests for potential resident demographics. All types of CCTHs (18) were placed there (81) together with outdoor furniture, vegetation and storage facilities (19).

For deployment in NRE Terrein it was decided to leave the original CCTH surface texture intact. NRE Terrein is an old industrial site, hence industrial looking materials blend in well in this area. For deployment in other sites Concrete Canvas can be painted with ordinary masonry paint to achieve the desired aesthetics.

Brainport Pavilion The task at hand was to develop a pavilion that would suit far reaching Brainport expectations. Modularity was chosen as the base of the design. This choice opens possibilities to connect single self sustaining units into bigger structures that comply with the needs for the big and for the small. The chosen approach reflects Brainport collaborative nature. The outer membrane protects the inner space from the weather and displays visual installations on its e-ink covered surface. The inner membrane married with flexible OLED screens and touch sensitive surfaces introduce visitors to technological experience that is being made possible by Brainport community innovations.

VGTU Science and Study Center The program of the building was split between the largest area dedicated to the conference hall and the laboratory wing. As a result the building consists of two distinct parts: the dome and the U shaped outer layer. The architectural concept of the facade of the U shaped laboratory wing draws inspiration from the surrounding functional style buildings. The dome serves a discrete function of a conference hall. As such it is visually separated from the rest of the building. The dome was to be constructed using an inflatable membrane and reinforced shotcrete applied on the inside surface of the membrane. The laboratory wing was to be constructed from prefabricated concrete elements. Additional information can be found via the following URL: flic.kr/s/aHsjmTZcYx

Apartment Building The program of the assignment was to design a 4 story apartment building with commercial space in the ground floor. In order to limit the built up area of the site it was decided to elevate the apartment blocks above ground. This was also the main reason for placing the parking in the underground. Trapeze shaped floorplan layout was selected due to it optimally fitting into the site. Roof terrace above the shop was created for the residents of the building.

VertiWalk Support ROMBOUT Frieling lab has been developing VertiWalk for several years, when I was asked to help out with the support of the system. VertiWalk is a human powered elevator that turns rocking motion into vertical motion. I was asked if I could help support the deployment of the system in Venice, Italy and Eindhoven, Netherlands. I agreed to provide the technical support and help brainstorm some ideas for the further improvement of the VertiWalk. 35 Additional information regarding VertiWalk can be found via the following URL: www.vertiwalk.com

When the vehicle is stationary and there is no wind only the fLUMEN Cloud structure is visible.

When the vehicle is on the move or there is a wind gust, when the vehicle is stationary, fLUMEN blades are spun and LEDs embedded in fLUMEN structure start converting mechanical energy into light.

Description: ROMBOUT Frieling lab concentrates on projects that utilize potential. Wind energy is such a potential, yet often distant and intangible and therefore not fully exploited. fLUMENS are wind powered lights, developed by us, which often amaze people that a lot of light can be generated from even a tiny gust of wind. FLUMENS have undergone rigorous testing at wind speeds of 140km/h in order to be in reliable and 100% safe operation for months on end next to the public in various lighting installations (see page 2). We are therefore completely confident to use them safely and reliably for this Design Ride proposal.

At DDW16, we would like to present the fLUMENS CLOUD on top of the Design Rides: The CLOUD contains 25 fLUMENS and serves as a solid mounting structure for the FLUMENS as well as an additional layer of protection. It further resembles the potential of moving air. Both during the drive and statically on a windy day, fLUMENS will reveal patterns of light that react to wind direction and force – showing the potential of something that is so abundantly around us.41 Page 4/8

BIM Modelling BIM Modelling of various prefabricated concrete building elements. The technical documentation that is extracted from these BIM models are primarily technical drawings for concrete mold fabrication, and steel reinforcement placement information. Complex task that requires close collaboration with in-house structural engineer and third parties that are responsible for various other parts of the building. Therefore consists clash detection with the designs and needs of plumbers, electricians, architects and etc. was required.

fLUMENS Tensegrity Tower fLUMENS Tensegrity Tower was an art project submission for Burning Man 2018. The intention was to design and build a lightweight structure to which fLUMENS could be mounted to. This way transportation costs from Europe to North America could be made minimal as most of the structure would consist of steel brackets, steel cables and timber members. The timber members could be sourced locally, therefore the only things that would require transportation would be the steel cables, brackets and fLUMENS, which could all fit into a couple of suitcases. Tensegrity allowed to design a structure with the minimum amount of materials and have enough vertical cables available to install fLUMENS onto. The Black Rock Desert is known for it’s winds and fLUMENS would have generated a spectacular light spectacle. However this submission was not shortlisted. A scale model was fabricated to test the tensegrity concept.

The 747 Project As my fLUMENS Tensegrity Tower project did not make the cut I decided I to help other creators with their projects. While looking for help request on Burning Man community forums I stumbled upon the “Big Imagination“ project. It’s a Boeing 747 jumbo jet that has been relocated from Mojave aircraft boneyard into the Black Rock Desert and they needed volunteers to help put the aircraft back together and prepare it for Burning Man 2018. I singed up and together with a team of volunteers helped to cut, clean, paint, grind, nail, sweep, fasten, screw and elbow grease the airframe back together into a roadworthy state.

Hostel Since my help for the 747 project was only required before the Burning Man 2018 event I helped another “Theme Camp“ to set up. The theme of the camp was “Hostel“ and it drew inspiration from a Hollywood movie of the same name. We basically built a typical American style timber frame house in the Black Rock City. It took a lot of effort to prepare all the material before the event, transport it and erect it on site in scorching desert heat and sandstorms. 55

Solar Canvas Various solar design options have been evaluated for the PoweVIBES (GEM Tower) project (63). Simulations were conducted in order to evaluate Building Integrated Photovoltaics potential and conclusion was made that there are not enough suitable surfaces on the GEM Tower itself. Therefore Solar Canvases were designed as an external system from the tower that can be placed independently. Solar Canvases were designed, fabricated and their performance validated in the field (64).

Data Engineering Python NumPy and Pandas libraries came in very handy when performing Data Wrangling. I used these Python tools in combination with Docker, Airflow, Azure, and other Data Engineering solutions for various projects.

Blob Storage 73

(73) Minimalistic Plotly dashboard displaying OV-Fiets availability at selected cities from around the Netherlands in the past 24 hours. (74) In the Backend OV-Fiets JSON API was converted into CSV file format that was stored in Azure Blob Storage and read by Plotly dashboard. (75) OV-Fiets JSON API nested dictionaries were converted and trimmed into the required CSV file form factor. (76) In the Frontend Plotly dashboard was composed in Docker, deployed to Azure Container registry, and a Web App Service was created in order to display the dashboard, which read data from CSV file stored on Azure Blob Storage.

4. Design Solutions – Energy System Components The method for evaluating the GEM Tower energy system performance was to generate assumptions on possible RES energy output and validate them by monitoring the system output in the field. The assumptions for Wind energy output were made by IBIS Power. The Solar energy output was calculated by me using PVWatts. The energy system performance was monitored using VRM and BeNext Energy Switches. The assumptions were compared with measurements and the overall system performance evaluated. Validated assumptions were used to predict what amount of RES energy the GEM Tower can generate.

expectations – annual deviation was 27%. The deviation was used as a correction factor for GEM Tower RES generation assumptions (Fig. 21.).

Fig. 28. Validated annual Solar Energy output of the GEM Tower

Fig. 5. Assumptions of what amount of RES energy could the GEM Tower’s Energy System Components generate.

The concept of hybrid solar wind energy generation systems is nothing new. The concept makes use of the constantly changing weather patterns by combining wind and solar power. Also in northern latitudes there is less sunlight, but more wind in the winter (and vice versa in the summer). Therefore by using hybrid RES the annual power generation curve can be smoothed out (Fig. 5). Wind forms the major energy output in the winter months and sunlight – summer months [56]. In the case of PowerVIBES the mobile RES energy generation system for summer festivals was developed in close collaboration with IBIS Power [24] and OGE [57]. GEM Tower Wind Energy Generation Assumptions PowerVIBES consortium contains partners that provide solutions in RES and Energy Storage fields. 37.0 Their expertise and products were incorporated into the GEM Tower design.

Energy Generation, [kWh/day]

77 SCs do have a major mounting hurdle to overcome. SCs have to be secured in place, in areas that are preferably not shaded. This often ends up being on the rooftops of various structures. Working at heights first of all raises health and safety concerns, and secondly each location differs and a simple to utilize universal mounting method is currently not implemented. The initial concept of mounting SCs in an aluminum tube frame on top of two TEU containers seemed promising (Fig. 29), but it’s cumbersome and costs a lot of time. If a crane is not available for lifting the assembled SC frames on top of the TEU roof mounted subframe, then working at heights pose the aforementioned HS concerns. No en masse deployment method for SCs was envisioned and their deployment takes too GEM Tower Renevable Energy Generation Validated much time. Currently SC deployment solution is custom tailored for each location – which is Assumptions inefficient. However it’s currently the only GEM Tower’s RES source that produces any significant amounts of energy. Therefore SCs are essential for GEM Tower’s energy system and it seems that the 37.0 labor intensive task of deploying them will remain an issue for the time being. 32.0

GEM Tower is aimed at outdoor events and most of them happen during the warm part of the year. We can define the Festival Season by exploring Google search queries for the term “Festival” (Fig. 22.). This can allow to see which time of the year GEM Tower should focus on. April, May, June, July Marius Lazauskas Portfolio tiny.cc/malaz and August can be deemed as the months of the Festival Season. Even in the WECS assumptions (Fig. 5.) Wind output for these months is small and most of the energy production comes from Solar. In

I have placed the VAWT cables in a protective conduit and installed weatherproof connectors. These improvements made the VAWT cable easier to handle. I designed and fabricated the plywood mounting panels that were used for WAVT equipment installation in the Module 2. I designed and fabricated an improved version of the support stands for VAWT assembly and disassembly (Fig. 40.). I started being vocal about VAWT underperformance when after 14 days of cumulative deployment

3D Modelling Various 3D models have been generated for work and university. Some were studies with the aim to explore lighting possibilities of the structure/object/volume. For university purposes building models were made and rendered. 3DS MAX, AutoCAD, SketchUp were the main software tools used in modelling.

Electronics Manufacturing Working in a manufacturing environment allowed to see the possibilities for automation in construction industry. Besides actual construction methods this also applies to BIM. There seems to be a lot of possibilities for optimization, which can streamline design processes and save a lot of valuable time. A lot can be learnt from gaining experience in industry sectors, which are outside of ones scope – stepping out of the comfort zone opens ones eyes to the potential of automation.

Making Fond of hands-on approach and as a result like tinkering with electronics, bicycles and anything else that can be taken apart and put back together.

(93) Old Batavus bicycle conversion into belt drive. The bicycle was converted into belt drive, as chain drive requires constant maintenance. SRAM Automatix two speed Automatic Internal Gear Hub was installed into the back wheel and the whole bicycle was assembled from various other donor bicycles: youtu.be/2MAdeJHXATg (94) This was part of the nervous system light installation study (87). To better visualize the structure and present the ideas to the client the model was 3D printed. This helped with communication with the client and allowed to interactively develop lighting strategies that met the client’s needs: youtu.be/56ebmwK-aMY (95) Concrete Canvas Tiny House (CCTH) scale models. Dynamic Type 3 CCTH model was made to interactively display the deployment process of a CCTH. Static model was made from Concrete Canvas to show how the final result would look like. Scale detail model of a wall-slab section was made to show how the structure of the CCTH would work: flic.kr/p/sPXeky tiny.cc/ccth2

(96) Interactive Brainport Pavilion scale model. The model was made to showcase the self-assembly and deployment of the structure. One leg of the model had servo motors installed and controlled by an Arduino. The end results was an autonomous pavilion, which could move on it’s own to emphasize the high-tech industry possibilities of Brainport region companies: youtu.be/6EpKmlyiCyc (97) Human powered LED lights. Bicycle dynamo is nothing new, but with wide spread adoption of LED lighting there are new possibilities to be explored with dynamic bicycle lighting. The test setup is static, but with additional development and sensors the LEDs can indicate acceleration, deceleration , turning and endless array of other interactive features: youtu.be/l2xvEdJ62fk (98) VGTU Science and Study Center scale model. Model was made form CNC cut PMMA. PV panels and LED lighting were incorporated into the model to showcase the roof mounted PV panel possibilities for local energy production and consumption.

Epoxy Refurbishment Where some see rubbish, others spot a glimmer of potential. I wanted to experiment with epoxy on discarded tabletop furniture. The goal was to refurbish the damaged tabletop surfaces. Pieces of furniture that were reclaimed from the street were used. The main preparation was the removal of the old tabletop coating, decreasing, and barrier or mask application. Afterwards epoxy resin was mixed and poured ontop of the ready tabletop surfaces. After the epoxy was set in around two days these pieces of furniture lived to see another day.

Art Intervention Often when trying to make a point it’s pretty much impossible to convince the opposition. Therefore I find playful and subtle anonymous Art Interventions handy at making a point. Most of the time the message is not really understood, but the smiles and confused peoples faces are worth the effort nonetheless.

(107) It was a sunny early autumn day, Exhaust was blowing from the void, Abandoned bags were spinning in a whirlpool, Therefore I had to sat them down. (108) The neighbours from the room next door were often indulging in intoxicating activities that were followed by continuous loud sounds. Therefore when the room inhabitants passed out an intervention took place on their door. Hopefully it caused many questions the next morning. (109) Conformists are fond of coming up with fashion “rules”, therefore it’s occasionally a good idea to remind them to dial their materialism down a notch. (110) 16th floor elevator button received hot glue and matchstick treatment. We were observing the course of action taken by elevator takers until the inevitable destruction of this irritating obstruction.

Something had to be done. Therefore for April Fools day I pleased them with the continuation of the story.

Photography Since the purchase of the first digital camera started discovering the potential of manual digital camera features. Throughout the years this resulted in a couple of interesting images.
