Current work

I am currently the lead researcher of the Urban System Simulation group and currently involved in different projects: 1. The SCCER - FEEB&D centred on the energy efficiency of buildings and districts. Our group is particularly involved in the evaluation of the implementation of decentralized energy system using renewable energies in urban districts to improve their autonomy but also to reduce their CO2 emissions. 2. The continuous development of multi-scale (district, urban, regional) meteorological models. The Canopy Interface Model (CIM) that was recently developed to act as an interface in meteorological models (such as WRF) capable, has now also been coupled with CitySim. The objective was to develop an operational tool which can be used to evaluate the impact of sustainable urban planning (energy use, comfort, system configuration) over territories ranging from big urban areas to small towns or neighborhoods. 3. MoTUS - Measurement of Turbulence in an Urban Setup. To better understand the meteorological processes in an urban setup, a mast of 27m high has been installed on the EPFL campus. 3D sonic anemometers as well as surface temperature sensors and a radiometer are now acquiring data. 4. Solar oven cooker project: Along with the nano-group, we are trying to improve the performance of a solar oven cooker by applying several techniques used in building physics .

Biography Publications

His research work focuses on improving our understanding of processes impacting the urban climate, building energy use, energy system design and comfort in urban areas. He has a Ph. D. from the University of Strasbourg (France) in Earth and Environmental Science and holds a Masters degree in Climate-Environment Interaction from Université de Versailles - St- Quentin en Yvelines (France). He has also worked and studied at Purdue University (USA). He is since 2014 working at the LESO-PB lab at EPFL. He strongly believes in open research and in supporting outreach programmes. His works (papers, codes and data) are all available through institutional repositories or on request. He tweets as @D_Mauree and blogs for blogs.egu.eu/divisions/as/.

Travaux actuelles

Je suis actuellement chercheur au LESO-PB et travaille sur divers projets: 1. Le SCCER - FEEB&D centré sur l'efficacité énergétique des bâtiment et des quartier urbains. Notre groupe est particulièrement impliquer dans l'évaluation de la capacité à implémenter des énergies renouvelables décentralisés dans un milieu urbain afin d'améliorer l'autonomie énergétique des quartiers mais aussi en diminuant les émission de gaz à effet de serre. 2. Continuer le développement de modèle travaillant à plusieurs échelles (quartier, urbain, regional). Le Canopy Interface Model (CIM) qui a été developpé récemment peut être utilisé dans les modèles météo (comme WRF) mais a aussi été couplé avec l'outil CitySim. L'objectif à moyen terme est de développer de nouvelles méthodologies et outils qui pourront être utilisés pour la planification urbaine (consommation d'énergie, comfort thermique, configuration de systèmes) sur des térritoires pouvant aller du quartier à l'échelle de la ville. 3. MoTUS - Mesures de la turbulence en milieu urbain. Afin de mieux comprendre les processus météorologiques dans un milieu urbain, un mât de 27m de haut a été installé sur le campus de l'EPFL. Des anémomètres soniques 3D de même que des sondes de températures de surfaces et un radiomètre ont été installé. 4. Four solaire. Avec le groupe Nano du LESO, nous essayons d'améliorer les performances des four solaires en y utilisant des techniques essentiellement dévéloppées et utilisées dans les bâtiments.
