The mathematic models for thermal, and PV solar power inserted in the ESP-r, which is the integrating building energy and environment simulation tool, were verified with the measured da ta. Using the verified model, the energy performance of an office building, equipped toward the south with conventional absorptive single facade or unventilated double PV facade or outward ventilated double PV f...

In the last years more and more applications make use of 3d building models. Automatic reconstruction is essential for the acquisition and updating of the huge amount of data. For many applications it is useful to be able to transform the object representation automatically in order to generalize the geometry. For this task a structurally rich description of the object is needed. We presented a...

This document is intended to give an overview of the project ’Advanced Facade Rendering’. The Project’s aim was to improve the generation of facades and their geometry and subdivisions based on simple facade pictures. These subdivisions are set automatically by using some sophisticated image-based algorithms or manually by the user. This way it is possible to create astonishing results of a fac...

The aim is a cleaning robot which automatically cleans the outside of windows on a facade with vertical jambs and horizontal bars. The facade has to possess certain constructive properties. This "interface" enables the cleaning robot which is detachable from the building and portable to operate on any respectively designed facade on several buildings. A special cleaning-head keeps the water use...

This Multi Channel Platform is based on a concise architecture concept which differentiates application from business layers. MCP uses so-called facades. A facade provides functions which invoke one or more service functions (data aggregation). The facade is the interface to the applications within the business domains of Credit Suisse which are using specific services. It offers typical method...

This paper describes the Wrapper Facade pattern. The intent of this pattern is to encapsulate low-level functions and data structures with object-oriented (OO) class interfaces. Common examples of the Wrapper Facade pattern are class libraries like MFC, ACE, and AWT that encapsulate native OS C APIs, such as sockets, pthreads, or GUI functions. Programming directly to native OS C APIs makes net...

In this thesis, we address facade image interpretation as one essential ingredient for the generation of high-detailed, semantic meaningful, three-dimensional city-models. Given a single rectified facade image, we detect relevant facade objects such as windows, entrances, and balconies, which yield a description of the image in terms of accurate position and size of these objects. Urban digital...

Visualization of city scenes is important for many applications including entertainment and urban mission planning. Models covering wide areas can be efficiently constructed from aerial images. However, only roof details are visible from aerial views; ground views are needed to provide details of the building facades for high quality ’fly-through’ visualization or simulation applications. We pr...
