Environmental Behaviours

A green building has a long lasting benefit through cultivating the occupants’ energy and resource-saving behaviours. To understand how green buildings can cultivate occupants’ pro-environment behaviours, the research applied the value–belief–norm model to investigate 17 pro-environmental behaviours which are related to a variety of green building design strategies. Two green and two non-green certified office buildings in the city of Shenzhen in China were surveyed, based on which structural equation modelling was established to confirm the relationship between personal values, environmental beliefs and norms that lead to pro-environment behaviours. Green and non-green building occupants showed significant differences in altruistic values, environmental awareness, personal norms, and pro-environmental behaviours. Green building users had more frequent pro-environmental behaviours than those in non-green buildings. The strategies that require fewer additional efforts were more likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours, such as meeting daily needs within walking distance and adjusting sunshades, while the strategies that need extra physical efforts (taking stairs) or knowledge (garbage sorting) were less likely to be adopted as pro-environmental behaviours. This study pointed out important intervention opportunities and discussed the possible design implications for green building guidelines and programmes to cultivate green occupants and their corresponding pro-environmental behaviours.

Heat Events

This project examined evidence linking green building design strategies with the potential to enhance community resilience to extreme heat events. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for a systematic review, it assessed the strength of the evidence supporting the potential for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credit requirements to reduce the adverse effects of extreme heat events and/or enhance a building’s passive survivability (i.e., the ability to continue to function during utility outages) during those events. The PRISMA Flow Diagram resulted in the selection of 12 LEED for New Construction (LEED NC) credits for inclusion in the review. Following a preliminary scan of evidence supporting public health co-benefits of the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system, queries were submitted in PubMed using National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings Terms. Queries identified links between LEED credit requirements and risk of exposure to extreme heat, environmental determinants of health, co-benefits to public health outcomes, and co-benefits to built environment outcomes. Public health co-benefits included reducing the risk of vulnerability to heat stress and reducing heat-related morbidity and mortality. The results lay the groundwork for collaboration across the public health, civil society, climate change, and green building sectors.

Green building evaluation standards provide references for green building design. This paper did comparative and empirical research on evaluation points and design strategies of Chinese Green Building Evaluation Standard and American LEED-NC 2009, and analyzed the differences between their orientation and applicability. The conclusion shows that the strategy of GBES is more suitable for local green buildings in China.

For developing regional green building, it is very important to absorb the traditional architectural conception of energy conservation. Based on this, this article discusses a series of regional green building design strategies focusing on four aspects. First is responding to regional material, includes making use of local materials, modern renewal of traditional material, reuse of waste materials. Second is responding to regional natural climate, includes “closed insulation + solar energy use”, "ventilation + sunshade", "active ventilation + shade + activities insulation" and active utilization strategy. Third is responding to terrain elements, includes minimum of terrain environment damage and reduction of earthwork volume. Last is responding to regional culture, including expression of traditional materials, restructuring of traditional construction, modern interpretation of traditional regional.

And Performance

Acoustic quality is important in ensuring a healthy and workable working environment. One of green buildings main objective is to reduce the building impact on human health and performance. This was emphasized in most green building rating system under its requirement for Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). IEQ highlights the four main points for achieving an improved indoor environment: indoor air quality, acoustics, visual comfort (lighting) and thermal comfort. Although acoustics was mentioned in the IEQ criteria, according to previous surveys and studies; acoustics quality in green buildings were not improving. It seems as though in order to improve on other green building criteria, acoustics performance is bound to become poorer. Through review of previous literature, survey and studies on acoustical performance in green buildings, the objective of this paper is to identify how green building design strategies contribute to the degradation of acoustical environment in green office buildings. Findings shows that design strategies implemented to cater for other green building requirements such as natural ventilation, daylight, reduction of finishes and office layout have unintentionally decrease the acoustical quality.

Intelligent green building (IGB) industry has received considerable global recognition due to the rapid development of advanced technology, intelligent materials, innovative products, and services in recent years. Although various cross-domain experiments and practices with respect to IGB projects are ready for operation, the notion and benefits of IGB are still ambiguous and debatable. The purpose of this study is to apply a Kano quality model and a customer satisfaction matrix to evaluate professional designers’ and general users’ satisfaction, preferences, and acceptability of IGB design strategies. The study result reveals that the proposed approach could be a useful tool to explore similarities and discrepancies of strategy preferences between designers and users, and these findings could effectively decrease the communication gap for future IGB design.
