For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree. The use of simulation tools in the urban context and connected to 2D or 3D web-based visualization applications are valuable tools for decision-makers and citizen’s engagement. If we talk about improving the sustainability of the building stock in neighbourhoods and districts, innovative technical, social and economic models need to be considered under a global LCA/Climate change perspective having in mind interactions with mobility, circularity and co-creation processes with public authorities and citizens.
The candidates will be part of the Energy and Environment Group at the Department of Architecture and Technology, NTNU. The Energy and Environment group strives to solve sustainability issues of the built environment and to prepare it for climate neutrality. Based on science and research we advance design solutions that integrate energy and environmental performance with high architectural and spatial quality. By developing and adopting methods for evaluating indoor and outdoor environmental quality, environmental impact, energy and resource use, we are seeking a performative approach to architecture. We aim at enabling the design of buildings and neighbourhoods with a positive impact on humans and their environment throughout their life cycle.
Tasks:
- Examine the state-of-the-art about EU-wide GIS-data, tools and databases for processing, editing, merging, enrichment, etc.
- Development of a uniform data structure in 3D city models (CityGML-Standard) and respective databases.
- Structured data retrieval from the demo partners/ municipalities based on developed data definitions
- Creation of 3D city models (CityGML) for the different ULLs/PEDs (existing and newly built neighbourhoods)
- Participate in project meetings and reporting of activities (including project reports).
- Participate in dissemination and communication activities, including development of scientific publications and workshops.
