Early Stage Design

To reduce the energy and resource consumption in the building sector this study is focusing on a design optimisation of life cycle oriented buildings. In order to optimise the performance of the buildings and in consequence also to achieve improved results for the mandatory Austrian energy certificate a simulation-based rapid design approach is used for the early stage design phase of the buildings, in particular for the architectural design of the buildings.Methods like the Window to Wall Ratio, at the very beginning of the design process, a parametric simulation with EnergyPlus or a more detailed optimisation approach with GenOpt are integrated in this study applied to example buildings. The results are showing that the method can be used in a circular approach for improving the heating demand of the Austrian energy certificate for this case study by more than 25 % compared to the preliminary design

The Sustainable Development

With increasingly serious energy crisis, the construction industry is one of the three major energy consumption industries. How to realize the sustainable development of energy, promote energy-saving building, realize ecological urban development, have become the focus of construction industry. This paper analyzes and discusses the energy saving measures should be taken into consideration when the different architectural design phase and the two kinds of optimization problem under arbitrary axisymmetric load.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose building code changes that would benefit both architectural design and the potential of achieving nearly zero energy goals by analyzing the architectural implications of the energy system boundaries within the Swedish code. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is driven by three questions that relate the national implementation of EU directive on nearly zero energy 2020 to the premises set out in the guidelines for revising the Swedish building code aiming at a performance-based regulation. A crucial part of the research is a comparative analysis of the design implications of the code to research findings in scientific articles on near-zero energy or low-energy design. Findings – The energy system boundaries in the Swedish code are steering the architectural design and energy consequences of offices towards using less heat but more electricity. The energy section is also limiting the architectural design choices by ignoring the positive energy aspects of daylight. A proposal of a new comprehensive energy section taking all architectural design related energy aspects into account is presented, in order to support design of nearly zero energy buildings. Practical implications – A building code that relates the energy system boundaries to form will help integrated design choices that are more likely to support the strive towards nearly zero energy buildings. Originality/value – The paper reveals the design implication of the Swedish energy section to be counterproductive regarding energy efficiency as well as limiting architectural design choices.

According to the target of a science center building, some energy-saving technologies and relevant principles phases in architectural planning and design phase, architectural design and construction phase, and so on. With the requirements of energy-saving technologies and an environmental protection technology, some successful experience of Guangdong science center which named as the largest science center building of current China discussed. As a result, the energy-saving science center building design methods came into being, which includes natural ventilation techniques of central yard, optimization technology of enclosed structure, photoelectric curtain wall technology and solar power and so on.

<p>Previous New Zealand waste management studies have focused on the waste generated from construction activities. However, international research suggests about a third of the overall waste generated originates in the design phase. Internationally, lean design management claims to reduce the waste produced by inefficient design practices. In New Zealand, the literature reveals that the application of lean principles is still in a fledgling state, and even where they are used, waste minimization is not a business priority. This leads to the question: can lean design management be used by construction projects in New Zealand to reduce waste in the design phase? This paper investigates the attitudes, experiences and expectations towards construction waste minimization of a selection of architects using a semi-structured questionnaire. It was found that Wellington-based architects can be broadly classified into 3 categories of lean awareness—high, medium, and low. The medium group, largest in number, comprised architects who identified waste as a problem, but cited post-construction recycling and reuse as their preferred approach to waste minimization. This group notably had 20-25 years of experience in the industry, and related material reuse to residential construction only.</p>
