“Make TU Delft a showcase for multidisciplinary climate research”

The Geomatics Synthesis project

Our goal:

Help building a fundamental framework which will support

multidisciplinary climate research in the campus.

Our objectives:

“Provide the tools to measure and model the climate in the campus“

Climate

Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get!

6

Urban ClimateWhat is (urban) climate?

Depends on:

o size

o location

o activities

o stage of development

o …

Example: the energy balance depends on changes of chemical content of the area, CO2 emmision of cars, changes reflection (energy fluxes) of landcover, etc.

Stakeholder requirementsStakeholder activity Climate parameter of

interestRequirements on 3D model and sensing system

CCC organization All climate parameters Extensible 3D environment able to store and manage urban objects and their thematic properties

Heat simulations Trees, surface properties Storage of surface parameters and trees. Shadow analysis on trees and buildings

Wind simulations Trees, porosity of tree canopy, building geometry

Ability to insert and extract buildings or trees from the model

People tracking and comfort level

Trees, surface properties, temperature

Continuous tracking of people for mobility research

Result: Paper UDMS WorkshopMeasure the Climate, Model the City

• E. Boufidou, T. J. F. Commandeur & S. B. Nedkov

• MSc Geomatics, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands• This study involves the set-up of an extensible framework, able to

store and handle 3-D representations and thematic properties of the

built environment as well as regional climate parameters which vary

in space and time. To this end, the computer modelling programme

CityGML has been used and extended to allow the storage of climate

parameters.

• The campus of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will be

the test bed for such an application, and the current study contains

the procedure and the results of a student project within the

Geomatics MSc programme at the TU Delft.

Geomatics Synthese Project

Peer evaluation

• During the project, two self-evaluations and two peer reviews

have to be held, i.e. they are compulsory. The project tutor will

draw your attention to these evaluations, and how to access

them.

• Final Individual Grade:

• Group Grade

• Individual Grade

• The tutors also check the consistence of this grading with the

peer evaluation results.

Student A about B:

Midterm

• Technical: 3

• Commitment: 3

• Attitude: 1

• Initiative: 2

• Management of Resources: 3

• Communication: 3

• Lack of motivation. No participation in group brainstorm sessions.

No creative input. Not a team player. Wants to be told exactly

what to do, no own input. Demotivates fellow group members.

Student A about B

Final

• Technical: 3

• Commitment : 2

• Attitude: 1

• Initiative: 2

• Management of Resources: 2

• Communication: 1

• Rather poor team member.. didn't contribute anything intellectual

to the project. His first and often only contribution to a

discussion: "there is no time left" and "it's too complicated". Also,

waits till others come up with ideas and input. He cannot work

without a recipe. Even though he says to be open to critical input

he never accepts it. Has all kinds of responses at the ready.

Student B about A

Midterm

• Technical: 4

• Commitment : 4

• Attitude: 3

• Initiative: 4

• Management of Resources: 3

• Communication: 3

• Needs to get a more on top view of the project, set more

effectively deadlines etc..

Student B about A

Final

• Technical: 4

• Commitment : 2

• Attitude: 2

• Initiative: 2

• Management of Resources: 3

• Communication: 1

• Works very hard but on his own island, does not inform other

team members about meetings with actors. Unfortunately grumpy

all day, makes other people feel useless in the project group.

Ervaringen & aanbevelingen

• Scorion is een nieuw systeem

• Aanwijzingen en hulp noodzakelijk bij opstarten

• Invullen van formulier is voor student veel werk

• zelfevaluatie

• (n-1) mede-studenten

• 5 competentiegebieden

• Job performace; attitude; leadership; management of resources;

communication

• 5 beoordelingen

• excellent; good; satisfactory; marginal; poor

• Student heeft voorkeur voor eenvoudige excel-sheet

• Overzicht, cijfers i.p.v. rangvolgorde

19

Ervaringen & aanbevelingen

• Voor student: veel scroll en aanvinkwerk

• Verlies van overzicht

• Vergelijking moeilijk

• Is deze student op dit competentiegebied beter dan de ander?

• Beoordeling:

• Meetschaal: ordinaal

• satisfactory; poor; marginal; satisfactory; satisfactory

• Gemiddelde: ???

• Becijfering: interval

• Verhouding heeft betekenis: 3, 1, 2, 3, 3

• Gemiddelde = 2.4

• Spreiding

20

Ervaringen & aanbevelingen

• Pentagram diagram in Scorion is onjuist

• Zelfde score, maar andere volgorde competenties biedt ander beeld

• Gemiddeld cijfer per student zegt niet zo veel

• Is afhankelijk beoordeling van hele groep per competentiegebied

• Groepsgemiddelde voor ‘motivatie’ = 3, dan is groep ongemotiveerd.

• Internationale groep

• Nederlander: eerlijk / ‘bot’, dus van ‘poor’ tot ‘excellent’

• Chinees: iedereen is gelijk, dus iedereen even goed

• Commentaar is veel belangrijker dan cijfer

• Alleen zichtbaar voor student, of ook voor tutor
