The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has the following vacancy

PhD position: Modeling of virtual natural lighting solutions for buildings(V38.555)

at the unit Building Physics and Systems - Department of Architecture, Building and Planning

The Department offers a BSc in Building Science (Bouwkunde) and MSc programmes in Architecture, Building and Planning, Building Services and Construction Management and Engineering. Education and research in the department focus on the development and use of technology in construction. Research is design and application oriented, based on fundamental scientific insights and methods.
The research will be embedded in the building simulation group of the unit Building Physics & Systems. Research and teaching of this unit aim to create and maintain a sustainable, healthy, comfortable and productive indoor and outdoor environment. The focus lies on physical aspects and processes including heat and mass transfer in constructions, indoor air quality, lighting, acoustics, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. A holistic and integrated approach is considered essential. The unit has about 30 scientific staff (including 15 PhD researchers) and ample physical laboratory facilities (supported by 7 technicians). The multi-disciplinary staffing of the unit enables the aforementioned approach and makes the unit rather unique.
Tasks

Project description
The research aims to develop and apply innovative computational building performance simulation tools in the context of a larger R&D project about virtual natural lighting solutions (VNLS), ie. advanced artificial daylight systems. The project will start with a literature review, analysis of requirements for visual comfort, analysis of state-of-the-art building performance simulation software, and analysis of current VNLS concepts. The main focus of the project will be to develop/ expand simulation models for evaluation of a wide range of lighting conditions responding to varying user behaviour and demands. The latter can be activity (e.g. reading, monitoring) or user (e.g. children, office workers, elderly) dependent. Obviously electric energy demand and parasitic heat losses will be a major concern.
Starting from state-of-the-art tools the main research method will involve iterative rapid software prototyping. Subsequent prototypes will be calibrated and tested on real world VNLS prototype applications which will be developed by other parties in the above mentioned R&D initiative. The overall project will have a potential users’ forum that will be consulted in general and will be involved in terms of utilitarian evaluation.

Requirements

The candidate should possess a relevant MSc. degree in Building Science, Civil or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent. Experience in building performance simulation and interest in design and operation of buildings and building services is essential.
Further requirements

• Demonstrated interest in applied scientific research
• Well developed communicative skills
• Proficiency in English writing and speaking
• Enthusiasm and team spirit

Appointment and Salary

The duration of the project is for 4 years. The gross monthly salary increases from 2.042,- Euro in the first year to 2.612,- Euro in the fourth year.

Besides this, the TU/e has an excellent package of attractive benefits for employees, a child-care facility, and a modern sports complex. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given.

Department of Architecture and Urban Planning

50000403v1067
Contact: Lou Schol

details

Description: Research at the ASRO department is conducted by four divisions:

1. Architectural History and Conservation
2. Theory of Urbanism and Architecture (OSA)
3. Design and Building Methodology
4. Planning and Development

Research at ASRO is fundamental as well as applied, and covers the wide range of the built environment. This fosters a diversity of mutually enriching and complementary approaches. We mention in particular the focus on development contexts, mainly in the Planning & Development and OSA divisions.

The research group History of Architecture and Conservation (ARCHISTORIA), jointly directed by professors K. De Jonge and L. Verpoest, numbers circa ten researchers with a multidisciplinary background. Basic research focuses on the history and historiography of architecture, construction and conservation in the Low Countries from the Late Middle Ages to the present day in a European perspective. Projects also touch upon other research areas, such as archival and documentation sciences, CAAD, urban history and urbanism, military and institutional history. The group’s composition and the scientific output (contributions to international symposia, publications and networks) testify to its international profile.

OSA (Onderzoeksgroep Stedelijkheid en Architectuur or Theory of Urbanism and Architecture), led by professors A. Loeckx, H. Heynen and M. Smets, focuses its research on questions of urbanity and urbanism. Its main concern is the relationship between architecture and the city, as it is shaped by urban morphologies and typologies, and its significance through patterns of use and discourse. These topics are dealt with in fundamental (theoretically oriented) research as well as in applied (policy-oriented) research. In methodological terms, the group’s research relies upon critical theory, historical [typo-morphological] analyses and fieldwork. The applied and policy oriented research builds upon this methodology in order to deal with specific and concrete questions that arise in the practice of urbanism and planning.

Research at the division of Design and Building Methodology (professors H. Neuckermans, F. De Troyer and A. Heylighen) relates to the epistemological and methodological study of the design and building process. The team’s foundation in architectural, construction and design sciences allows critical and constructive research in a wide range of areas. The primary focus lies on the early stages of design, which represent a major intellectual challenge. In the domain of CAAD, useful concepts for future developments in computer-aided architectural design are being explored. Design didactics, building economy, universal design and sustainable construction methods constitute other research fields. Particular topics originate from the CAADLAB’s involvement in the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation.

The research unit of Planning and Development is a multi-disciplinary team, led by the professors F. Moulaert and J. Schreurs. It does research in the fields of planning methodology and planning theory, regional development, strategic planning, project development, project and process management, mobility and transport. Besides basic research, long-term programs such as "Spatial planning to Strategic projects (SP2SP)", which ensure necessary deepening, and policy studies and policy programs are also developed as an application to the research. These applied studies provide an important feedback to the basic research and form a permanent supplier of topics to be studied.

Key words: history of architecture and conservation, Urbanity and architecture, design and building methodology, planning and devel
