Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the usability of design reviews to inform designers about low carbon technologies and building performance. The design review of three domestic and two non-domestic case studies are evaluated. Design/methodology/approach – Data collection and analysis methods include interviews and meetings with design teams and contractors, design tools audit and revision of drawings and project documentation. In addition, building's envelope and systems, and in-use performance evaluations are used to inform design teams about the actual performance of the buildings. Findings – This study showed that targets and intentions defined in the design process are not always compatible or reality checked. These contradictions between targets within a project can undermine the performance of a building. The design review can identify unrealistic expectations to assess fairly the performance of buildings. The study showed that changes made during construction to the original design are related to lack of specifications or experience with low carbon technologies. Design reviews can help designers to identify the knowledge gaps within their practice. Furthermore, the results showed that building-related energy consumption was close to expectations, while user-related consumption was higher than expected due to occupancy assumptions made during the design. The design review showed that designers require more knowledge about buildings’ in-use performance in order to take informed-based design decisions. Originality/value – This paper showed the main stages of a design review, and their usability to assess building performance and to inform designers. The results of this study suggest that designs can benefit from design reviews by learning about low carbon technologies installation and building's operation.

Abstract:
With the continuous innovation and reform of the construction industry, the research methods of seismic performance of high-rise building structures have changed. The effect of seismic performance affects the quality and safety of high-rise buildings. For another, earthquake disasters threaten people's life and property safety, and also affect building safety. The seismic performance of buildings should be fully considered in the structural design of high-rise buildings, strictly control the key points of seismic design and improve the seismic performance of high-rise building structures. Combined with the content of seismic performance design of high-rise buildings, this paper discusses the problems existing in the design, and puts forward the corresponding solutions.

Full text
Abstract:
Energy-efficient building retrofits must be approached from three perspectives: law regulation approach, financial incentives approach, and practice approach. The concepts of zero energy building and life cycle energy building are presented as the basis for energy retrofits. Multi-criteria boards to assess the decision-making process are reviewed, analysed, and categorised under an architectonic perspective. Some examples are presented, with different packages of measures, from deep to non-invasive energy retrofits. Passive and active energy generation systems, together with control and management strategies, are the physical elements identified with the potential to improve buildings’ energy efficiency. From a practice approach, this literature review identifies the concept of performance-based architectural design to optimise the planning and design of buildings’ energy retrofits. In addition, tools such as Building Information Modelling are described as part of optimisation processes, as they enable designers to rapidly analyse and simulate a building’s performance at the design stage.

Abstract:
Abstract Buildings are designed with the intent of lasting for a certain period of time. Building maintenance in different building typology is described as multi-faceted activities which involve planning, directing, controlling and organizing resources for the sustenance of the building’s physical, functional and operational performance. The research focused on ways cost of maintaining a building was done, effectively or efficiently with the influence of the design approach used. Literatures of works pertaining to building maintenance were reviewed to identify the various impacts, influences that a building design would have on the cost of maintaining any building type. Maintenance departments of educational institutions were surveyed and data analyzed. The study revealed that maintenance culture of buildings could either be positive or negative, based on the quality of design approach used. The study recommends a proper review of building codes and regulations by organizations intending to erect building structures with a view of designers to specified standards and prevent excess maintenance cost in the future.

Abstract:
In recent years, increasingly prominent energy and environmental problems have pushed for higher requirements for buildings’ energy saving. According to the conventional energy-saving design method, the cooperative operation between architects, structural and equipment engineers and other professionals cannot run smoothly, so the energy-saving and emission reduction efficiency of the whole building cannot be improved effectively. The integrated design process (IDP) is a systematic method, which is applied in the scheme design stage and according to which the multi-level design factors of cities and buildings are considered comprehensively. It provides a concrete path of multi-specialty collaborative operation for the building’s climate responsive design. In this article, the development, operation process, software platform, evaluation and decision-making methods of the IDP are reviewed in a comprehensive manner. Finally, the prospect of IDP applied to the climate responsive design of buildings is analyzed, and some suggestions for future development are put forward. The IDP framework proposed in the research can provide a reference method for architectural climate responsive design practice and help formulate the future policy of energy-saving design.

Abstract:
In the process of architectural design, there is no special method employed by architects to evaluate buildings’ structural vulnerability and building geometry form designs towards earthquakes. Therefore, the alternative is adapting the existing method called SVA-Retrofit. JBDPA and Matsutaro Seki developed this method, and then the author adapted this method now called SVA Architectural Design. In the process of adaptation, deep literature review was conducted in order to acquire the adaptation results of the SVA-Architectural Design. These results can furthermore be an early prediction of structural vulnerability toward earthquakes that eventually leads to finding solutions for building designs or conducting detailed analysis done by structure experts.

Abstract:
Sustainable building involves reducing negative environmental impacts with a simultaneous increase in life quality. The aim is to optimize building performances while considering all aspects of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social. The building structure determines the building’s performances, and it should be designed and evaluated as a subsystem of the building, in line with the objectives of the system–building. This paper investigates structural design based on integrated design objectives within the criterion of social benefits for users throughout the use phase of the building, focusing on protection and safety, aspects of comfort, spatial organization, spatial adaptability, and maintenance. The problem was studied using integrative literature review methodology and system theory. The main findings of the research are a review and critical analysis of the representative literature and the derived conceptual framework for structural design based on the criterion of social benefits for building users, which should support more comprehensive and more efficient decision-making during systemic design and optimization of buildings. The presented integrated literature review indicates the need for the application of a systemic approach to structural design in order to create sustainable buildings.

In the preceding article, I reviewed two seismic design codes of the Building Standard Law of Japan, revised in 1981 and 2000, with the transition of Japanese seismic design codes. Having read the 1974 review by Dr. Makoto Watabe, I was most impressed by his comprehensive understanding of seismic structural systems for buildings – an understanding that is fresh even today, more than 3 decades later. He moves from the basic principles for seismic building design to earthquake-resistant properties of building. The general seismic design principles of buildings he has reviewed are very sound and introduced both in current seismic design codes I have reviewed and the seismic design of super high-rise buildings over 60 m high.

Abstract:
This paper presents the theoretical review of the importance of landscape design in the execution of green and sustainable buildings as a trend of current development concept. Instead of beautifying the environment, strategic landscape design may help to prevent from extensive building heat gain, reduce the energy and water consumption as well as produce the natural and healthy ambience to the surrounding. Landscape design in green buildings should be viewed as not just mere decorative afterthought but it must be well conceived as a multi-function factor that provides various critical green services for a building including water efficiency and energy efficiency. The framework covers two main aspects which are green wall or vertical landscape design and roof top garden. The aim of the paper is to highlight the demand for the proper landscape design that should be provided in any development of sustainable buildings. It is hoped that the paper will contribute to further enrich the landscape design innovation as part of green and sustainable building design.

Abstract:
Reducing and managing the environmental impacts of building structures has become a priority of building stakeholders and within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) community; although, conflicting approaches and methods to combat the issues are present. For example, green building standards are widespread throughout the world; however each one has its own characteristics and consequently its own specific requirements. While all have proven to be effective rating systems and have similar requirements, the distinguishing characteristic that separates them is their treatment of performance and prescriptive metrics. The feature they all severely lack or currently limit is the inclusion of strict engineering evaluation through energy simulations; hence, the reason why they fail to offer procedural steps to meet performance metrics. How can design professionals design energy efficient buildings with such constraints? Fortunately, advances in technology have allowed design professionals access to content found in Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, extracting pertinent information for specific use in energy analysis is problematic because BIM software currently available is filled with interoperability issues when placed in external software for energy analysis and energy analysis software itself is created with many assumptions that affect the tabulated energy results. This research investigates current building rating systems, determines how current professionals meet energy requirements, and prove that it is possible to create an add-on feature to Autodesk Revit that will allow design professionals to extract the needed information to meet energy goals with actual prescribed methods of mechanical systems selection and evaluation.

Abstract:
This degree project aims to investigate the potential and possibilities for conceptual energyanalyses in the early stages of the design process. Many key decisions are made in theearly stages of a project regarding the shape and orientation of the building. Conceptualenergy analyses can provide the architects with insight regarding different design option’srelative energy performance.As the demands for more sustainable buildings increases, so does the need for earlyenergy analyses. Performing analyses in the early stage requires many assumptions andguesswork which could lead to a large margin of error.The offering from Autodesk is a module in Revit Architecture/MEP and the stand aloneprogram Project Vasari (under development). It is an interesting tool for architects with aneasy and quick work flow and can easily be implemented in today’s design process.The analysis of the results generated shows that the program has a margin of error thatmake some of the features less useful. Comparing the results with an analysis done in amore established and sophisticated software suggests that the result at this stage cannot betrusted.

Mestrado em Engenharia Civil
O setor de construção tem vindo a crescer consideravelmente desde a revolução industrial, contribuindo para o aumento dos impactes ambientais na Terra, tais como o aquecimento global, smog, e mudanças climáticas. Como tal, são necessários edifícios mais sustentáveis para reduzir esses impactes. De facto, como a indústria da construção se inicia com a escolha dos materiais a aplicar, a seleção de materiais com menores impactes ambientais e com uma elevada durabilidade são essenciais para alcançar uma construção mais sustentável, particularmente se integrados logo nas fases iniciais de projeto. Durante o século passado, o conceito de sustentabilidade e as suas estratégias desenvolveram-se significativamente, proporcionando à comunidade cientifica e técnica diversas metodologias e sistemas com o intuito de promover edifícios verdadeiramente sustentáveis, tais como ACV, e sistemas de avaliação da sustentabilidade como o BREEAM e o LEED. Por outro lado, o setor da construção assistiu nos últimos anos a uma revolução tecnológica com a introdução da metodologia Building Information Modelling - BIM. Com efeito, é uma metodologia na qual as especialidades de arquitetura e engenharia estão integradas, podendo ser modeladas e geridas ao mesmo tempo, no mesmo ficheiro e no mesmo ambiente, desde as fases iniciais do projeto. Assim, esta visão mais sistemática e organizada tem a potencialidade de diminuir os erros na fase da construção e da operação. Este trabalho analisou o edifício do Departamento de Comunicação e Arte da Universidade de Aveiro, que foi concebido como um edifício sustentável do ponto de vista energético. A ACV foi utilizada para calcular os impactes ambientais de três diferentes soluções estruturais (mista, metálica e betão armado), numa perspetiva Cradle-to-Cradle, considerando dois períodos de vida útil: 50 anos e 100 anos. Usaram-se ainda duas abordagens de cálculo: (i) a abordagem tradicional de ACV, usando o SimaPro baseado no modelo BIM-3D; e (ii) o BIM-ACV, usando o Tally e o modelo BIM-3D. Esta comparação concluiu que existem vários obstáculos na aplicação da ACV no setor da construção, particularmente no que respeita à (in)existência de bases de dados específicas que influenciam os resultados da ACV. Além disso, essas duas abordagens destacaram as potenciais vantagens que a integração da ACV no BIM poderia ter no setor da construção, em geral, e particularmente para a obtenção da construção sustentável. Concluiu-se, ainda, que a estrutura de betão armado tem menos impactes relativos ao aquecimento global do que as outras que foram também consideradas. Por fim, este trabalho permitiu evidenciar a necessidade e a potencialidade da integração da ACV no BIM no setor de construção. Adicionalmente, conclui-se que é necessário desenvolver uma base de dados nacional de materiais e de técnicas construtivas, de modo a minimizar os erros e a incerteza dos cálculos da ACV, quer usando a abordagem tradicional LCA ou o BIM-ACV.
The buildings’ sector has been growing since the industrial revolution and consequently it has been contributing increasingly to the world negative environmental impacts, such as global warming, smog emissions and climate changes. Thus, more sustainable buildings are needed, since it is essential to reduce the negative impacts of the construction sector. Indeed, since the construction process starts selecting construction materials with less environmental impacts and high durability that are essential to reach more sustainable constructions, particularly when applying it from the early stage of design phase. During the last century, sustainability concept and strategies have been developed significantly, providing the Scientific and Technical community with various methodologies and systems aiming to promote real sustainable buildings, such as LCA, and labelling and assessing systems like BREEAM and LEED. On the other hand, the construction and design sectors have recently been facing a new technology revolution with the Building Information Modelling – BIM, approach. In fact, BIM is a methodology in which the architectural and engineering areas can be modelled, cooperated and managed at the same time, in the same file and environment and since the early stages of the design. Thus, BIM provides less errors in the construction and operation phases in a much more organised and systematic approach. This work analyses the building of Communication and Art Department of the University of Aveiro, which was designed as a sustainable building according the energy efficiency. LCA methodology was used to calculate the environmental impacts of three different structural solutions (mixed, steel and concrete) in a Cradle-to-Cradle perspective, considering two life spans: a 50-year life span and a 100-year one. Throughout this case study, applying LCA in the construction sector was experienced using two approaches: (i) LCA traditional approach using SimaPro and BIM-3D model; and (ii) BIM-based LCA using Tally and BIM- 3D model. This comparison showed that there are various obstacles when applying LCA in the construction sector, particularly the (in)existence of specific database, since they influence LCA results. Moreover, those two approaches highlighted the potential advantages that LCA integration with BIM could add to the construction sector, in general, and particularly to sustainable construction. This study also concludes that the concrete structure has less global warming impacts than the others that were considered. Finally, this work showed the necessity and the potentiality of integrating LCA in BIM in the construction sector. In addition, it concludes the need to develop a national database of construction materials and techniques that could minimise the errors and the uncertainty of LCA calculations whether using LCA traditional approach or BIM-based approach.

Abstract:
This study examines the use of building modeling and energy simulations in the design process  of  a  building.  The  take-off  point  is  the  notion  of  energy  simulations  being needed early and throughout the building design process, and that the lack of energy simulations may be explained by the fact that they are time consuming and therefore often too expensive. A greater interoperability between software tools used by relevant disciplines,  such  as  the  architect  and  the  energy  specialist,  would  create  smoother workflows, which would reduce this cost and open up for more frequent and iterative energy  simulation  processes.  The  study  is  an  assessment  of  the  modeling  tool  Revit and  the  simulation  tool  Virtual  Environment  and  whether  they  can  create  smoother workflows, and make leeway for a more frequent use of energy simulations throughout the  design  process.  It  also  investigates  the  limitations  of  what  can  be  examined  by simulations in Virtual Environment. This will hopefully help clarify the future role of energy  simulations  in  design  processes.  The  method  is  a  trial  by  error  approach  of testing the two software tools by building and simulating a model. The results of these tests  show  that  the  workflow  is  not  optimal  (and  therefore  time  consuming)  for frequent  and  iterative simulations  throughout the  design  process,  but  it  also  reveals some  great  possibilities  of  what  can  be  performed  with  these  two  powerful  tools  at hand.  Further  development  with  regards  on  platform  independency  of  the  building information  model,  including  seamless  exporting  and  importing,  seems  necessary  to strengthen the future role of energy simulations.

Abstract:
En unik presentation av en byggnad modellerad som en 3D-modell kan göras med avancerad teknik. Ett sätt att presentera den på är till exempel på en 360-graders immersiv display, där möjligheten att interaktivt ”gå runt i” 3D-modellen erbjuds med hjälp av sex stycken projektorer som samverkar. Detta presentationssätt har Norrköpings visualiseringscenter som mål att erbjuda. För att göra detta krävs det att man tar hjälp av programvaror för realtidsvisualisering. En av dessa kan vara Unity 5 som är en spelmotor. Målet med examensarbetet är att hitta tillvägagångssätt och strategier för att effektiv integrera en 3D-modell av en byggnad i Unity 5. För att göra detta så tillämpas en teknisk undersökning med observationer som metod. Denna undersökning visar att en integration för att återspegla modellen modellerad i Revit till programvarusystem för realtidsvisualisering kan utföras. Återspeglingen är ett faktum som får tas i relation till integrationens helhet och kan inte bli exakt. Frågan är om den kan utföras effektivt nog för vad som Norrköpings visualiseringscenter vill kunna erbjuda. Vilket den kan om modellens uppbyggnad, storlek och projektbegränsningar är rimliga i förhållande till tid och kostnad. Det är dessa aspekter som avgör om integrationen kan utföras effektivt. Kunskap om hur integrationen ska gå till med alla materialinställningar som behövs är dessutom en väsentlig faktor.

Abstract:
The European standard Eurocode 5, a design method for timber structures,is currently under revision. In this study the draft for a reviseddesign method for vibrations in timber floors was compared to the currentmethod. The hypothesis of the thesis was that the revised designmethod might force some changes to the present construction practiceand that these changes may carry with them increased costs for the industry.Six common floor structures used in Sweden today were identifiedand for these floors design calculations were made according to the currentand the revised design method. It was checked whether the floorspassed the criteria in the two design methods and a comparison was madefor the only criterion which could be compared between the methods, thepoint load deflection. Floor structures could pass or fail the current designmethod based on two criteria, the point load deflection and the unitimpulse velocity response. All floors passed the current design methodexcept one which had a fundamental frequency below 8 Hz, because ofthe low frequency the current design method was not applicable to thefloor structure. In the revised design method the final result is a responsefactor and based on the response factor floors are given floor performancelevels. The seven step scale for the floor performance level go from I toVII where I is excellent and VII is unacceptable. All floor structures excepttwo achieved an acceptable floor performance level according to therevised design method. The two floors which failed were floors commonlyused in single family houses, they failed for a span length commonly usedtoday. A limited parametric study was performed where it was found thatthe modal mass used had a larger impact on the floor performance levelthan the mass per square meter included. For floors with a fundamentalfrequency above 8 Hz, including a higher mass per square meter resultedin a lower, i.e. better, response factor in all cases except one. For floorswith a fundamental frequency between 4.5 and 8 Hz, a higher mass resultedin a higher, i.e. worse, response factor. The study found that notall floor structures used in Sweden today are acceptable according to therevised design method therefore changes may have to be implemented andthese changes could result in an increased cost.

Abstract:
En stor del av projekteringsskedet är framtagandet av bygghandlingar, främst ritningar i 2D. En modernare metod är istället att samla all information om ett byggnadsprojekt i en samordnad 3D-modell, så kallad BIM-modell. Building Information Modeling (BIM) är en välkänd projekteringsmetod som bygger på att digitala 3D-modeller innehåller tillräcklig information för att beställas och produceras i fysisk form. Modellen består av parametrar som representerar olika egenskaper och när en parameter ändras uppdateras modellen automatiskt. Parametrarna kan nås och modifieras av insticksprogram, så kallade plug-ins som utökar den ursprungliga programvarans funktionalitet med hjälp av programkod. Grafisk programmering är en modern programmeringsmetod med ett visuellt gränssnitt som underlättar för oerfarna användare. Med hjälp av grafisk programmering kan parameterstyrning av 3D-modeller effektiviseras och värdefull tid sparas. Av denna anledning har Dynamo, ett plug-in utvecklat av företaget Autodesk för Revit, studerats för att ta fram ett så kallat skript som automatiserar 3D-modelleringsprocesser i Revit kopplat till placering av armering i pålfundament. Dessutom har möjligheter till standardisering undersökts, samt för- och nackdelar med metoden. I detta examensarbete redogörs för potentialen med Dynamo och de skript som skapats genom en empirisk studie. En enklare fallstudie utfördes för att kunna åskådliggöra graden av tidsbesparing gentemot motsvarande arbete manuellt i Revit. För att komplettera armeringsskripten togs beräkningsmallar fram som, enligt fackverksmetoden och Eurokod 2, försåg skripten med korrekt indata. Resultatet av projektet visar på att Dynamo och grafisk programmering kan effektivisera armeringsplacering i pålfundament. Graden av effektivisering beror på varje enskilt fall, men fallstudien visade på ca 85–90% sparad tid. En generell slutsats pekar mot att ju mer komplicerad utformning av armering desto mer tid finns att spara. Då grafisk programmering bygger på automatisering av arbetsprocesser av upprepande karaktär finns stor potential för att standardisera projektering med hjälp av dynamoskript. Företag kan då skapa rutiner som ökar kontinuitet och kvalitet i sina projekt. Automatiseringen leder även till färre mänskliga fel och utförandet blir effektivare. Uppdragsgivaren uppmanas att vidareutveckla metoden genom att implementera tydliga rutiner vad gäller 3D-modellering med grafisk programmering, samt undersöka möjligheten med automatiserad armering i andra bärande konstruktioner.
Most of the time spent on project planning is dedicated to the development of construction documents, mainly 2D-drawings. A more modern method is to gather all information about a building project in a coordinated 3D-model, so called BIM-model. Building information modelling (BIM) is a well-known design method based on a digital 3D model having enough information to enable procurement work and actual production. The model consists of parameters that represent different properties and when a parameter is changed, the model is updated automatically. These parameters can be accessed and modified through external programs, so called plug-ins that extend the original software’s functionality using program code. Visual programming is a modern programming method which utilizes a visual interface that favours users with little or no experience. Using visual programming, parameter control can be made more efficient and save valuable time. For this reason, Dynamo (a plugin developed by the company Autodesk for Revit), has been studied to create a so-called script that automates 3D modelling processes in Revit linked to placement of reinforcement in pile caps. In addition, possibilities for standardization have been investigated, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the method. With this project, the potential of Dynamo and the scripts created through an empirical study is described, where a relatively simple case study is carried out in order to illustrate the amount of time saved through visual programming compared to corresponding work manually done in Revit. Furthermore, calculation templates were created, according to the strut and tie model and Eurocode 2, to provide the script in Dynamo with the correct inputs. The result shows that Dynamo and visual programming can make placement of reinforcement in pile caps more efficient. While the degree of efficiency is case dependent, the case study showed an overall 85-90% time saving. A general conclusion suggests that the more complicated rebar designs, the more time there is to be saved. Since visual programming is based on the automation of repetitive processes, there is great potential to standardize structural design with the help of Dynamo scripts. Companies can thus create routines that increase continuity and quality in their projects. The automation also leads to fewer human errors and a more efficient execution. The client is advised to further develop this method by implementing explicit routines regarding 3D modelling with visual programming and investigate the possibilities of automation of reinforcement design in other load-bearing structures.

Abstract:
<p>Design review has proven effective to avoid human errors in the design process. Since human error is the major cause for structural collapse [1], most countries have implemented procedures for design review in their building legislation. These systems represent the lived building culture in each state and thus work differently. Within the European harmonization process, challenges regarding the integration of different building cultures</p><p>have been discovered. These cultural challenges affect structural safety in a wide array of topics, e.g. technical</p><p>approval of building products.</p><p>In this paper, the effect of differences in the building culture and the way they affect structural safety will be investigated. Furthermore, the effect on the individual due to human factors will be examined and assessed. The goal is to provide a better understanding of the impact of cultural differences on the design review procedure and on the individual.</p>

Abstract:
Despite the current building sector slowdown in Italy, timber housing industry market is growing. But its growth has been limited mainly by the high costs of ad-hoc full-customized buildings and the lack of customer appreciation for mass-produced buildings. In order to satisfy the current demand for affordable customized housing, building industry should focus on solutions based on the combination of personalized and mass-produced parts. In this way, clients would have the chance to personalize crucial parts, and building industry can limit costs by the mass-production of the others. This combination between mass production and customization involves artefact flexibility and robustness with regard to the designer’s viewpoint. These requirements are set in the conceptual design phase, but in this stage architect’s decision making is not adequately supported. Since Axiomatic Design (AD) is able to support the analysis of designs with respect to the specified requirements, AD is applied to the review of prefabricated housing archetypes and current timber construction systems. This study shows the effectiveness of applying AD to prefabricated building design: crucial design decisions that affect the specified requirements are identified; inputs limiting their fulfilment in the timber building prefabrication are highlighted, and recommendations for developing adequate systems are provided.

Abstract:
Operational energy consumption in buildings has a crucial impact on global energy consumption. Nevertheless, significant energy savings can be achieved in buildings if properly designed, constructed, and operated. Building Energy Simulation (BES) plays a vital role in the design and optimisation of buildings. BES is used to compare the cost-effectiveness of energy-conservation measures in the design stage and assess various performance optimisation measures during the operational phase. However, there is a significant ‘performance gap’ between the predicted and the actual energy performance of buildings. This gap has reduced the trust and application of the BES. This article focused on investigating BES, reasons that lead to a performance gap between predicted and actual operational energy consumption of buildings, and the ways of minimising the gap. The article employed a comprehensive literature review as the research methodology. Findings revealed that reasons such as limited understanding of the building design, the complexity of the building design, poor commissioning, occupants’ behaviour, etc., influence the energy performance gap. After that, the strategies have been identified to minimise the energy performance gap such as proper commissioning, creating general models to observe occupants’ behaviour in buildings, and using the general models for energy simulation, ensuring better construction and quality through training and education, etc. Further, the findings of this study could be implemented by practitioners in the construction industry to effectively use energy simulation applications in designing energy-efficient and sustainable buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2020, the University of Dundee initiated the development of an Open Research strategy. As part of this initiative, in February 2021 the University’s Library and Learning Centre together with Open Research Champions from the Schools of Health Sciences and Dentistry, formed an Open Research Working group. To build on the University’s Open Research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion. In June 2021, the Open Research working group, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s Knowledge Mobilization Hub began the development of an Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Toolkit, with funding support from the University of Dundee’s Doctoral Academy and Organisational Professional Development. IKT is an approach to knowledge translation that emphasises working in an engaged and collaborative partnership with stakeholders throughout the research cycle in order to have positive impact. The aim was to co-produce evidence-informed, best practice learning materials on how-to: → maintain ongoing relationships between researchers, community stakeholders and decisionmakers in research development and implementation; and → facilitate an integrated, participatory way of knowledge production whereby researchers, practitioners and other knowledge users can collaborate to co-generate new and accessible knowledge that can be utilised in contexts ranging from supporting community development to policy guidance for practice. The IKT Toolkit was informed by a focused evidence review and synthesis of published peer-reviewed and grey literature and consists of eight knowledge briefs and a slide deck co-produced for use in any discipline or sector. Each knowledge brief provides practical guidance and resources to support an IKT process in each of eight key research stages: (i) Partnership Building; (ii) Generating Priorities and Ideas; (iii) Proposal development; (iv) Study Design; (v) Data Collection; (vi) Data Analysis; (vii) Reporting and (viii) Dissemination. The current knowledge brief provides IKT guidance on Research Stage 1: Partnership Building.

Full text
Abstract:
This Emerging Evidence Report shares evidence of how, for whom, and under what circumstances, Participatory Action Research (PAR) leads to innovative actions. A rapid realist review was undertaken to develop programme theories that explain how PAR generates innovation. The methodology included peer-reviewed and grey literature and moments of engagement with programme staff, such that their input supported the development and refinement of three resulting initial programme theories (IPTs) that we present in this report. Across all three IPTs, safe relational space, group facilitation, and the abilities of facilitators, are essential context and intervention components through which PAR can generate innovation. Implications from the three IPTs for evaluation design of the CLARISSA programme are identified and discussed. The report finishes with opportunities for the CLARISSA programme to start building an evidence base of how PAR works as an intervention modality, such as evidencing group-level conscientisation, the influence of intersecting inequalities, and influence of diverse perspectives coming together in a PAR process.

Abstract:
Building on the success of a UK-based project, Queering Public Space (Catterall & Azzouz 2021), this report refocuses the lens on Australian cities. This is necessary because the histories, legacies and contemporary forms of cities differ across the world, requiring nuanced local insight to ‘usualise’ queerness in public spaces. The report comprises the results of a desk-top research project. First, a thematic literature review (Braun & Clarke 2021) on the experiences of LGBTIQ+ individuals, families and communities in Australian cities was conducted, identifying best practices in inclusive local area policy and design globally. Building upon the findings of the literature review, a set of assessment criteria was developed: – Stakeholder engagement; – Formation of a LGBTIQ+ advisory committee; – Affirming and usualising LGBTIQ+ communities; – Staff training and awareness; and – Inclusive public space design guidelines

Full text
Abstract:
A panel of 32 reviewers analyzed the Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) of same sample of 29 districts for the second year of implementation of the 2013 California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Using the same four questions as the Year 1 report, the Year 2 analysis also addresses the key differences between first and second-year LCAPs. Key findings from the Year 2 LCAPs review include: (1) similarly weak responses to the needs of ELs by LEAs in Year 2; (2) some improvement in clarity about services provided to ELs in some areas, though most evidence was weak; (3) minimal attention to the new English Language Development Standards; (4) minimal investment in teacher capacity building to address EL needs; (5) lack of attention to coherent programs, services and supports for ELs and failure to address issues of program and curriculum access; (6) weak engagement of ELs’ parents in LCAP process and content of LCAP plans; (7) poor employment of EL data to inform LCAP goals and weak use of EL indicators as an LCAP accountability component; (8) lack of specificity in describing district services and site allocations for supplemental and concentration funding; and (9) difficulty identifying the coherence of responses of EL needs in year 2 LCAPs. Overall, the analysis of the 29 LCAPs continue to signal a weak response to EL needs. The authors reassert the urgency of the recommendations in the Year 1 report, offer additional specific recommendations for the state, county offices of education, and districts, and call upon the state to reaffirm the equity commitment in the LCFF design.

Abstract:
The ‘From Emergency Food Security to Durable Livelihoods: Building Resilience in the Occupied Palestinian Territories’ project was implemented in the West Bank, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, between November 2015 and January 2018 by Oxfam, together with two partners: the Land Research Centre (LRC) and the Palestinian Livestock Development Centre (PLDC). The project, funded by the Belgian Cooperation, through Oxfam Italy, focused on improving protection around three key areas at community level to build resilience: supporting animal health, rehabilitating protected rangelands and strengthening community-based legal protection mechanisms. The combination of these key areas is the focus of this Effectiveness Review: the evaluation assesses the impact of this cross-sectorial approach on the resilience capacities of male and female members of Bedouin communities in the West Bank, at risk of displacement. It combines a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a questionnaire with community leaders. Find out more by reading the full report now.
