With the aim to offer an alternative renovation concept for schools and thus contribute a better indoor environmental quality reduced energy consumption, system combining diffuse ceiling double-skin facade with existing exhaust ventilation (I-DIFFER) was proposed in previous work by authors. The initial analyses of novel were promising, showing potential 11 % reduction primary consumption compa...

We propose a novel formulation for parsing facade images with user-defined shape prior. Contrary to other state-of-the-art methods, we do not explore the procedural space of shapes derived from a grammar. Instead we formulate parsing as a linear binary program which we solve using dual decomposition. The algorithm produces plausible approximations of globally optimal segmentations without gramm...
