Global warming as a problem of the twenty-first-century increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human actions like burning fossil fuels. The built environment puts the greatest pressure on the natural environment of all industrial parts, and it has a fundamental role to manage the environment sustainably. Total life cycle energy, embodied and operational energy over the lifetime of the buildings, creates significant environmental impacts through the production of CO2. Embodied energy is the whole amount of energy applied to extract the raw materials, manufacture, transport, install, and use the product across its life cycle. Assessments of the embodied energy of historic and existing buildings are helping to mitigate future damage to resources. These buildings already exist, which indicates that the energy consumed to build them has been applied and the carbon associated with their construction has been released. The greenest buildings are ones that are already built. They are inherently sustainable and can be retrofitted to become more energy efficient. Specifically, this design engages with an abandoned late nineteenth-century bank building in Philadelphia and transforms it into a high-performance building that is prepared for long-term use. For the immediate next use, the project creates a work environment and in a new vertical expansion, residential units. In the abandoned bank, there are some aspects of this building that are near-permanent and define its characters, such as brick walls with masonry ornament, two bank vaults, Wissahickon Schist wall, and ceiling trusses. This thesis explores the new approaches to leverage the embodied energy of the permanent parts of the abandoned bank and transform it into a high-performance building. This is achieved through various means such as providing localized heating and cooling by using a radiation and conduction system, the use of phase-change material for cooling the process water, solar hot water, creating drinking water via a solar still in the skylight and distilled water from radiant cooling surfaces. In the new construction, a thermal switch facade and double-skin facade for the residential units are proposed, along with providing flexible space with thick mobile interior wall units.

Full textEsta tesis aborda las transiciones de sostenibilidad en el entorno construido, desde los edificios a la escala metropolitana y desde el desarrollo bajo en carbono hasta los desafíos multidimensionales que enfrentan actualmente las ciudades. Se hace énfasis en el sur global, con especial énfasis en América Latina. El trabajo se estructura en cuatro etapas. La primera identifica una ruta baja en carbono para el sector de la construcción, bajo un enfoque de ciclo de vida, enfocado en: 1) materiales de construcción y sistemas constructivos eficientes; 2) eficiencia energía para edificios nuevos y existentes; y 3) manejo de residuos residenciales. Los resultados muestran sinergias potenciales entre los objetivos de mitigación y adaptación, al tiempo que muestran que las medidas reducción de emisiones no funcionan de la misma manera entre las economías industrializadas en las regiones templadas y las economías emergentes en los climas tropicales, lo que destaca la importancia de la formulación de políticas basadas en la ciencia y en contextos específicos. La segunda etapa aborda la ciencia, la política y las prácticas actuales relativas al Ambiente Construido sostenible, en torno a áreas temáticas, metas y cuestiones planteadas por la Nueva Agenda Urbana. Los resultados muestran que la investigación científica convencional, los sistemas de certificación internacional y los instrumentos de política pública se centran principalmente en los aspectos de eficiencia energética y confort interior. Por lo tanto, se confiere menos importancia a otras preocupaciones sobre sostenibilidad. Sin embargo, los hallazgos también muestran que algunos instrumentos de política emitidos en América Latina abordan temas de la agenda global de una manera más integral en comparación con algunos esquemas de certificación de edificaciones sustentables que han sido ampliamente difundidos en las últimas décadas, lo que sugiere que la Región se está construyendo suficiencia para alinear los problemas mundiales con las prioridades nacionales. La tercera etapa analiza el papel potencial del entorno construido en el cumplimiento de los objetivos, metas y temas de la Agenda de la ONU. Los resultados muestran que NUA subraya el papel fundamental de la planificación y el diseño espaciales para lograr ciudades inclusivas, sostenibles y resilientes. Al llevar los ODS, el Acuerdo de París y el Marco de Sendai a la esfera urbana, se hacen evidentes interacciones amplias y fuertes con respecto al entorno construido. Estos resultados permiten producir un marco integrador de la agenda global, útil para orientar las direcciones hacia las transiciones urbanas hacia la sostenibilidad. La cuarta etapa aborda el cambio urbano transformativo mediante el ensamblaje de perspectivas sobre las transiciones a la sostenibilidad en edificios con bajas emisiones de carbono y en el entorno construido sostenible. Con respecto a los edificios bajas en carbono, los resultados muestran la pertinencia de utilizar una Perspectiva Multinivel sobre las transiciones para diseñar políticas. Si bien los instrumentos convencionales aún pueden ser útiles, las políticas deben evolucionar en el uso de instrumentos novedosos basados en redes colaborativas, experimentación secuencial y escalamiento gradual, a fin de facilitar el aprendizaje progresivo requerido para producir transiciones a largo plazo. Con respecto a las transiciones en el ambiente construido, aquí se utilizó un método exploratorio para 1) vincular perspectivas analíticas sobre las transiciones para producir un modelo conceptual del ambiente construido como un sistema socio-técnico-institucional-económico-ecológico; 2) vincular las perspectivas de gestión de la transición en el marco de la Capacidad Urbana Transformativa (Wolfram, 2016) y 3) conectar tanto el modelo conceptual como el marco de gestión con la agenda global de sostenibilidad, proporcionando elementos para políticas urbanas

Whole life cycle emissions of buildings include not only operational carbon due to their use phase, but also embodied carbon due to the rest of their life cycle: material extraction, transport to the site, construction, and demolition. With ongoing population growth and increasing urbanization, decreasing immediate and irreversible embodied carbon emissions is imperative. With feedback from a wide range of stakeholders - architects, structural engineers, policy makers, rating-scheme developers, this research presents an integrated assessment approach to compare embodied life cycle impacts of building structures. Existing literature indicates that there is an urgent need for benchmarking the embodied carbon of building structures. To remediate this, a rigorous and transparent methodology is presented on multiple scales. On the material scale, a comparative analysis defines reliable Embodied Carbon Coefficients (ECC, expressed in kgCO2e/kg) for the structural materials concrete, steel, and timber. On the structural scale, data analysis evaluates the Structural Material Quantities (SMQ, expressed in kg/m²) and the embodied carbon for existing building structures (expressed in kgCO2e/m²). An interactive database of building projects is created in close collaboration with leading structural design firms worldwide. Results show that typical buildings range between 200 and 550 kgCO2e/m² on average, but these results can vary widely dependent on structural systems, height, size, etc. On the urban scale, an urban modeling method to simulate the embodied carbon of neighborhoods is proposed and applied to a Middle Eastern case study. A series of extreme low carbon case studies are analyzed. Results demonstrate that a novel design approach can lead to buildings with an embodied carbon as low as 30 kgCO2e/m² which is an order of magnitude lower than conventional building structures today. Two pathways are implemented to lower the embodied carbon of structures: choosing low carbon materials (low ECC) and optimizing the structural efficiency of buildings (low SMQ). This research recommends new pathways for low carbon structural design, crucial for lowering carbon emissions in the built environment.

Full textAlineándose con el ambicioso paquete de energía y clima de la UE 2030 para reducir las emisiones de efecto invernadero y reemplazar las fuentes de calor convencionales a través de la presencia de energía renovable para lograr una comunidad de energía neta cero, las partes interesadas en el sector residencial se enfrentan a varios problemas técnicos, económicos y ambientales. cuestiones para cumplir los objetivos de la UE en un futuro próximo. Esta tesis se centra en dos transformaciones estructurales clave necesarias para la transición sostenible hacia la producción de energía limpia: el problema de las tecnologías energéticas bajas en carbono que representan los sistemas de calefacción de distrito solar junto con el almacenamiento de energía estacional, y su aplicación para lograr edificios de energía casi nula. El abordaje de estos desafíos se inicia mediante el uso del diseño y la optimización de sistemas de energía limpia incorporados con el aprendizaje automático y el análisis de datos para desarrollar herramientas de ingeniería de procesos asistida por computadora. Estas herramientas ayudarían a abordar los desafíos de las partes interesadas, contribuyendo así a la transición hacia un futuro más sostenible.
Aligning with the ambitious EU 2030 climate and energy package for cutting the greenhouse emissions and replacing conventional heat sources through the presence of renewable energy share to achieve net-zero-energy community, the stakeholders at residential sector are facing several technical, economic, and environmental issues to meet the EU targets in the near future. This thesis is focusing on two key structural transformations needed for sustainable transition towards clean energy production: the low carbon energy technologies problem represented by the solar district heating systems coupled with seasonal energy storage, and its application to achieve Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. The Tackling for these challenges is instigated through using design and optimization of clean energy systems incorporated with machine learning and data analysis to develop Computer-Aided Process Engineering tools. These tools would help in addressing the stakeholder’s challenges, thus contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable future.

Full textThe global context of energy savings and greenhouse gases emissions control led to significant efforts in France to boost the thermal insulation in buildings in order to reduce heating consumption. Nevertheless, the stated thermal performance before construction or refurbishment is rarely achieved in practice, for many reasons (calculation errors, defects in materials or workmanship, etc.). Yet, guaranteeing the real thermal performance of buildings on the spot is crucial to enhance the refurbishment market and the construction of energy efficient buildings. To do so, measurement techniques of the intrinsinc thermal insulation performance indicators are needed. Such techniques already exist worldwide, and consist in processing the measurement data from the indoor and outdoor thermal conditions and the heat consumption. Some of them have already proved themselves in the field, but are either binding or very imprecise. And above all, the related uncertainty calculations are often rough. The objective of this thesis funded by CSTB is to consolidate a novel measurement method of the thermal insulation quality of a whole building after reception of work (ISABELE method). In the first chapter, a state of the art of the existing methods allows to identify possible ways to pursue this goal from a comparative synthesis. The primary reflection is about the uncertainty calculation method (which is a central issue). The second chapter presents a global methodology to combine the propagation of random and systematic errors from bayesian and classical approaches. One of the most important uncertainty sources deals with the infiltration air flow evaluation during the test. The third chapter investigates the characterization of this uncertainty, as well as its impact on the final result, depending on the chosen experimental approach (rule of thumb, simplified aeraulic models, tracer gases). Lastly, an improvement of the inclusion of the bluiding thermal dynamics during the test will be proposed in the last chapter. The basis of this improvement is to adapt the inverse model according to the building type and the test conditions. To do so, the proposed algorithm selects a model form a variety of simplified greybox models based on statistical criteria and parcimony. All these contributions have been tested on a large serie of measurements on a same timber-framed building (OPTIMOB shed). The robustness and precision of the results have been slightly improved. The intial infiltration air flow calculation, neither too simple of too complicated, has also been validated. Finaly, a better ordrer of magnitude of the minimal test duration has been determined, depending on the building inertia

Global warming is increasing, and has already caused a serious situation.In order to mitigate the impact of a rising carbon dioxide level on the climate and the environment, which causes global warming, many countries have been actively promoting green living, low-carbon energy and sustainable development in recent years. To achieve energy-saving and carbon reduction targets, the Taiwan government advocated the “Scheme for low-carbon cities” in 2010, and Kinmen was selected for development as a low-carbon demonstration city, as well as a model low-carbon outlying island. With its special geographical location, and through comprehensive planning by the local government as well as a great deal of help from the residents on the island, Kinmen has carried out renovation of old communities and developed constructions in new communities as low-carbon buildings. The development in Kinmen employs energy-saving techniques to the greatest extent, and aims to achieve a 600,000-ton carbon reduction by 2018.The process of construction to create a low-carbon living environment not only involves the effort of the central and local governments, but also requires companies and the general public to participate during their daily life. This study explored energy issues that have arisen due to abnormal climate changes, focusing on reduction of energy consumption during construction and lifting the ecological burden. It aimed to bring the issue of architectural design to the forefront of the public’s attention, which may assist in finding better solutions in an era of a low-carbon economy. Simulation study of low-carbon strategies and practical construction of composite facades were used as case studies for analysis of carbon consumption. Infrared thermal imaging was used to analyze the interior and exterior of a building, and the results were compared with those obtained after composite facade transformation. From quantitative data obtained prior to and after renovation, it was clear that the transformation effectively achieved the target of reduction in energy consumption. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of green construction are presented for future reference. Furthermore, this study summarizes several recommendations for building transformation that are suitable for Kinmen, which can be taken as a useful reference for other buildings when transformation is under consideration.

With the emergce of environment problems, such as global warming, greenhouse effect and extreme climate, the problems of carbon emissions have become an important international issue. Obviously, the carbon emissions of buildings sector is the most in global greenhouse gas emissions by economic sectors. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions of buildings become more critical for carbon reduction. This study create an educational board game to spread the sustainable environment protection. The design concept of the game is based on Building Carbon Footprint Evaluation Method, which proposed by Low Carbon Building Alliance (LCBA). The game create a model to simulate a house construction processed by purchasing equipment and choosing the building materials, and reducing carbon footprint by energy-efficient technologies design afterwards to achieve the purpose of low carbon building. In order to exam the result of this instructional game, there are two experiments. These results show that participants’ awareness of low carbon building has been improved. Secondly, the participants purchase more energy-saving devices or more green building materials are helpful for cutting carbon footprint of building.

The topic of sustainable energy saving now is very popular. However what is green building? How to reconstruct high-energy consuming, function impaired and unhealthy established buildings? Would applying some energy saving designs achieve the best result of sustainable construction and low-carbon? Is energy saving index the ultimate basis of environment improvement? There is no answer for those questions. This research believes that applying some energy saving techniques may not sufficient to achieve the expected goal of sustainable low-carbon. Integrated low-carbon passive designs are needed in the project. This research is based on observation of the smart energy house in Ciaotou Sugar Refinery. This research tries to use “pattern”concept to help the environment improvement participants. During the planning process they can have the better understandings of local life style and comprehend how the local people respond and reform their environment. The concept is also helpful for environment improvement participants to analyze the local ecological, economical and society behaviors. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a planning module that includes analysis frames, decision systems and standard operation procedures according to analyzing the relations between the environment levels and patterns。This module is not only for ecological experts. By following the standard planning process any inhabitant can use this module to analyze the environment problems and participate in designing. Therefore the inhabitants can develop their reconstruction ideas to solve the complicated environment problems and activate the space based on their personal experiences in order to attain the ultimate environment and build the local low-carbon happy life.

Architecture is one of the world's largest energy consuming industries, which release of greenhouse gases and energy consumption accounted for one-third of the world's total energy consumption, also, with climate change caused a lot of problems and comprehensive disaster , we must pay attention to this topic. As the result, carbon emission control has becomes the target of global concern. Therefore, Committed to reducing building's energy consumption will be the trend. Nowadays In many building energy and reduce carbon emissions issues , is most concerned about the zero energy building and zero carbon building, they are all considered to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, however, researchers from the zero-carbon building development process, found mostly always focus on the application of technical and equipment, but not much for the integration of design and method of zero carbon buildings. Therefore, this research will begin on the design and concept of zero carbon buildings, discuss about design challenges of low carbon to neutral. First, this study will review the literature and case study will be basis on low-carbon building thinking, and design strategies in integrate zero carbon buildings, to explore ways to promote real zero carbon buildings row. This research are include architectural design competition and simulated operating, trying to establish the design strategy of low carbon to neutral. The study includes the context of environmental changes and sustainable building, as well as an attempt to reduce and balance the building generated carbon emissions. And from the perspective of the building life cycle, discuss how to achieve the architectural and environmental symbiosis. Finally, establishment of the design operating strategies is proof to be available for the design stages of learning.

Climate change caused by global warming has brought serious impact on ecological and socio-economic, buildings as one of the main energy consumers and carbon emitters attract increasing attention. According to IPCC, buildings consumed 40% energy sources To mitigate the impact of global climate change, must promote low-carbon buildings. Building design and construction can decide whether to implement the concept of low-carbon buildings. Architectural practitioner's cognition toward low carbon building affecting the architectural design concept. The purpose of this study is to investigate architectural practitioner's willing of using low carbon building and related product. This questionnaire survey targeted architectural practitioner of Taiwan, and 392 questionnaires sent in total, 186 effective questionnaires were collected. All data are analyzed and verified with descriptive statistics, item analysis, factor analysis, pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and one-way analysis of variance. The study shows that important obstacles of low-carbon building design can be divided into“cost of building materials”and “proprietor acceptance”.

In the condition of Global warming, low-carbon has become an issue in this century. This issue revolutes the life style of human beings, and urge the green building and the low-carbon community to emerge. However, they are linked each other and it will not make a big difference until we put the two ones together to think about how to improve our living environment. The research finds that the green building and the low- carbon community are still isolated each other by analyzing their development. Therefore, the research puts forward an innovative green building design strategy to promote low-carbon communities. Firstly, the research proves the theoretic feasibility with literature review and case studies. Secondly, it verifies the operability with some projects which win in architectural design competitions. Finally, the new green building design strategy is established. We hope it can help other architecture learners.

As the global warming becomes more and more serious, in order to reduce carbon emissions, countries have proposed many solutions. According to the assessment report of the United Nations Climate Change Committee (IPCC) over the years, global carbon emissions are rising every year, and the global climate change phenomenon has become more serious. The data show that Taiwan's per capita carbon emissions are three times the world average, and the construction industry's carbon emissions account for about 28% of the total carbon emissions. Therefore, in recent years, the government departments have strongly promoted the implementation of green buildings, and also promoted many related energy conservation. The generation of carbon reduction stamps reflects the need for Taiwan's construction industry to reduce carbon. This research collects and sorts out the literature review data, sorts out domestic and international energy conservation trends, carbon emission summary and related measures, carbon footprint assessment, carbon reduction policy related literature, and in-depth discussion on the establishment of low-carbon building assessment framework, design categories, indicators Classification and other related materials. It also jumped away from the nine indicators framework of green buildings in China, and tried to establish a more comprehensive low-carbon building evaluation index structure based on the life cycle of buildings. After expert consultation and literature collection, the evaluation factors for screening indicators were formulated by the modified Defi method. Then, online surveys were conducted with professionals with high relevance in the construction field. The importance ranking and weight of each factor were ranked according to the analysis results of the hierarchical analysis method, and a complete low-carbon building evaluation framework was established. Finally, through the four categories in the low carbon building assessment framework established in this study, the eight indicators and the weights of the evaluation factors are used to analyze the evaluation case building, calculate the scores of the evaluation factors and collect them, and give the case construction. The score in the low carbon building assessment framework. It can also integrate the key points of low-carbon property management, conduct relevant analysis and evaluate and improve the research case, so that it can meet the scope of low-carbon property management. It is possible to more clearly examine whether building cases meet low carbon expectations, which projects do not meet the requirements and how to promote low carbon planning, and then propose to improve life cycle carbon emissions and promote the concept and importance of low carbon buildings.

Greenhouse gas (GHG), which induced by rapid growth of human population and economic development, has great impacted on the safety of lives, global environment, social-economic, health and epidemic prevention, food security, etc. Therefore, many governments invest a large amount of money and human resource in developing the techniques of low carbon emissions and renewable energy to deal the problem of global warming and climate change. In Taiwan, though the area and population is less than other country, carbon dioxide emission has significantly increase due to the social and industry activities in recent years. As a result, it is the key thing for the government and people to reduce the effect of global warming in Taiwan. The aim of this study is to build a low carbon emission and sustainable development hometown in Loudong town, Yilan County. The research is based on ten parameters: 1) environmental greening, 2) energy saving of building, 3) energy-saving equipment, 4) renewable energy, 5) green transportation, 6) resource recycling, 7) low-carbon life, 8) disaster prevention and adaptation, 9) law and economical tools, and 10) social behavioural and appraisal tools. In addition, the plan of "low-carbon sustainable homes Promotion Program Plan", Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan is also considered in this study. According to this study, some evidences show that Loudong has achieved some initial results after the action of low-carbon emission. For example, the household electricity usage in Loudong is 408.16 kWh/ month, which is lower than the average household electricity usage in Taiwan (410 kWh/ month). Approximately 0.958 Kilometres of waste are generated per person each day in Loudong. Most importantly, since 2012, more than 40% of garbage has been recycled in Loudong. In addition, the greenhouse gas emission has declined from 74649 tons/year in 2009 to 64245 tons/year in 2012. However, the household water use in Loudong, 268 Litres/ month, is still higher than the average household water use in Taiwan, 244 Litres/ month. It should be emphasised in the next stage. Based on the data of this study, the carbon dioxide emission is not low in towns/ cities. Therefore, it is necessary to set up the criteria to build up low-carbon city. In addition, to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide is not only the responsibility of government and industry sectors but also the duty of each citizen. In this study, an action of low-carbon emission is set up for Loudong. Once the case in Loudong could be successful, this will become the educational case in Taiwan.

Climate change caused by global warming has brought serious impact on ecological and socio-economic, and it is considered to cause more harm toward the living environment in the foreseeable future. Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction have become priority guideline of developed and developing countries over the years. With the rise concept of environmental protection and green consumption, living environment has become an important concern. In order to change residents’ behavior toward an more Energy Conservation way to live, it is important to understand the psychological variables of green consumption of residents. The study shows that consumer's cognition toward low carbon building and related products can be divided into product image, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use; that consumer's attitude that affect consumer’s willingness to buy can be divided into life attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and information acquisition; and that demand of green products can be divided into general energy saving equipment, energy produce equipment, energy recovery equipment, and high-tech energy saving equipment. Among which, cognition and attitude toward low carbon building shows positive relationship; cognition has positive direct impact on behavior image; attitude toward low carbon building has positive direct impact on behavior of purchasing and using low-carbon buildings and related products. The purpose of this study is to investigate consumer's willing of buying low carbon building and related product through theory of planned behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control. And with the understanding of low carbon building and related product, information acquisition, cost considerations, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), to investigate how consumer's cognition, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use affect attitude toward willingness to buy low carbon building and related product. This questionnaire survey targeted General community residents of Taiwan, and 830 questionnaires sent in total, 798 effective questionnaires were collected. All data are analyzed and verified with descriptive statistics, item analysis, factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).

Low carbon and clean green energy house is a comfortable and economic place for the people to stay. The green energy house consumes only 40% of the energy compared to the conventional house. This low carbon emission house coupled with Internet of Things (IoT) was demonstrated at National Central University. Every possible factor effects in the functioning and maintenance of the energy house was considered in the simulations. The Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations were performed in flow field mode. The local climatic conditions and the data of the micro weather station was considered for the outdoor flow field simulations. The indoor flow field simulation explores the indoor temperature, wind distribution, ventilation and air conditioning mode under different usage conditions in different climatic seasons. We simulated the effect of heat distribution in the house and placed the air conditioners for comfortable living environment. We also demonstrated the usage for both office and residential purposes and calculated the energy consumption based upon the local climatic conditions with effective usage of all the facilities available in the house. This study combines CFD and energy consumption estimation to provide comfortable living in the house with good air quality in different seasons. The user models, effective power consumption and other factors demonstrated and simulated in our research helps the future researchers in designing of power generation and storage for living in various situations.
