Assessment Index System

Presently the sustainable development stratagem has made the green buildings to be a trend of building industry in China, and the assessment to the green buildings is becoming more and more important in developing the green buildings. In this paper the meaning of the green building assessment is explained, several main domestic and foreign green building assessment systems are analyzed and compared, and the common ground and limitations of these assessment methods are presented. Then a novel assessment index system which is more comprehensive, scientific and suitable for green buildings in China is developed by using the life cycle assessment method. This system contains six categories including land saving and outdoor environment, energy saving and utilization, material saving and utilization, water saving and utilization, indoor environment quality and economy. According to the decision-making stage, design stage, construction stage, operation and maintenance stage, each category is divided into more concrete indexes. At last the established assessment system is used to evaluate a typical building in Xi’an, China. The final novel assessment index system is of theoretical and practical significance for the assessment and development of green buildings in China.

Green buildings can have a more significant impact on their occupant health and productivity through improving indoor environment quality. However, post-occupancy studies invariably pointed out that green buildings were not always more comfortable and productive than non-green buildings. The article presents a comparison study between three buildings in Shenzhen aiming to examine the actual performance of green buildings from occupant point of view. The two green buildings marked a higher satisfaction on the health and productivity perception. However, in-depth examinations on IEQs showed some weaknesses in the two green buildings. On the comfort and satisfaction with the indoor air and temperature, the two green buildings performed better in summer but worse in winter. One of the two green buildings had significantly more noise from different sources than the conventional building. The other green building was significantly less satisfactory on the lighting environment than the conventional building. Implications were discussed for the green building designs and operations.

ABSTRACT To accommodate its increasing population, the Myanmar government has planned to implement smart city projects in Yangon and Mandalay by 2021 and to build 1 million homes by 2030. However, such projected growth does not coincide with Myanmar’s current level of preparedness for sustainable development. Myanmar presently has no standards and specifications for green buildings; it solely relies on the adoption of those from overseas, which may not always be compatible with the unique context of Myanmar. Hence, this study was aimed to identify appropriate green building assessment indicators for Myanmar as an important first step for future rating system development. Nine categories and forty-eight criteria were initially identified by reviewing the widely adopted seven rating systems and investigating existing certified green buildings. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) was used to determine and rank the importance levels of the identified assessment indicators. Results showed that “energy efficiency” and “water efficiency” are the most crucial categories with weights of 17.48% and 13.95%, respectively. Compared to other rating system standards, “waste and pollution” was distinctively found as an important category for Myanmar. Energy-efficient architectural design was ranked as the highest priority among all criteria. These findings serve as a building block for the future development of a Myanmar green building rating system by revealing assessment categories and criteria that are most relevant to Myanmar’s built environment.

In response to international concern about climate change and environmental degradation, the Korean government recently began developing the new concept of the Green Building Index (GBI), which represents the overall quality of green buildings. As the initial stage of the developmental process, this research contrastively analyzed two green building comprehensive assessment methods: the Weighted Total Comprehensive Method (GBCC method) and Relative Efficiency Comprehensive Method (CASBEE method), by reconstituting GBCC with the concept of CASBEE and performing calculations in order to understand the characteristics of these methods. The analysis results demonstrated that there were big differences between the two methods. Even though the two buildings received the same total, they are not the same with respect to environmental efficiency, because the ratios of environmental quality (Q) and environmental load (L) in the total gain score were different. Therefore, when setting the grading standard, the characteristics of different comprehensive methods should be considered in order to make GBI a more rational and agreeable representative index.

The Subject

In a course of thermodynamics, in general, and gas turbine analysis, in particular as stand alone or within a cogeneration situation, teaching within the concepts of energy or exergy has become controversial particularly since most teachers of thermodynamics at the undergraduate level are not too familiar with the advantages of exergy analysis and thus do not cover the material from that point of view. In this paper, we will go through the pedagogical implications of teaching thermodynamics using both approaches and attempt to show and convince people that exergetic analyses are superior to any other approach in the teaching of thermodynamics. The bottom line and the ultimate goal is the precise teaching of the subject matter.

This paper briefly analyses the differentiation of the Green Building Assessment Scheme between America and China from the national environment angle to demonstrate the importance of government guidance in the development of green buildings. The establishment of LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) mainly complies with the regulation of market mechanisms. On the contrary, China’s Green Building Assessment Scheme “GB/T 50738” cannot entirely rely on the market mechanism due to the national environment. In order to improve the GB/T 50738 to meet Green Building development in China, several suggestions have been proposed in the paper to increase the efficiency and practicality of GB/T 50738 implementations.

Abstract The article presents an analysis of international and national “green” buildings certification systems from the point of view of the possibility of their use in the Arctic territories. The groups of criteria that are typical for most certification systems, as well as the most significant groups of criteria for all considered assessment systems, have been identified. The main groups of criteria were correlated with the requirements for buildings of the settlements sustainable development program and with the stages of the buildings and structures life cycle. As a result of the performed analysis, conclusions were formulated about the need to focus on certain key and characteristic criteria or their groups for the Arctic territories in the system of environmental assessment of buildings.

Operational Costs

Flats are one of the government's solution to provide decent housing for low-income people. However, as mostly flats overlook energy efficiency aspects, residents must pay high rental and operational costs. Therefore, this paper aims to study the principles of green buildings, especially in the building envelope that can bear the operating costs of flats with the case study on the A-B-C Tower of Tambora Flats. The A-B-C Tower of Tambora Flats is one of the flats building in Jakarta that has rental cost issues. This study employed the EDGE application that provided energy saving values in the application of green building principles, such as building mass and orientation, wall and roof finishing materials, natural shading and ventilation elements. From these values, it was only the application of green building principles that was significant for the Tambora flats. The results of this study revealed that the optimization of natural ventilation for flats was still important and having a significant impact on energy savings
