ABSTRACT Urban growth and extensive construction in the cities of developing countries raise questions about environmental pollution and resource challenges, along with sustainable techniques to mitigate them. Research in developed economies has concluded that sustainable construction practices and certifications like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) can help to reduce these effects at a regional level. Metropolitan areas in developing countries, such as the Mumbai region, have had LEED-certified buildings for over a decade, but their drivers and diffusion patterns have not been studied. A regression analysis on the Mumbai's dataset of LEED-certified buildings endorsed diffusion pattern different than hierarchical diffusion of developed economies. Green buildings in the peripheral business district of Navi Mumbai are certified at higher levels than those in the central business district (CBD). Higher-level green buildings in planned outer business districts are attracting tenants from the CBD to Navi Mumbai, especially those in sectors with intensive human-capital needs. The driver for tenants demanding higher-level green buildings is the signalling benefits associated with green buildings. The results establish a linkage between occupant priorities and the type of credits emphasised in the LEED certification process. Mumbai’s higher-rated green buildings have primarily pursued credits from LEED’s Energy and Atmosphere category, signalling superior efficiency.
发展中国家的城市增长和大规模建设提出了环境污染和资源挑战的问题,同时也提出了缓解这些问题的可持续技术。发达经济体的研究已经得出结论,可持续建筑实践和认证,如能源与环境设计领导力(LEED),可以帮助在区域层面上减少这些影响。发展中国家的大都市区,如孟买地区,十多年来一直有leed认证的建筑,但它们的驱动因素和扩散模式尚未得到研究。对孟买leed认证建筑数据集的回归分析表明,这种扩散模式不同于发达经济体的分层扩散模式。新孟买周边商务区的绿色建筑比中央商务区(CBD)的绿色建筑认证水平更高。规划中的外商业区的高层绿色建筑正吸引着从中央商务区到新孟买的租户,尤其是那些需要大量人力资本的行业。租户要求更高层次的绿色建筑的驱动力是绿色建筑带来的信号效益。结果建立了居住者优先级和LEED认证过程中强调的学分类型之间的联系。孟买评级较高的绿色建筑主要追求LEED的能源和大气类别的学分,这表明效率更高。

ABSTRACT In Canada, the solar electricity sector is growing rapidly. Much of this success is based on the growth of the Ontario solar market where more than 99% of Canada’s solar electricity is generated. Ontario has developed a globally recognized solar market sector. The vast surface area of existing residential roofs across Canada represents an untapped resource for capitalizing on passive and active management of impinging solar insolation. The aim of the current research study is to evaluate the new energy harvesting technologies such as a thin-film PV integrated roof system that could serve as a conventional roofing for weather protection while generating clean solar electricity, and the new generation micro inverters that have the potential to outperform string inverters under shading and snow-cover conditions. This paper has two parts that will discuss about two smart energy harvesting technologies and their performance on residential applications in Canadian climate. Part 1 of the paper focusses on field evaluation of Roof Integrated Photovoltaic (RIPV) and Part 2 talks about the energy yield performance of integrated solar tiles and new generation micro inverters. The RIPV field trial took place at the Canadian Centre for Housing Technology (CCHT) Info Centre in Ottawa, Canada. This is a novel approach adapted from a roofing system that would typically be found on low-sloped roofs such as commercial supermarkets, industrial warehouses and school buildings. Over the eight month study period, surmounting the effects of snow cover and shadows, the RIPV system generated over 1 MWh of electricity, and had a measured system efficiency of 5.3%. The study on the new generation micro inverters for residential applications addressed the shading effects on the intermittent nature of solar energy generation. Simulating the shading conditions that are experienced by typical residential rooftop, the micro inverters were found to increase production by 1–68% relative to the conventional string inverters. The research outcome of this study has demonstrated that both these energy harvesting technologies have important incremental benefits in increasing the renewables contribution to power generation in residential homes in Canadian climatic conditions.
摘要在加拿大,太阳能发电行业发展迅速。这一成功很大程度上是基于安大略省太阳能市场的增长,加拿大99%以上的太阳能发电都来自该市场。安大略省发展了一个全球公认的太阳能市场部门。加拿大各地现有住宅屋顶的巨大表面积代表了一种尚未开发的资源,可以利用被动和主动管理入射太阳辐射。当前研究的目的是评估新的能源收集技术,如薄膜光伏集成屋顶系统,该系统可以在产生清洁太阳能电力的同时作为传统屋顶进行天气保护,以及新一代微型逆变器,该逆变器在遮阳和积雪条件下有可能优于串式逆变器。本文分为两部分,将讨论两种智能能源收集技术及其在加拿大气候下的住宅应用性能。本文的第一部分重点讨论了屋顶集成光伏(RIPV)的现场评估,第二部分讨论了集成太阳能瓦片和新一代微型逆变器的能量产出性能。RIPV现场试验在加拿大渥太华的加拿大住房技术中心信息中心进行。这是一种新颖的方法,适用于商业超市、工业仓库和学校建筑等低坡屋顶上的屋顶系统。在为期八个月的研究期间,RIPV系统克服了积雪和阴影的影响,发电量超过1 MWh,测量的系统效率为5.3%。针对住宅应用的新一代微型逆变器的研究解决了阴影对太阳能发电间歇性的影响。模拟典型住宅屋顶的遮阳条件,发现微型逆变器的产量比传统的串式逆变器增加了1–68%。这项研究的研究结果表明,在加拿大的气候条件下,这两种能源收集技术在增加可再生能源对住宅发电的贡献方面都具有重要的增量效益。

ABSTRACT Smart home, as a comfort and leisure providing equipment/device/object instead of its initial role of to serve, support, monitor and deliver therapy, is facing many challenges towards its successful integration with user's lifestyles. Among the current technical and social challenges – interoperability, reliability, privacy, security, consumer's lack of awareness about its benefits, costs and complexity of technology, maintenance costs, lack of incentive for internet providers etc. – take the lead among many others. Limiting the scope, this paper attempts to address challenges of (a) over-automation – a feeling regarding advanced technologies of being out-of-control, and (b) difficulty in understandability of equipment's/device's/object's design – users must be straight-forwardly able to operate them without any particular operational knowledge. Literature from the disciplines of artificial intelligence (hereinafter AI), product design (industrial engineering), human factors (ergonomics), social psychology, communication and sociology (sociological experiments) have been incorporated in this study to understand the psychology of human thought and cognition, everyday things and designer's ability of utilizing these psychologies and of users for addressing, first, the role that a smart home can play as a leisure equipment/device/object, and secondly, granting its user the control and ease of operability they desire.
智能家居作为一种提供舒适和休闲的设备/装置/对象,其最初的功能是服务、支持、监控和提供治疗,但在与用户的生活方式成功融合的过程中面临着许多挑战。在当前的技术和社会挑战中——互操作性、可靠性、隐私、安全性、消费者对其好处缺乏认识、技术的成本和复杂性、维护成本、互联网提供商缺乏激励等——在许多其他挑战中处于领先地位。限制范围,本文试图解决(a)过度自动化的挑战-关于先进技术失控的感觉,以及(b)设备/设备/对象设计的可理解性困难-用户必须能够直接操作它们,而无需任何特定的操作知识。本研究纳入了人工智能(以下简称AI)、产品设计(工业工程)、人因学(人体工程学)、社会心理学、传播学和社会学(社会学实验)等学科的文献,以了解人类的思维和认知心理、日常事物以及设计师利用这些心理和用户的能力,首先,智能家居作为休闲设备/装置/对象的作用;第二,给予用户他们想要的控制和易操作性。

ABSTRACT The architecture, engineering and construction industry focus on the project rather than on the product management. However, the development of digital and automated techniques requires more product based processes. Configuration information is an essential part of product management to ensure high performance. This study aims to explore if systematic configuration information, used in product development, can be applied in construction projects. An international guideline and an extensive literature study identified five key areas of configuration information applicable to construction projects. This knowledge was synthesised into a conceptual model for managing configuration information. A survey investigated the application of configuration information in construction projects. In comparison with the model, the results from the literature review and the survey show that configuration information was insufficient and not managed systematically. However, the findings also indicate that systematic configuration information can be used to improve control over the product and solve several problems encountered by construction projects. This study fills a knowledge gap regarding the management of configuration information in the context of construction projects. The ongoing development of new technologies in the architecture, engineering and construction industry will make the subject of configuration information increasingly important.
建筑、工程和建筑行业更注重项目管理,而不是产品管理。然而,数字化和自动化技术的发展需要更多基于产品的流程。配置信息是产品管理的重要组成部分,以确保高性能。本研究旨在探讨产品开发中使用的系统配置信息是否可以应用于建设项目。一项国际指南和广泛的文献研究确定了适用于建筑项目的配置信息的五个关键领域。这些知识被综合到一个管理配置信息的概念模型中。一项调查调查了配置信息在建设项目中的应用。与模型相比,文献综述和调查结果表明,配置信息不足,管理不系统。然而,研究结果也表明,系统的配置信息可以用来改善对产品的控制,并解决施工项目遇到的一些问题。本研究填补了在建设项目背景下配置信息管理方面的知识空白。随着建筑、工程和建筑行业新技术的不断发展,配置信息这一主题将变得越来越重要。

ABSTRACT This research provides a new vision of designing a bio-inspired building facade by presenting an implementation case design and its technical details. The main purpose of the presented façade that has been inspired by a kind of kinetic plant called Ice-plant seed capsule is to develop an adaptive system that is responsive to changing natural environmental conditions, such as the direction of sunlight and incorporate it into architectural designs. The next objective of this bio-inspired façade is the reduction of energy consumption in buildings and the improvement of building performance by using bio-materials and responsive methods. This paper consists of two main parts. At first an introduction to bio-inspired façade in architecture and its typologies is presented. Next, a description of design principles for hydro-actuated facades with particular focus on executive aspects of all details is presented. In general, the proposed hydroactuated façade has triple performance considering sunlight and water (as natural factors), and natural ventilation (as a physical factor). As a result, this study provides further insight into the relationship between biological strategies and building facade. It also develops responsive building façades based on multi-functionality and adaptability aspects to promote deformable and sustainable architectural systems.
摘要本研究通过介绍一个实施案例设计及其技术细节,为设计仿生建筑立面提供了一个新的视角。所展示的立面的主要目的是受一种名为“冰植物种子胶囊”的动力植物的启发,开发一种适应自然环境条件变化的系统,如阳光的方向,并将其融入建筑设计中。这种以生物为灵感的立面的下一个目标是通过使用生物材料和响应方法来降低建筑能耗并提高建筑性能。本文由两个主要部分组成。首先介绍了建筑中的仿生立面及其类型。接下来,介绍了水力驱动立面的设计原则,特别关注所有细节的执行方面。一般来说,考虑到阳光和水(作为自然因素)以及自然通风(作为物理因素),拟议的水力驱动立面具有三重性能。因此,本研究进一步深入了解了生物策略与建筑立面之间的关系。它还开发了基于多功能和适应性方面的响应式建筑立面,以促进可变形和可持续的建筑系统。

ABSTRACT In order to achieve the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) targets by 2030, there is a clear need for building sector to re-shape its practices. Therefore, this research aims to develop a scoring model for building sector to identify the baseline conditions required achieving the UN’s SDGs in Australia. Initially, this research study carried out an in-depth evaluation of the 17 goals to identify the goals that require a contribution from building sector. Most of these SDG requirements are fulfilled by leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED)-certified buildings. LEED has a separate credit system that evaluates the performance of various sustainability requirements. Therefore, LEED version 3 rating tool for buildings design and construction is analysed to identify the linter-links among UN’s SDGs and LEED credits. Upon establishing the inter-links, researchers developed a scoring system of newly constructed buildings in Australia in achieving the given SDGs. Building sector has a significant impact on goals such as ‘SDG6 Clean water and sanitation’, ‘SDG7 Affordable clean energy’, ‘SDG 12 Responsible consumption’, ‘SDG 13 Climate change’ and ‘SDG 15 Life on land’. Finally, considering all the impacts, a comprehensive contribution to development (CCDI) was established as a baseline with a value of 9.58 to evaluate buildings. This baseline can be used as a guide to evaluate whether new buildings positively contribute to UN’s SDGs.
摘要:为了在2030年前实现联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs),建筑行业显然需要重塑其实践。因此,本研究旨在为建筑行业开发一个评分模型,以确定在澳大利亚实现联合国可持续发展目标所需的基线条件。最初,这项研究对17个目标进行了深入评估,以确定需要建筑部门做出贡献的目标。这些可持续发展目标的大部分要求都是由能源和环境设计(LEED)认证建筑的领导者来满足的。LEED有一个单独的信用体系,用于评估各种可持续性要求的绩效。因此,对建筑设计和施工的LEED第3版评级工具进行了分析,以确定联合国可持续发展目标和LEED信用之间的联系。在建立相互联系后,研究人员开发了一个澳大利亚新建建筑实现特定可持续发展目标的评分系统。建筑业对“可持续发展目标6清洁水和卫生”、“可持续发展指标7负担得起的清洁能源”、“SDG 12负责任消费”、“特殊发展目标13气候变化”和“可持续发展标准15陆地生活”等目标产生了重大影响。最后,考虑到所有影响,建立了对发展的综合贡献(CCDI)作为评估建筑物的基线,其值为9.58。这一基准可以作为评估新建筑是否对联合国可持续发展目标做出积极贡献的指南。

ABSTRACT Occupancy monitoring in smart buildings has great potential to improve their operational performance. One of the most common applications concerns the dynamic adaptation of indoor conditions according to the occupancy variation. However, other implementations are possible. Occupancy data could also enhance maintenance smart contracts management, especially if coupled with a contracts’ management system as blockchain through which it is possible to achieve higher reliability and trust in transactions. In this article, a methodology to monitor occupancy data with a low-cost network, composed by a set of ultrasonic sensors, is presented. To ensure the collection of consistent data, different tests were performed for defining a convenient configuration for their installation. Following the proposed methodology, gathered data are processed and stored into a digital asset model associated with the building maintenance plan. Once a predefined threshold is reached, the system triggers a maintenance alert to the contractor to activate cleaning operations. The proposed approach enables an enhancement of the automation of maintenance management operations in a cost-effective manner. However, further validation trials are required to test the flexibility of its application in different space types.
智能建筑的占用监控在提高其运行性能方面具有巨大的潜力。最常见的应用之一是根据占用率的变化动态适应室内条件。然而,其他实现也是可能的。入住率数据还可以增强维护智能合约管理,特别是如果与区块链等合同管理系统相结合,可以实现更高的交易可靠性和信任度。本文提出了一种利用一组超声传感器组成的低成本网络监测入住率数据的方法。为了确保收集一致的数据,执行了不同的测试,以便为它们的安装定义方便的配置。按照提出的方法,收集的数据被处理并存储到与建筑维护计划相关的数字资产模型中。一旦达到预定义的阈值,系统就会触发维护警报,通知承包商启动清洁操作。建议的方法能以具成本效益的方式,加强维修管理作业的自动化。然而,需要进一步的验证试验来测试其在不同空间类型中应用的灵活性。

ABSTRACT This paper approaches the technology of artificial intelligence (hereinafter AI) as a design-based praxis emerging from the domain of arts and humanities. The problematic of AI as a design instead of for a design has been approached through the stages of ephemeral interactive and immersive media installations and their permanent physicalizations as in media museums. Through some forty-eight interactive and immersive media installations that exemplify the physicalization of immaterial humanistic characteristics of senses, experiences, emotions and memories, and by studying their permanent physicalized hybridizations as in media museums, this paper attempts to build a pioneering case that AI can also be exploited as a design instead of its traditional image of for a design. The inclusion of Japanese perspectives in this case acts as a reminder of particular design traits resulting in the enrichment of this study instead of as being a discriminative indicator.
摘要本文探讨了人工智能技术(以下简称人工智能)作为一种新兴于艺术和人文领域的基于设计的实践。人工智能作为一种设计而不是一种设计的问题已经通过短暂的互动和沉浸式媒体装置的阶段以及它们在媒体博物馆中的永久物理化来解决。通过大约四十八个互动和沉浸式媒体装置,这些装置体现了感官、体验、情感和记忆的非物质人文特征的物理化,并通过研究它们在媒体博物馆中的永久物理化混合,本文试图建立一个开创性的案例,即人工智能也可以被用作设计,而不是其传统的设计形象。在这种情况下,日本视角的加入提醒了我们特定的设计特征,从而丰富了这项研究,而不是一个歧视性的指标。

ABSTRACT Electric vehicles (EVs) emerged as a promising technology to cater sustainable transportation. The inadequacy of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) leads to diminishing EV customer delight. Public hotspots have recognized as the best locations to establish EVCSs if feasible. Hence, this research focuses on the prospect of establishing public hotspot-based EVCSs in Sri Lanka. A literature review was conducted to explore the factors to be considered for the establishment under six feasibility aspects. The mixed approach was used, including a questionnaire survey with EV users and interviews with stakeholders representing public authorities, charging equipment suppliers, owners of dedicated EVCSs, and managerial personnel of public hotspots-based EVCSs. Content analysis was involved to evaluate stakeholders’ opinions and relative importance index was involved to rank identified public hotspots. Economic feasibility was supported by cost–benefit analysis, while carbon footprint calculation was conducted to analyse the environmental feasibility. The results revealed hotels as the most suitable public hotspot. Zoos were identified as the least suitable public hotspots. The economic feasibility revealed a value of more than one in benefit–cost ratio and positive net present value. Moreover, the other feasibility aspects confirmed public hotspots-based EVCSs as a feasible initiative in Sri Lanka.
摘要电动汽车(EV)是一种很有前途的可持续交通技术。电动汽车充电站(EVCS)的不足导致电动汽车客户的满意度下降。公共热点地区已被公认为在可行的情况下建立EVCS的最佳地点。因此,本研究的重点是在斯里兰卡建立基于公共热点的EVCS的前景。进行了文献综述,从六个可行性方面探讨了建立该机构需要考虑的因素。采用混合方法,包括对电动汽车用户进行问卷调查,并采访代表公共当局、充电设备供应商、专用电动汽车车主和基于公共热点的电动汽车管理人员的利益相关者。内容分析用于评估利益相关者的意见,相对重要性指数用于对已确定的公共热点进行排名。经济可行性得到了成本效益分析的支持,而碳足迹计算则用于分析环境可行性。结果显示,酒店是最合适的公共热点。动物园被确定为最不适合的公共热点。经济可行性揭示了效益成本比和正净现值的一个以上的价值。此外,其他可行性方面证实了基于公共热点的EVCS在斯里兰卡是一项可行的举措。
