Welcome to the EPFL Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory directed by Professor Jean-Louis Scartezzini. We are pleased to present our work in favour of sustainability in the built environment.

Current research goals:
► Energy efficiency in the built environment and building integrated solar energy conversion systems
► Energy savings in buildings and improvement of indoor environment quality and health through:
          - Advanced integrated day- and electric lighting systems based on non-imaging optics
          - Optimal and adaptive building controllers inspired by living organisms
► Urban physics and computer modelling of sustainable cities
