University Planning and Architecture: The Search for Perfection

June 06, 2025 08:42 AM
The environment of a university – what we term a campus – is a place with special resonance. They have long been the setting for some of history's most exciting experiments in the design of the built environment. Christopher Wren at Cambridge, Le Corbusier at Harvard, and Norman Foster at the Free University Berlin: the calibre of practitioners who have shaped the physical realm of academia is superlative.

Corporate Greenhouse Gas Accounting for Emissions From Electricity Consumption

March 26, 2025 09:23 AM
This dissertation presents a concept for the accounting of electricity-dependent companies. This concept addresses known weaknesses of the current accounting approach according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Among other things, the concept includes a higher temporal resolution, consideration of additionality in the evaluation of electricity procurement options, and the integration of various calculation methods. Furthermore, the implementation of the concept and its application to three case studies are presented.
