Abstract:
City image includes people's perceptions of the built and natural environments as well as the emotions and ideas the city arouses in them. In the city image, the preservation of the buildings, especially historical buildings, which carry the past cultures, meaning and structural features of the city to the present day, can be ensured by making these buildings visible and perceptible by the inhabitants. Historical buildings' visibility can facilitate the recognition and appreciation of their historical significance, thereby contributing to the preservation of the city's cultural heritage. This study aims to analyse the visibility of a historical building that holds a significant place in the urban memory and to suggest recommendations for enhancing its visibility. In this context, the viewpoints used to examine the İskenderun Beş Temmuz Primary School Historical Building’s visibility were specified by space syntax visibility graph analysis (VGA). Subsequently, the building's visibility in three different historical periods was determined by the isovists technique, utilizing these viewpoints. Based on the same viewpoints, an observational field study and a survey applied to 47 people were conducted. Consequently, it was identified that the historical building could not be sufficiently seen due to the presence of surrounding service structures, perimeter walls, and high buildings. Furthermore, this study proposed the removal of additional structures that negatively affect historical building's visibility. Additionally, a design approach was developed for new buildings and landscaping to enhance the historical building's visibility, and the efficacy of the proposed design was evaluated through isovists and VGA analyses.

Abstract:
Several studies have analyzed the integration of energy-saving strategies in buildings to mitigate their environmental impact. These studies focused mainly on a disaggregated analysis of such strategies and their effects on the building's energy consumption and thermal behavior, using energy engine simulation software (EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, and DOE2) or graphical interface software (DesignBuilder, eQuest, and ESP-r). However, buildings are complex systems whose energy behavior depends on the interaction of passive (e.g., location and construction materials) and dynamic (e.g., occupation) components. Therefore, this study proposes a composite indicator Building’s Energy Performance (BEP) as an alternative to deal with this complex and multidimensional phenomenon in a simplified way. This indicator considers energy efficiency and thermal comfort. The Electrical Engineering Building (EEB) of the Universidad Industrial de Santander was selected to verify the performance of the BEP indicator. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed for different mathematical aggregation methods and weighting values to test their suitability to reproduce the building behavior. Different simulation scenarios modeled with DesignBuilder software were proposed, in which the energy-saving strategies integrated with the building was individually analyzed. The results confirmed that the integration of the building's energy-saving strategies improved the BEP indicator by approximately 16%. It has also been possible to verify that the BEP indicator adequately reproduces the building’s energy behavior while guaranteeing comfort conditions. Finally, the Building Energy Performance indicator is expected to contribute to the integration of sustainability criteria in the design and remodeling stages of buildings.

Abstract:
DKI Jakarta, as the capital of the Republic of Indonesia, has the highest population density in Indonesia, with a population of 16,334 people / km2. Therefore, community facilities and infrastructure within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government play an important role so that community service can be carried out properly. As one of the main infrastructures, State Buildings must have building reliability as stated in the technical requirements stipulated in Presidential Regulation Number 73 of 2016. Building maintenance is an activity to maintain the building's reliability and infrastructure, and facilities so that the building always functions properly. Based on a survey conducted by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Office for The Creation of Works, Spatial Planning and Land Use in 2019, the number of building assets of Province DKI Jakarta are 9823 buildings. 60% of those buildings were classified as Simple-Building category. Due to the numerous building assets, maintenance activities need to be supported by an adequate maintenance system. This study aims to develop a building maintenance system based on web. The methodology used in this research are expert validation, interviews, field survey and literature studies. The results of the validation process will be developed into a simple-building’s web-based maintenance system framework.

Abstract:
t has been argued that green buildings have a better indoor environmental quality than conventional buildings and that this translates into a more satisfying workplace for the building's occupants and, inturn, a more productive workforce. Assessing a building's cost effectiveness means taking into account all the costs that will be incurred during its life cycle not just development costs. People found no evidence to believe that green buildings are more comfortable than conventional building. In fact, the only difference between the buildings was that occupants of the green building were more likely to perceive their work environment as warm, and occupants who felt warm were more likely to describe their work environment as poor.

Abstract:
Flex−buildings are buildings which are literally designed to change. A flex−building must be able to accept different infills and its users must be able to easily adapt their surroundings. Flexibility is defined as the capacity of a building to undergo modifications and accept changes of function with limited structural interventions. More than 40% of the activities housed in a flex building can continue to function during modification. Studies into flex−buildings (commissioned by the Dutch Government) have elicited a number of insights. These are not hard−and−fast conclusions but more in the region of statements and reminders for those involved with flex−buildings. These studies show that it takes more than civil engineering to successfully realise such buildings. Aspects of use and management are at least as important. Besides, it requires designers who are willing to let go of their design after it is finished. For the result is not a completed ‘architectural’ product but a continually changing object. Following insights (among others) will be illustrated with built and unbuilt projects in the Netherlands. • The façade design, for example, figures prominently in designing flexible buildings. It makes special demands on the design’s presentation during the design process, as the building can assume different appearances over time. The double facade is a promising concept that allows for expressive and/or open facades in flexible buildings. It can also help to reduce a building’s energy consumption. • Also by deliberately incorporating excessive space and construction a building has the necessary leeway to accommodate future developments. A building’s flexibility is enhanced by oversize in structure as well as space. • A big multi−use building in Rotterdam (H. A. Maaskant / W. van Tijen (1951)) and recent projects of RUIMTELAB are presented as case−studies. These are an inspiration for architects and planners looking for design tools to help achieve an open architecture.

Abstract:
Many studies and reports have discussed various aspects of the "business case" for green buildings in recent years, but this report is an attempt to compile all reliable data from around the globe into a single, comprehensive resource that includes international examples and thought pieces from top experts. The final section of this study explores the effects that a greener built environment can have on a macro scale as well as how this can be accomplished. This report examines the business costs and advantages of green building in essential categories. According to the research, there are a variety of compelling advantages to building sustainably that are enjoyed by various stakeholders over the course of a building's life. However, whether it is possible to put a monetary value on the advantages of green buildings has remained debatable. This is information that real estate lenders and the investment community need. Do green buildings command a higher price when it comes to buying and renting? Are tenants and occupants finding them more appealing?

Abstract:
Social progress and economic development has resulted in the need to focus on the impacts of building microenvironment on the energy consumption in office buildings. The concept of a building’s microenvironment was introduced to understand the local microclimate around a building that is formed by the surrounding urban green spaces, the distribution of roads, and building proximity. For this research, we adopted a regression analysis to quantify the impacts of building microenvironment on energy consumption in office buildings. Taking the government office buildings of Guangdong Province as an example, we measured the building microenvironment through the urban green space density, road density, and number of points of interest (POI) around the buildings. The results showed that when the green space density increased by one unit, the energy consumption in government office buildings was reduced by 0.277%. Moreover, an increase of 1% in road density and in the number of POI increased the energy consumption in government office buildings by 0.288% and 0.048%, respectively. Furthermore, we discussed the heterogeneous impacts of building microenvironment on the energy consumption in government office buildings at varying scale levels. Green space and road density had less impact on the energy consumption in larger buildings, whereas the number of POI had no significant impact on small-scale buildings but did have a significant impact on large-scale buildings. There were also some limitations in the study. The data were limited to government office buildings, and did not include panel data, as well as it lacked building characteristics such as orientation, floor height, and building materials. In addition, it was impossible to evaluate the impacts of meteorological factors such as wind speed and thermal radiation on energy consumption in buildings. Nonetheless, our study demonstrates that energy-aware urban planning and design have the potential to unlock energy efficiency for cities worldwide.

Abstract:
Determining optimum building orientation for naturally ventilated buildings is an important concept. Obtaining the optimum orientation will determine the success of the performance of a naturally ventilated building.
This project deals with obtaining the preferred building orientation for 10 regional weather stations across the province of Ontario. Different methods were utilized to obtain the preferred building orientation: the average ventilation rate method, the percentage of ventilation rates above and below the minimum summer ventilation rates, and the consecutive hours method, ie. the number of weather events that are below the minimum summer design ventilation rate for a specific building configuration. The analysis involves six building orientations (0$ sp circ$, 30$ sp circ$, 60$ sp circ$, 90$ sp circ$, 120$ sp circ$, and 150$ sp circ$) with respect to North, and exterior temperatures greater than or equal to 20$ sp circ$C, 25$ sp circ$C, or 30$ sp circ$C.
Optimizing building orientation, to minimize the number of weather events where the ventilation rates are below the summer design ventilation rate is the general goal of this research work.
A statistical analysis was carried out based on the results obtained from the data for the frequency of ventilation rates versus the ventilation rates below the summer design ventilation rate, for all 10 Ontario weather stations, for temperatures greater than or equal to 20$ sp circ$C, and all six building orientations. The output of the statistical analysis showed that for the above mentioned temperature range, that there is a relationship between the ventilation rates below the design summer ventilation rate and building orientation.

Rutherford, Cassandra. "Building theatres/theatre buildings : reinventing Mull Theatre." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5254/.

Full text
Abstract:
Mull Theatre is a professional touring theatre company based on a small island off the west coast of Scotland. In 2008 the company relocated from a small converted cow byre which seated 42 people to a new purpose-built venue –Druimfin - on a different part of the island. The move was made possible through a grant from the Scottish Arts Council in 2006, which was awarded on the expectation that the new building would be a ‘production centre’ as opposed to a theatre. That is to say the emphasis in the design of the new space was to be placed on the production rather than the reception of the theatrical event. This stands in contrast to the expectation of many theatre attendees that the new space would continue as it had been – as a place to go and see a theatre production - but that it would do so out of a much larger, more comfortable and better equipped venue. Building Theatres/Theatre Buildings stems from a three year Collaborative Doctoral Award between Mull Theatre and the University of Glasgow, which was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Using the partnership that emerged from this award, the thesis explores what was potentially lost and gained in the move in order to draw conclusions about the wider relationship between spaces of performance and the creation of theatrical meaning in relation to small and medium scale touring theatre. It also uses the company’s dual identity as a touring company with its own permanent building to extend the discussion and to examine the wide range of venues which currently form the rural touring circuit in Scotland. By bringing together primary fieldwork from a pivotal moment in the company’s identity alongside current dialogues regarding theatre space and touring theatre, this research provides new knowledge about this often overlooked theatre company, its buildings and its role within contemporary Scottish theatre and small scale rural touring.

Abstract:
Station buildings are the most significant components of metro systems that combine underground facilities to the outer world, and include public life in itself. Thus, it is the main objective of that research, to put forward an acknowledgement documentation, which identifies the main design and construction problems of existing and under construction metro station buildings&trade
entrances, and which comes up with solutions to these problems. In the scope of thesis, foremost, basic terminology about station buildings are given and historical development of these buildings in abroad and Turkey are explained briefly. Then, observed problems of metro station entrances are put forward in detail. These problems are mainly categorized as design, construction, material and application related problems. Design part is investigated under following sub-titles: Psychological effects, lighting conditions, space requirements, relationship with city, navigation and disabled accessibility of stations. The affect of recent construction techniques and technological developments on design are also explained. Lastly, material choice and application related problems are investigated through such components of station as wall, floor, ceiling and details. All these problems are assessed by making comparisons with examples both from abroad and from Turkey. Finally, it is comprehended that, because of having weak connections to outer world, the entrances of the stations have adequate contributions neither to the station nor to the city. Assessment of building performance is made under the light of predefined problems and proposals are made in order to be used in design studies to get station entrances free from those problems.

O crescente consumo de energia é preocupante, principalmente pelo uso de sistemas de condicionamento de ar e de iluminação artificial. Nas edificações modernas, os projetos arquitetônicos vêm negligenciando os fatores que proporcionam o conforto ambiental. Baseando-se nos conceitos da arquitetura sustentável, esta dissertação propõe e modela um sistema que otimiza os parâmetros da edificação que influenciarão no consumo de energia elétrica, nos custos com a construção e na emissão de poluentes pela edificação. Propõe-se um modelo de algoritmos genéticos que, juntamente com um programa de simulação de energia, EnergyPlus, constitui o modelo evolucionário desenvolvido neste trabalho. Este modelo otimiza parâmetros como: dimensionamento de aberturas e de pédireito; orientação da edificação; condicionamento do ar; disposição de árvores no entorno da edificação; etc . O modelo evolucionário tem sua ação e eficácia testados em estudo de casos - edificações desenhadas por projetista -, em que se alteram: espessura das paredes, altura de pé direito, largura de janelas, orientação quanto ao Norte geográfico, localização de elementos sombreantes (árvores), uso ou não de bloqueadores solares. Estes fatores influenciarão no conforto térmico da edificação e, consequentemente, no consumo elétrico dos sistemas de condicionamento de ar e de iluminação artificial, que por sua vez, influenciam os parâmetros que se pretende otimizar. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as otimizações feitas pelo modelo evolucionário foram efetivas, minimizando o consumo de energia pelos sistemas de condicionamento de ar e de iluminação artificial em comparação com os resultados obtidos com as edificações originais fornecidas pelo projetista.
The continuous rising on energy consumption is a concerning issue, especially regarding the use of air conditioning systems and artificial lighting. In modern buildings, architectural designs are neglecting the factors that provide environmental comfort in a natural way. Based on concepts of sustainable architecture, this work proposes and models a system that optimizes the parameters of a building that influence the consumption of electricity, the costs with the building itself, and the emission of pollutants by these buildings. For this purpose a genetic algorithm model is proposed, which works together with an energy simulation program called EnergyPlus, both comprising the evolutionary model developed in this work. This model is able to optimize parameters like: dimensions of windows and ceiling height; orientation of a building; air conditioning; location of trees around a building; etc. The evolutionary model has its efficiency tested in case studies - buildings originally designed by a designer -, and the following specifications provided by the designer have been changed by the evolutionary model: wall thickness, ceiling height, windows width, building orientation, location of elements that perform shading function (trees), the use (or not) of sun blockers. These factors influence the building s heat comfort and therefore the energy consumption of air conditioning systems and artificial lighting which, in turn, influence the parameters that are meant to be optimized. The results show that the optimizations made by the evolutionary model were effective, minimizing the energy consumption for air conditioning systems and artificial light in comparison with the results obtained with the original buildings provided by the designer.

Abstract:
Tabulated accounts form the framework for this investigation into the building craftsmen of sixteenth and seventeenth century Worcester and the buildings they produced. Augmented by other research material they have allowed the organisation and financial basis of the building trade to be assessed and the family background and social status of the craftsmen to be examined. The costs and sources of the materials used have also been evaluated and the prices of timber and brick compared during the crucial period when brick was supplanting timber as an economic material. Building methods have also been reviewed. A central aspect of the study is the transformation of the mediaeval house and the effect on the houses of Worcester. For this, local probate records have been analysed to provide material relating to the decline of the hall and the spread of glass windows and masonry chimneys. The shape of the house and the use of space have also been considered. Physical and visual material, standing buildings and photographs and pictures have played a vital part in this study and the interaction between buildings and documentary data is fundamental to the thesis. 81,500 words.

Abstract:
Residential buildings are one of the crucial energy consumers. The vast majority of the existing buildings require urgent retrofitting due to the very poor thermal insulation properties of their external building envelope. There are many building retrofitting technologies available on the market. However, thermal insulation technologies, such as rendered and double facades, require large amount of on-site human working hours. One of the most promising technologies is a modular retrofitting.

Abstract:
The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) mostly through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This report provides a World War II development history and analysis of 786 buildings, and determinations of eligibility for those buildings, on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Evaluation of the WWII buildings and landscape concluded that there are too few buildings with integrity to form a cohesive historic district. While the circulation patterns and roads are still intact, the buildings with integrity are scattered throughout the cantonment affecting the historic character of the landscape. Only Building 100 (post headquarters), Building 656 (dental clinic), and Building 550 (fire station) are ELIGIBLE for listing on the NRHP at the national level under Criterion A for their association with World War II temporary building construction (1942-1946) and under Criterion C for their design, construction, and technological innovation.

Abstract:
Historic building restoration and renovation requires sensitivity to the cultural heritage, historic value, and sustainability (i.e., building physics, energy efficiency, and comfort) goals of the project. Heat recovery ventilation can contribute to the mentioned goals if ventilation concepts, and airflow distribution is planned and realized in a minimally invasive way. Compared to new buildings, the building physics of historic buildings are more complicated in terms of hygrothermal performance. In particular if internal insulation is applied, the need for dehumidification is needed for robust and risk-free future use, while maintaining the building’s cultural value. As each ventilation system has to be chosen and adapted individually to the specific building, the selection of the appropriate system type is not an easy task.

Abstract:
The year 2050 is considered the deadline for achieving the European climate goal of net zero emissions, an essential sustainability milestone. Current strategies ask for higher retrofitting rates in the building sector, as most of today’s buildings will still be standing and be used in 2050, and longer. However, retrofitting strategies must consider energy and emissions reductions alongside social sustainability, targeting not only the building but also its users. Historically, the focus has been on indoor environmental quality, while other aspects of human well-being such as the quality of views were not addressed as frequently. Educational buildings can function as lighthouse projects, profiting from its many users as communicators. This article presents the retrofitting potential of the central building complex of the Gløshaugen campus of the NTNU in Trondheim in terms of energy, as basis to study the impact of retrofitting strategies on the indoor environment. The study consists of a selection of details, their building physical assessment, and a proposal of retrofitting measures. The results highlight the importance of human-centric definitions in the early (re-)design stages. Humancentric planning aspects can have diverse positive influences on the building’s users, especially in educational and other highly cognitive settings. Their impact however is strongly dependent on the selection of measures and their implementation. Interactions of the many aspects of well-being that can be addressed during retrofitting must be studied further as their interdependencies are often unclear and case specific. Human-centric retrofitting can function as a guide for upcoming mass retrofits throughout Europe for the sustainable achievement of climate goals.
