Abstract:
Smart cities and smart buildings must provide their customers with many services, including those associated with health, productivity, and energy efficiency, among others. Short-range wireless systems can provide all of these services, but the significant growth of wireless networks operating within a smart building (SB) can produce the phenomenon of spectrum shortages. Spectrum shortages could be resolved using Cognitive Radio (CR)-based systems to improve the efficiency of electromagnetic spectrum use by taking advantage of the reusable spectrum available in the building’s interior. This study proposes a mechanism using two interference conditions to quickly estimate the minimum amount of effective spectrum availability (ESA) inside an SB. The results show that an SB contains ESA distributed across 36% to 98% of the building’s area for reuse, as a function of the height of the building and of the distance from the base station (BS) of the primary system.

Abstract:
1.0. INTRODUCTION In the United States, K–12 school buildings spend more than $8 billion each year on energy—more than they spend on computers and textbooks combined [1]. Most occupied older buildings demonstrate poor operational performance—for instance, more than 30 percent of schools were built before 1960, and 53 percent of public schools need to spend money on repairs, renovations, and modernization to ensure that the schools' onsite buildings are in good overall condition. And among public schools with permanent buildings, the environmental factors in the permanent buildings have been rated as unsatisfactory or very unsatisfactory in 5 to 17 percent of them [2]. Indoor environment quality (IEQ) is one of the core issues addressed in the majority of sustainable building certification and design guidelines. Children spend a significant amount of time indoors in a school environment. And poor IEA can lead to sickness and absenteeism from school and eventually cause a decrease in student performance [3]. Different building types and their IEQ characteristics can be partly attributed to building age and construction materials. [4] Improving the energy performance of school buildings could result in the direct benefit of reduced utility costs and improving the indoor quality could improve the students' learning environment. Research also suggests that aging school facilities and inefficient equipment have a detrimental effect on academic performance that can be reversed when schools are upgraded. [5] Several studies have linked better lighting, thermal comfort, and air quality to higher test scores. [6, 7, 8] Another benefit of improving the energy efficiency of education buildings is the potential increase in market value through recognition of green building practice and labeling, such as that of a LEED or net zero energy building. In addition, because of their educational function, high-performance or energy-efficient buildings are particularly valuable for institution clients and local government. More and more high-performance buildings, net zero energy buildings, and positive energy buildings serve as living laboratories for educational purposes. Currently, educational/institutional buildings represent the largest portion of NZE (net zero energy) projects. Educational buildings comprise 36 percent of net zero buildings according to a 2014 National New Building Institute report. Of the 58 net zero energy educational buildings, 32 are used for kindergarten through grade 12 (K–12), 21 for higher education, and 5 for general education. [9] Finally, because educational buildings account for the third largest amount of building floor space in the United States, super energy-efficient educational buildings could provide other societal and economic benefits beyond the direct energy cost savings for three reasons: 1) educational buildings offer high visibility that can influence community members and the next generation of citizens, 2) success stories of the use of public funds that returns lower operating costs and healthier student learning environments provide documentation that can be used by others, and 3) this sector offers national and regional forums and associations to facilitate the transfer of best design and operational practices.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the definition of a method supported by digital processes for a sustainable and user-orientated re-design of the existing building stock. Based on the analysis of the methodological and procedural aspects of the computational approach to architectural design in relation to different performance conditions, the research addresses the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), intended as a powerful method for coordinating the complexity of the multiple, interdisciplinary and conflicting aspects involved in the rehabilitation of buildings. In addition to the advantages in terms of control and management, the BIM process has proven its effectiveness in tackling the issue of sustainability, allowing all actors involved in the research to share information and pro-actively control various outcomes of a building’s performance, such as energy and environmental quality. To show the opportunities and limitations of the digital management in information-based processes, the activities carried out in the framework of the European Horizon 2020 project “Pro-GET-onE—Proactive synergy of inteGrated Efficient Technologies on buildings’ Envelopes” are reported. The research, based on a case study method, which is applied to a student residence in Athens, demonstrates that BIM possesses great potentialities for developing effective and efficient construction and renovation processes toward buildings with high quality standards.

Abstract:
Abstract Biomimicry is an applied science that mainly depends on deriving inspiration from various natural solutions to human problems for making practical applications through the study and examination of natural phenomena, designs, systems, and processes. Historically, designers have dealt with nature as an essential source of innovation and inspiration. In future architecture, biomimicry will be applied to achieve sustainable design. Thus, the paper assumes that biomimicry is an environmental solution for optimizing the thermal performance of office buildings through the building’s skin. The purpose of this paper specifically is to determine and clarify the effective indicators of applying biomimicry to the skins of office buildings in hot climate countries. This will be accomplished by discussing the general concept of biomimicry and its definitions, approaches, and levels. Then, selected examples of biomimetic skin of office buildings in hot climate countries will be shown, analyzed, and compared to determine the most effective biomimetic indicators that will be suggested to be applied to the office building skin. As a result, the effective use of biomimicry as a tool for sustainable design leads to optimizing building thermal performance, optimum thermal comfort for users, and increased productivity for employers in office buildings. Based on indicators, biomimicry as a creative approach to achieving sustainable design will support architects, students, and scholars in achieving sustainable office building design.

Abstract:
Abstract The past century has seen a pronounced development of higher education in China. Notably, the gross enrollment rate has risen from 0.1% in 1970 to 48.4% in 2016. Existing campus buildings in colleges and universities that hold great value because of their historical, cultural and environmental resources, have attracted an increasing amount of attention. Unfortunately, in many cases, campus buildings have to face issues concerning uniformity of spaces and poor adaptability to accommodate changing academic needs. These issues greatly impact not only the comfort of faculty and students but also the effectiveness of teaching & research. This paper focuses on the effective long-term space optimization regarding existing campus buildings in China, inspired by the concepts of Open Building and applying the detailed research of Southwest Building in Nanjing University, Gulou Campus as an example. The process consisting of investigation and space optimization design is introduced. By the design principles of “fixed space” and “variable space”, this paper demonstrates that the application of effective long-term space optimization design can greatly enhance the long-term utility of existing buildings. Numerical simulations of natural daylighting and ventilation by Ecotect and CFD also show an enhancement in building performance after the space optimization design. This research is beneficial to realizing the effective long-term utilization of campus buildings in universities and colleges. It can also be referred to for the renovation design of other kinds of existing buildings in China.

Abstract:
The objective of my research is to identify and analyze the techniques of exaggeration, simplification, and abstraction used by caricature and cartoon artists. I apply these techniques to an expressive 3D modelling process which is used to create building caricatures. This process minimizes the number of unimportant details and increases the recognizability of the buildings. Additionally, the building caricature process decreases the time spent modelling the buildings and reduces their overall file sizes. The building caricature process has been used to create other building caricatures, as well as interactive visualizations and 3D maps of the Texas A&M University campus.

Smart buildings have grown from an increase in digital technologies that can sense, recognize and verify the experiences of the building and its inhabitants. Nascent literature has identified what it means to be considered smart. Buildings must respond to all three components of systems, performance, and service and has to have the following components: a) Smartness and technology awareness, b) economic and cost efficiency, c) personal and social sensitivity and d) environmental responsiveness. Yet, it is unclear whether these systems have any value to the users or its owners. This thesis studies the economic impact of Smart, Connected and Green buildings upon rents and transaction prices. Using numerous data sources, we identify buildings that offer at least one so-called "smart" amenity and link them with the building's achieved rent and transactions prices as well as to other so-called "innovation" amenities, like greenness and or fiber-lit connectivity. Results documented in this study suggest that buildings that offer a more integral solution (i.e. buildings that are Smart, Connected and Green) have a premium in both rents and transaction prices over similar office products. While products that offer a more disintegrated solution have a smaller premium or even no incremental value premium, with the exception of green only buildings that offers a premium by themselves. This study contributes to the vast literature on real estate innovation but explores particularly the recent commercial office products that are Smart Buildings.

Abstract:
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:
The aim of the study was to establish the Facility Management knowledge categories within the life cycle of a building context. The significance of the study stemmed from research undertaken into the compliance to Australian Standards 1851-17:2005 Maintenance of Fire and Smoke Doors within West Australian nursing homes, which demonstrated 87 per cent non-compliance. The level of non-compliance appeared to identify a lack of knowledge, and appropriately qualified and experienced personnel involved within the management of nursing homes (Doleman, 2008). The issues identified prompted the question on how facility management knowledge categories evolves and develops throughout the life cycle of a building. The research used a three Phase, Grounded Theory interpretive analysis of the Facility Management knowledge construct. Phase One involved the examination of 21 international tertiary undergraduate Facility Managers courses. The course content was analysed and assessed through linguistic analysis to extract the knowledge categories and subordinate concepts. The findings identified 14 primary knowledge categories which were presented to 10 Facility Management experts for validation. Phase Two presented the findings of Phase One in a Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) survey instrument to Facility Management experts for dissimilarity assessments. The results from the 56 completed surveys were embedded within MDS software to present spatial knowledge proximity cluster analysis. The final phase was the validation of the research findings through semi-structured interviews of 10 industry experts, selected with consideration of heterogeneity in order to validate the findings of the previous phase. The outcome of this study was to develop an understanding of the Facility Management knowledge categories within the life cycle of a building context and the identification of 14 core knowledge base, required as a Facility Manager practitioner. Core knowledge categories included Finance as a central theme within the Facility Management domain with Building Services and Business providing an indication as to the broad nature of Facility Management knowledge construct. Also identified within the research was the lack of legislative harmonisation between different states and territories within the Facility Management domain and the disparity between Facility Management practitioners with regards to knowledge context and application. The role of Facility Management and their involvement within the lifecycle of a building was also identified within the research as being little or none during the design and construction phases of the building. The handover and management of the buildings to Facility Managers occurs within the occupancy phase of the buildings life cycle meaning that the building was inherited without due consideration of continued operational efficiencies or functionality affecting the overall cost effectiveness of the building. Such outcomes lead to a number of recommendations such as a the introduction of central knowledge standard in order to provide context of definitions and well as the continued development and drive of Facility Management practitioners and associations to establish the Facility Management profession as a respected body.

Abstract:
AbstractExisting buildings play a central role in achieving EU climate and energy targets. Consequently, the building sector faces the complex challenge of finding effective solutions to manage both the conservation and renovation of this stock. Given that building energy renovation has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve EU targets, the European Commission has developed frameworks and regulatory instruments to foster a deep renovation approach. However, progress in achieving the necessary transformation has been slow. The objective of this chapter is to identify strategies and actions that can accelerate the sustainable transformation of the building stock. We focus on the first renovation stage in which it is critical for accurate data to be collected and processed on the state of buildings to improve decision-making processes. By overviewing current policies and instruments, and new technologies and tools applicable to existing buildings, we explore open challenges and room for improvement to fulfil their potential. In this study, we have identified upgraded instruments and tools and new benchmarks, resulting in innovative strategies and actions as drivers for a sustainable transformation. From this perspective, we introduce how more ambitious approaches can lead stakeholders to develop strategies and apply actions towards a regenerative built environment.

Abstract:
Essential to the development of a low carbon economy will be the advancement of building product and process to reduce the capital and whole lifecycle cost of low, zero and net-positive energy buildings to allow these structures to be realized at a greater rate. On the whole, the built environment is responsible for one of the largest fractions of global energy consumption and thus anthropomorphic climate change, a result of the greenhouse gas emissions from power generation. When one also considers the energy required to design, fabricate, transport and construct the materials necessary to bring new building stock online, keeping pace with the rapid trend towards urbanization, the importance of the built environment in the energy sustainability equation is clearly evident. Yet, while technologically feasible, the realization of carbon neutral buildings is encumbered by the perception of increased annualized costs for operation and a greater upfront investment. This paper will review the design case of the Masdar International Headquarters, the flagship building of the net-zero carbon emission Masdar city currently being developed within the Abu Dhabi Emirates. Specifically, how an integrated approach enabled by computer simulation early within the design process allowed for improvements in economy and efficiency, setting a model for future high performance buildings. The five-story, 89,040-square-meter office building will incorporate eleven sculpted glass environmental towers to promote natural ventilation and introduce daylight to the interior of the building. These towers will also serve as the structural support for one of the world’s largest building integrated photovoltaic arrays, sized to supply 103% of the building’s total annual energy requirements while protecting the building and roof garden from intense heat and solar gains. Moreover, by integration into a separate structural trellis system, clean energy can potentially be generated to offset construction requirements while dually shading workers below during the heat of the day. This, along with other key sustainability design strategies such as a solar powered central district cooling system, thermoactive foundation piling, underfloor air distribution, desiccant dehumidification, a nanotechnology enabled building envelope and smart grid enabled facilities management infrastructure will allow the Masdar Headquarters to reach carbon neutrality within a decade, allowing for the remaining century of its operation to serve as a platform for clean energy generation.

Abstract:
<p>High-rise buildings are progressively being designed and constructed in increasingly slender and complex shapes. Consequently, excessive wind-induced vibrations of these structures are a growing serviceability concern due to their flexibility. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are regularly incorporated into high-rise buildings for mitigating excessive wind-induced vibrations. However, traditional TMDs are only effective over a narrow domain of frequencies, require an immense mass and occupy a significant volume of interior space. A novel modular air-tuned damper system was developed which is more cost-effective and flexible in distributing its mass throughout a building to make efficient use of unused space. Importantly, the air-tuned damper system is capable of being tuned across a broad domain of frequencies to more effectively alleviate wind-induced vibrations. This paper presents a case study demonstrating the performance of a high-rise building under 1- year and 10-year wind events whilst equipped with the air-tuned damper system. Dynamic analyses were performed for evaluating the reductions of the building’s lateral accelerations considering different air-tuned damper configurations. The performance of the building under the different damper configurations is discussed.</p>

Abstract:
Environmental noise has become a significant concern for compressor station operations. Typical compressor buildings provide limited attenuation of the noise from the compressor package. In addition, ventilation openings, windows, doors and explosion panels can significantly downgrade the building’s potential acoustical performance. Similarly, exterior equipment such as aerial coolers, yard piping and exhaust silencers are noise contributors that cause challenging design constraints towards achieving practical noise control solutions. Integration of all of these aspects means that the economic retrofit of existing compressor station noise sources, particularly the compressor buildings themselves, has proven to be a difficult challenge. Consideration of construction complexity and cost in the “Balanced Design” process ensures that the final design is practical, economical and expedient. This paper discusses in detail the components of an approach that has been successfully used to provide cost effective noise control at existing compressor stations.

Abstract:
With the expansion and development of Sri Lanka's economic practices and the modernization, client expectations for commercial building facilities have tremendously enhanced. Therefore, commercial building management has more focused on providing more effective and efficient buildings facilities to satisfy varied client requirements. Hence, commercial buildings need to consume a huge amount of energy to provide these facilities. However high energy consumption has caused to increase the energy cost, which takes a large proportion of the operation cost of commercial buildings. Ultimately all these causes adversely impact on the profit and the overall financial performance of the commercial buildings. Therefore, identification of main affecting ices which utilize energy mostly and factors effecting for the energy consumption by different building services is highly required for commercial buildings to gain economic advantage and to be sustainable firms. Through conducting a comprehensive literature review, the energy consumption of commercial buildings, energy management, including benefits of using energy management have been reviewed. Subsequently, a qualitative research choice was used to achieve the research aim. Semi-structured interviews were accompanied with 20 participants who are working in commercial buildings who are working in building management department and financial department respondents. Collected data were analyzed using manual content analysis technique. The empirical findings revealed the challenges of high energy consumption and reasons for growing energy consumption in commercial buildings. Further, widely used energy sources in commercial buildings were and finally, factors effecting on the energy consumption of commercial buildings in Sri Lanka were identified

Abstract:
The United States Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the nation’s most effective cultural resources legislation to date, mostly through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. 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. Fort McCoy is in west-central Wisconsin, entirely within Monroe County. It was first established as the Sparta Maneuver Tract in 1909. The post was renamed Camp McCoy in 1926. Since 1974, it has been known as Fort McCoy. This report provides historic context and determinations of eligibility for buildings in the cantonment constructed between 1946 and 1975 and concludes that none are eligible for the NRHP. In consultation with the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Officer (WISHPO), this work fulfills Section 110 requirements for these buildings.

Abstract:
Naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) are apartment, condo, co-op and social housing buildings that while not purpose-built for older adults, have become home to a high number of them. In Toronto, there are 489 residential buildings that are NORCs. Of these, 256 are located in neighbourhoods with the highest cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2, and are home to 40,955 older adults 65 years of age and above, including 18,144 older adults 80 years of age and above. Prioritizing COVID-19 vaccination by both age and neighbourhood of residence is an effective strategy to minimize deaths, morbidity, and hospitalization. Targeting people living in NORCs in high-risk neighbourhoods for early vaccination is a practical application of that strategy, which will also address barriers to vaccination in this population.
