Smart housing and building

Presentation

Research laboratories of the Burgundy Campus offer several approaches and methodologies around the concept of « Smart Housing », treated structurally and spatially:

• Economical approach: urban and geographical economies theories, depending on thematics, their interface with environmental economy, economic growth theories, and international economy;
• Spatial approach: mechanisms and phenomenon study (modalities of consumption, use, production, provision of goods and services, trade and non-trade interactions, coordination and conflicts…);
• Technological approach: design of new agrosciences materials and technologies for sustainable and energy saving housing;
• Numerical approach: design of numerical models and ontologies, which can be applied to building and/or management of smart housing (ex: open building mode, Information Modeling, …).

These complementary approaches allow a complete analysis of the conception, from building frame to its spatial integration, taking into account the territorial planning study, smart functionalities and its adaptation to users.
