Author Information

Arno Schlueter holds a degree in Architecture from the Karlsruhe University of Technology and a PhD in Building Systems from ETH Zurich. His research focuses on systemic approaches to integrating energy, emissions and human comfort into the design, production and operation of buildings. He teaches and researches on integrated building systems for low-emission buildings and cities, from design to operation, using computational and experimental approaches. He is a professor at the Institute of Technology in Architecture at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Chair of Architecture and Building Systems. Since 2011, he has been a Principal Investigator and is currently the Director of the Zurich Hub of the SEC Future Cities Lab, as well as the Director of Studies of the Master's in Integrated Building Systems programme. Christoph Waibel holds a degree in architecture from the University of Stuttgart, an M.Sc. in Environmental Design and Engineering from University College London, and a Ph.D. in co-simulation and optimisation from ETH Zurich. Christoph focuses on the development and integration of models for building simulation, multi-energy systems, machine learning, and optimisation for the design of sustainable buildings and cities. He is currently the activity lead of the Construction Robotics and Innovative Building Envelopes (CRIB) group at VITO, Belgium. Previously, he was module coordinator at the SEC Future Cities Lab and worked as a lecturer and senior researcher at the Chair of Architecture and Building Systems (A/S), ETH Zurich. Prior to his academic career, Christoph worked in industry as a programmer and 3D modeller for geometrically complex building projects, and as a building simulation specialist.
