Texte intégralLos edificios, desde la construcción, al uso, hasta la demolición, son responsables de un considerable impacto sobre el medio ambiente. Buena parte del impacto ambiental del sector de la construcción está relacionado con el consumo de energía. Dentro de las fases del ciclo de vida del edificio, la fase de uso es aquella en que se emplea la mayor cantidad de energía. A la hora de considerar el impacto del sector, es necesario tomar en cuenta que la nueva construcción es todavía predominante a escala global. En proyectos de nueva construcción es esencial que ya desde las fases de diseño se tomen las decisiones conociendo sus implicaciones en términos de energía, para reducir el impacto negativo de los futuros edificios. En este contexto, las herramientas existentes para modelar el funcionamiento energético de los edificios pueden aplicarse para predecir sus prestaciones. Algunos autores apuntan a este tipo de aplicación como prometedora para una mejor utilización de la energía en los edificios. A pesar de la existencia de una gran variedad de herramientas que aplican desde métodos de cálculo simplificado hasta métodos de simulación avanzada, hoy día su uso en la práctica profesional es limitado. A menudo los cálculos de las prestaciones energéticas se limitan a las etapas finales del proyecto. En muchos casos se trata de verificaciones convencionales, como suele ocurrir en la aplicación de los procedimientos de cálculo necesarios para la certificación energética. Las auditorías energéticas más detalladas son desarrolladas por parte de un número limitado de consultoras energéticas en unos pocos países y se llevan a cabo para edificios excepcionales por tamaño y tipología. Las excepciones existentes no son relevantes respecto al impacto global del sector de la construcción en el medio ambiente. En la mayoría de los proyectos los procedimientos de cálculo de las prestaciones energéticas no están integrados a lo largo de todo el proceso de diseño; su eficaz y efectiva incorporación en la rutina de los profesionales en soporte a las decisiones de proyecto es fuera de lo común. Resulta paradójico que las herramientas de cálculo se exploten más en proyectos excepcionales que en la gran mayoría de los proyectos que realmente determinar el impacto del sector. En esta tesis, se investiga el uso de métodos para el cálculo de las prestaciones energéticas de los edificios en la práctica rutinaria del proyecto. El objetivo es entender mejor las barreras y las potencialidades de los distintos tipos de método de cálculo que existen actualmente con el fin de mejorar su explotación. Nuestro interés se dirige, más allá de proyectos singulares, hacia la integración de la evaluación energética en la actividad de los profesionales comunes. Con este estudio se pretende contribuir a llenar un vacío que es reconocido en la literatura: la necesidad de más investigación sobre la integración en el proceso de diseño de las herramientas para el cálculo de las prestaciones energéticas de los edificios. La mayoría de los estudios se aproximan a este tema desde los campos de la ingeniería y de la física de la construcción. En cambio, en esta tesis se aborda el tema desde la perspectiva del proyecto, prestando atención al proceso a través del cual se genera la solución de proyecto. Por tanto, el foco no está en el análisis energético, si no en su integración en el proceso de diseño. El trabajo realizado incluye una investigación teórica y dos caso de estudios. La investigación teórica abarca áreas disciplinares que tienden a estar separadas en la literatura, como el proyecto arquitectónico y la evaluación energética de los edificios. Este enfoque interdisciplinario es la base para examinar el uso de los métodos de cálculo de las prestaciones energética en el contexto del proyecto. Los dos casos de estudio sirven de complemento a la investigación teórica. Cada uno se centra en la reconstrucción y el análisis del proceso de diseño de un edificio multifamiliar de viviendas sociales. En ambos casos hemos examinado de qué manera los métodos de cálculo aplicados por el equipo de proyecto han sido integrados en el proceso. La investigación teórica se basa en la revisión de la literatura siguiendo dos líneas paralelas de estudio. Una línea aborda el proceso de diseño del edificio, abarcando desde estudios previos sobre el diseño, hasta metodologías para la integración de la evaluación energética en el proceso de diseño. El trabajo pone en evidencia la complejidad del proceso de diseño, resaltando su carácter holístico y dinámico. La otra línea de investigación se ocupa de la evaluación energética de los edificios y en particular de los métodos para el cálculo de las prestaciones energéticas. El estudio pone de manifiesto la gran diversidad que existe en la abanico de los métodos disponibles. A través de estas dos líneas de investigación se establece la base para el siguiente paso de la investigación: a partir de aquí se trata la utilización de los métodos de cálculo existentes en el contexto del proyecto. El análisis teórico se complementa mediante la observación del diseño en la práctica profesional. El estudio muestra que parte de los obstáculos que dificultan una aplicación eficaz de las herramientas para el cálculo energético es inherente al proceso de diseño. Se pone de manifiesto que cada fase del proceso de diseño es distinta, la evolución del proceso es en gran medida impredecible y la faceta de la energía se tiene que conciliar con otros aspectos del proyecto que surgen a lo largo del proceso. Por este motivo no es trivial coordinar el análisis de las prestaciones energéticas con otras tareas de diseño. Además de las dificultades que conlleva el diseño, el desafío para los equipos de proyecto se complica aún más debido a la complejidad intrínseca de la evaluación energética. En este contexto, la selección de una herramienta apropiada se vuelve crucial. Estudios precedentes destacan la necesidad de investigar sobre la identificación de métodos de cálculo adecuados para el diseño. Por esta razón, una parte central en el trabajo aborda la identificación de herramientas adecuadas para las distintas fases del proceso de diseño. Estudios anteriores han considerado varias herramientas y comparado cada una analizando sus características. En esta tesis en cambio, analizamos como estas características se adaptan a las necesidades de un equipo de profesionales que se enfrenta a un proceso de diseño, resaltando las diferencias entre cada fase del proceso y la singularidad de cada proyecto. En particular, identificamos y analizamos diez factores clave para la integración de métodos de cálculo apropiados en el proyecto (por ejemplo, la inmediatez, la exactitud, la capacidad de respuesta a las decisiones de diseño y la flexibilidad a las modificaciones de proyecto). Este conjunto de factores permite analizar sistemáticamente como las características de las herramientas de cálculo se adecuan a las necesidades del proyecto. En esta tesis se destaca que la selección de métodos de cálculo adecuados conlleva un compromiso difícil. Una aplicación eficaz de los métodos de cálculo existentes requiere la capacidad de hacer frente a necesidades contradictorias, y encontrar un equilibrio entre ellas que sea adecuado para cada proyecto. Por ejemplo, las necesidades de detalle en el modelo y de exactitud en el cálculo tienen que conciliarse con a la información disponible en cada fase de proyecto. A la vez, la creación de un modelo detallado debe ser compatible con la cantidad de tiempo disponible y con la necesidad de sincronizar las tareas de diseño. Asimismo, la complejidad del modelo debe ser congruente con las competencias del equipo de diseño. Todos estos factores, que son determinantes para la elección de los métodos de cálculo, no son obvios. Se pueden comprender a fondo solo si el proceso de diseño, un contexto de aplicación complejo, se entiende con claridad. El conflicto argumentado en esta tesis entre necesidades contrapuestas dentro de un mismo proyecto ofrece una clave para explicar el uso limitado de las herramientas de cálculo energético. En contraste con esta tendencia, a través del análisis sistemático sobre la integración en el proyecto de métodos de cálculo apropiados, intentamos construir un marco conceptual que es necesario para mejorar la aplicación de las herramientas. Esta sistematización es indispensable para facilitar la identificación de herramientas adecuadas dentro de las prácticas rutinarias de proyecto. La capacidad de seleccionar métodos de cálculo apropiados es esencial para que su uso se extienda entre más profesionales y para que las herramientas de cálculo se puedan explotar de un modo más fructuoso.
Buildings, from the construction to the use until the disposal, are responsible for a considerable impact on the environment. Much of the environmental impact of the building sector is related to energy use. In the whole building life-cycle, the largest amount of energy is employed for the building operation. When the sector impact is considered, it is necessary to take into account that new construction is still predominant at a global scale. In projects of new construction it is essential to make energy conscious decisions from the design phases to limit the negative impact of new buildings. In this context the use of existing energy modelling tools to predict building performance is seen as a promising way to improve the energy performance of buildings. Despite the existence of a great variety of tools, which implement from simplified calculation methods to advanced simulation methods, their use in current design practise is limited at present. Often energy calculations are confined to final design stages and conventional verifications, as it frequently occurs in the application of energy certification procedures. Meanwhile, deeper analyses are circumscribed to a few engineering firms in a few countries and they regard exceptional buildings in size and typology. Existing exceptions are not relevant for the global impact of the building sector. In most projects energy modelling is not deeply integrated throughout the whole process. Its effective penetration in routine work of practitioners to support design decisions is very restricted. The paradox is that energy modelling has more application in exceptional projects than in the great majority of projects that really determine the sector impact. In this thesis, the use of energy calculation methods in routine design is investigated. The aim is to better understand the application barriers and the potential of existing modelling approaches, in order to improve their exploitation. Our concern is the integration of energy assessment in the activity of common practitioners behind exceptional cases. With this study we intend to contribute to filling a gap that is recognised in literature: the need for more research on the integration of energy modelling into the design process. Most studies have been carried out in the fields of engineering and building physics. This thesis instead is approached from the design perspective, paying attention to the process by which the design solution is generated. Then the focus is not on energy analysis, but on its integration in the design process. The work carried out includes a theoretical research and two case studies. The theoretical research encompasses disciplines that tend to be separated in literature, as building design and energy performance assessment. This interdisciplinary approach is the base to examine the use of existing modelling methods within the context of building design. The theoretical research is complemented with the two case studies, each one concerning the reconstruction and the analysis of the design process of a multifamily building for social housing. In both cases we have examined how the calculation methods applied by the design team have been integrated into the process. The theoretical research is based on the review of the literature following two parallel lines of inquiry. One line deals with the building design process, spanning from previous studies on design to methodologies for the integration of performance assessment in building design. The work reveals the complexity of design, evidencing the dynamic and holistic nature of the design process. The other line of inquiry deals with energy performance assessment, and in particular, with existing methods for the calculation of the energy performance of buildings. The study gives evidence of the considerable diversity existing in the range of the available methods. These two lines of inquiry set the base for the next step of the research, which focuses on the use of existing modelling methods within the context of building design. Our theoretical analysis is complemented by observation of the real design practice. The study shows that a part of the obstacles that hinder an effective application of energy modelling are inherent to the design process. In fact, the stages of the design process differ from each other, the evolution of the process is largely unpredictable, and the energy aspect must be conciliated with other aspects that rise through the process. So it is not trivial to coordinate the energy assessment with other design tasks. The challenge for design teams is complicated further by the intrinsic complexity of building energy analysis. In this context the selection of an appropriate tool becomes crucial. Precedent studies highlighted the need for research on the identification of suitable modelling methods. For this reason, a central part in the work deals with the identification of appropriate tools to be used at different stages of the design process. Precedent studies have made a screening of individual tools to scrutinize their features. In the thesis instead we focus on how tools features match with design needs, stressing the differences between design stages and the singularity of each project. In particular we identify and discuss ten key factors for the suitability of energy modelling tools (such as feedback immediacy, responsiveness to design decisions, flexibility to design modification, accuracy and so on). This framework provides a systematic way of analysing how tools features match with design needs. The work presented in this thesis highlights that the selection of suitable calculation methods entails a difficult trade-off. In fact, the effective application of existing calculation methods requires the capacity to cope with conflicting needs in order to find a proper balance for each project. For instance, the detail and the accuracy of the model have to adapt to the information available at each design stage. At the same time, the creation of a detailed model must be compatible with the time limitations of the project and the synchronization of design tasks. Likewise, the model complexity must be congruous with the competences of the design team. All these factors, which are determinant for the choice of the energy calculation methods, are not self-evident. They are comprehensible only if the design process, the context of application, is well understood. The conflicting needs that we have identified provide an explanation for the limited use of energy calculation tools. At the same time, the systematic analysis on the suitability of calculation methods constitutes a conceptual framework that may improve the application of tools. In fact, this systematization is necessary to facilitate the identification of suitable tools for routine design. The proper selection of the calculation methods is essential to extend their use and exploit them in a more fruitful way.

Texte intégralI dagens nordiska byggbransch är det svårt för nya och innovativa byggnadslösningar att införas på grund av de preskriptiva och fyrkantiga regelverk som finns. Handel av produkter och tjänster över gränserna är något som kan luckra upp den tuffa marknaden, men det är svårt på grund av bristen utav gemensamma internationella regelverk som är funktionsbaserade med möjlighet till fire safety engeinnering. Det är något som ett nordiskt innovationsprojekt kallat Fire Safety Engineering for Innovative and Sustainable Building Solutions vill förändra. Genom att införa en ny probabilistisk metod för att verifiera brandsäkerheten i byggnader, med avsikten att skapa en nordisk standard, kan förhoppningsvis delar av dessa problem lösas. Det fjärde arbetspaketet inom projektet består av att testa den nya metoden, vilket denna avhandling är en del av. Tanken är att bedöma och ta fram förbättringsförslag till den nya probabilistiska metoden genom att jämföra den med en befintlig scenariobaserad metod och presentera förbättringsrekommendationer. Jämförelse av probabilistiska metoden utförs mot en svensk verifieringsprocess som baseras på Boverkets allmänna råd om analytisk dimensionering av byggnaders brandskydd (BBRAD) genom att verifiera brandsäkerheten i ett parkeringsgarage, som ligger under en kontorsbyggnad, med båda verifieringsmetoderna. De två funktionsbaserade analyserna behandlar avvikelser från en förenklad dimensionering, som är utförd enligt Boverkets Byggregler (BBR), och resultaten av dessa verifikationer jämförs. De krav som verifieras är; utrymning i händelse av brand, skydd mot uppkomst av brand, skydd mot utveckling och spridning av brand och rök i byggnader, skydd mot brandspridning mellan byggnader, möjlighet till räddningsinsats och att säkerställa bärförmåga vid brand. Brandskyddets utformning och metodernas behandling av avvikelserna jämförs och analyseras vilket konkluderar i de rekommendationer för förbättring som presenteras. Frågor som har besvarats under arbetsprocessen är: Hur behandlar metoderna möjligheten att dimensionera brandsäkerheten utan sprinklersystem? Vad är den stora skillnaden mellan de två verifieringsmetoderna? Vilka förbättringar kan göras på den nya probabilistiska metoden? Rekommendationerna till förbättring som har tagits fram är baserad på arbetsprocessen i den probabilistiska metoden och jämförelsen med den svenska verifieringsprocessen. Utveckling av följande områden förespråkas: Behandling av kritiska nivåer i utrymningsscenarion Uppställning av en gemensam statistiskdatabas för de nordiska länderna Förbättrad förklaring om hur man utför valideringarna av analysen Avhandlingen omfattar inte alla delar som behövs vid bandskyddsprojektering utan fokusera endast på avvikelserna från den förenklade dimensioneringen. Verifikationen är endast utförd på parkeringsgaraget, det vill säga kontorsdelen av byggnaden behandlas inte.

Texte intégralThe construction sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by energy and environmental concerns. The design solutions proposed to meet these objectives must not compromise indoor air quality (IAQ). Despite the major public health risks associated with this issue, design actors lack tools to assess the performance of the design solutions in terms of IAQ. This thesis aims to address this challenge by proposing a consistent and integrated methodology for evaluating the health, energy and environmental performance of building design solutions. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been identified as a relevant methodology for integrating into a standardised methodological framework the evaluation of the building performance in terms of IAQ, energy and environment through common impact metrics.In order to better characterise the impacts generated by indoor air pollution and energy consumption during the operational phase of the building, we developed a numerical model coupling heat and mass transfers in the building envelope. This model evaluates the emission of pollutants from building materials (inventory) until their fate in indoor environments (transport) as a function of the temperature. The integration of this model into the LCA allowed us to quantify the impact of different construction materials on the indoor and outdoor environment of the building and to compare them with the impacts generated during their production and end of life phase. The results obtained show the sensitivity of this model to behaviour-driven parameters.The occupant has a major role in the problem of IAQ and its consideration is a key element to quantify occupants’ exposure to indoor pollutants with fewer uncertainties. We developed an agent-based model simulating human behaviour within residential buildings using an advanced cognitive architecture that integrates both the deliberative and social behaviour of occupants. By coupling the pollutant transport model with the human behavioural agent model, we explored to which extent the exposure to indoor pollution is sensitive to the occupants' lifestyle and the occupants' behaviour influences the fate of pollutants in indoor environments. This is a preliminary step in estimating a confidence interval of the simulation results, paving the way for a performance guarantee process in terms of IAQ

The estimated housing deficit in Brazil was 5.6 million in 2008, in which 83.5% was in urban areas, wherein to meet such demand there is a need for industrialized construction. Prefabricated building systems with precast panels for residential buildings were largely applied in Europe after the Second World War and it has been applied recently in countries of Latin America and Asia. Although construction companies have been using building systems with precast panels for affordable housing in Brazil since the 80´s, the absence of a prescriptive code of practice for design of precast panels demands certification for each system, which needs to meet the performance requirements according to ABNT-NBR 15575:2013. In order to increase the application of prefabricated systems a new Brazilian Code of Practice for Precast Panels, based on international codes, has been concluded and it is now waiting for final approval. In order to achieve optimum performance, constructability and sustainability of the building project there is a need for integration between architectural and structural designs, as well the interaction between product and production, starting from product development based on the analysis of added value for each project until the rationalization of the processes. The level of prefabrication depends on the number and repetition of units. The aim of this research is to identify and define design guidelines based on performance for building systems with precast concrete panels for residential buildings. The literature revision was carried out starting from international references and codes until the study of the Brazilian codes of practice, including the new code for precast concrete panels. In addition, the research presents the main types of panels and typologies for residential buildings with potential to be applied in Brazil. Finally, an example of performance based design for precast concrete panels is presented with some discussions. This study demonstrate that architects and structural engineers can now design building systems with precast panels based on the new codes of practice and numeric simulations without the need of further tests for certification.
O déficit habitacional no Brasil era de 5,6 milhões em 2008, sendo 83,5% na área urbana, onde para atender esta demanda seria necessário o emprego da construção industrializada. Sistemas construtivos com painéis pré-moldados para residências foram amplamente aplicados na Europa após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, e também têm sido aplicados recentemente em países da América Latina e Ásia. Embora construtoras venham utilizando sistemas com painéis pré-moldados para habitações no Brasil desde a década de 80, a falta de normas prescritivas para projeto em painéis demanda certificações para cada sistema, que precisam atender aos requisitos de desempenho conforme a ABNT NBR 15575:2013. Com o objetivo de aumentar a aplicação de sistemas pré-fabricados, uma nova norma de prescrições brasileira, baseada em referências técnicas e normativas internacionais, foi concluída e aguarda sua aprovação final. Somente com integração entre os projetos das diferentes disciplinas é possível obter uma otimização de desempenho, construtibilidade e sustentabilidade da edificação, mas também deve haver a interação de projeto enquanto produto e produção, partindo do desenvolvimento do produto, com análise do valor agregado para cada solução de projeto até a racionalização do processo de produção, onde o nível de pré-fabricação depende do número e repetição das unidades a serem empreendidas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e sistematizar diretrizes de projeto com base no desempenho para sistemas construtivos em painéis pré-moldados de concreto, com aplicação em edifícios habitacionais. A revisão da literatura foi desenvolvida a partir das referências e normas internacionais, passando pelo estudo de normas brasileiras, incluindo o projeto de norma de painéis pré-moldados de concreto. Além disso, esta pesquisa apresenta os principais tipos de painéis e principais tipologias com potencial de aplicação para construções residenciais no Brasil. Finalmente, apresenta-se um exemplo de aplicação de avaliação de desempenho com a discussão de alguns resultados. Este estudo demonstra que arquitetos e engenheiros estruturais poderão, com a aprovação da nova normalização brasileira, desenvolver projetos com painéis pré-moldados em concreto com base em prescrições técnicas e simulações numéricas, sem a necessidade de se realizar novos ensaios para certificação para cada nova aplicação de sistemas construtivos pré-fabricados com painéis.

Nowadays, in the perspective of an efficient building energy management, the exploitation of this strategy is proving to be a promising solution for minimising overall energy consumptions and costs. However, investigations on the feasibility of the technique in real existing buildings are at an initial stage. Hence, the main outcome of this dissertation is the design and development of a prototype hardware and software set up for on-field testing of a model-based predictive control system, integrating a virtual predictive model of the portion of the building under investigation, the controller and the interface to the monitoring and regulation devices used. Moreover, this research is addressed to investigate the technical feasibility of the development and deployment of a typical MPC system, which includes a monitoring sub-system, a data acquisition set up and a system identification method to obtain the model for the controller by means of a grey-box modelling approach. The modelling phase and the empirical approach developed are presented in the first part of this research thesis, while the core part concerns: the development of the MPC prototype, within a virtual instrument of LabVIEW software and the description of the experimental test, which was carried out during heating season, ensuring normal building operation during the entire monitoring period. Finally, this dissertation presents the study developed in simulation environment to investigate the potential of the control logic for the evaluation of retrofitting scenarios. The focus is on the definition of the main MPC simulator components and on the results obtained by testing one of the intervention scenarios.

Current structural design practice is primarily concerned with optimizing the construction cost and schedule of a building project, while ensuring that the structure meets basic safety and serviceability requirements. The maintenance costs, alteration/replacement costs, and end-of-life costs associated with the support of the structure after the initial construction process is given far less consideration. Initial research indicates that, for a typical building, the majority of the cost over the system life cycle is incurred after the original structure has been completed. The ultimate value and longevity of a building is, therefore, largely dependant on the ability of the structure to be economically maintained and easily modified during its service life. The objective of this paper is to outline a design process that considers how buildings interact with time. The process involves two fundamental steps: (1) the modularization of the structure to accommodate how different parts of the building change over time and (2) the design of modular components in consideration of their expected service life. Life cycle cost methods are applied to evaluate the performance of design alternatives-thus making it easier to explicitly consider the cost associated with how a structure will be supported and may be adapted over time, in addition to the customary tasks of calculating construction costs and schedules. Despite the apparent benefits to this approach, there are a number of obstacles preventing the adoption of life cycle design principles into professional practice. Specific obstacles to implementation are discussed with respect to the construction industries in both the United States and Japan. The paper concludes with the description of further case study research to be conducted in the Japan during the summer of 2003, the findings of which will be published as an addendum to this document.

Texte intégrals hysteretic model have been calibrated using a search method. In the calibration process experimental data of a total of twenty-two beam and column specimens, tested under constant and variable amplitude displacement histories, has been used. Fine-tuning of deterioration parameters is essential for more realistic predictions about inelastic behavior and structural damage. In order to provide more realistic damage prediction, three ranges of parameters are proposed. Some damage controlling structural parameters have been assessed via a large number of two-dimensional section analyses, inelastic time history and damage analyses of SDOF systems and seismic vulnerability analyses of reinforced concrete buildings. Inelastic time history and damage analyses of numerous SDOF systems have been carried out to determine whether the loading history has an effect on damage and dissipated hysteretic energy. Then this emphasis is directed to the analyses of MDOF systems. In the analyses of the SDOF systems, various forms of constant and variable amplitude inelastic displacement reversals and synthetic ground motions composed of one of the four earthquake records preceded or followed by its modified records acted as a prior or successive earthquake, have been used. The analyses of two five-story R/C buildings have been caried out using synthetic accelerograms comprised of base input provided by the two recorded ground motions. It is shown that both damage progression and cumulative hysteretic energy dissipated along a path seem to depend on the number and amplitude of cycles constituting the path. However, final damage and accumulated hysteretic energy dissipated along a loading path are independent of the ordering of the same number and amplitude cycles along the path. There is a nonlinear relationship between the earthquake excitation intensity and final damage attained in the end. Increase in the acceleration amplitude leads to exponential increase in damage. As the prior earthquake intensity increases the damage from the succeding main earthquake decreases. A definite ground motion acting as prior and successive earthquake causes substantially different amount of damage. Prior earthquake damage does not substantially affect the maximum drift response in future larger earthquakes. A MDOF frame type structure with aprior damage suffers less overall damage in an earthquake in comparison with the one without a prior damage.

Texte intégralThe growing awareness about issues related to environmental sustainability and energy consumption reduction of the built environment has led to a shift in building process and technologies. In this framework, the greater attention is addressed towards building envelope as major responsible for building energy efficiency so as for the internal environmental comfort of end-users. Besides, interests of various disciplines have been directed not only to the production of sustainable architectures but even towards a new generation of energy-efficient, interactive buildings, defined smart buildings, capable of reacting to the continuous variability of the surroundings and the ever-changing needs of end-users. In the context here depicted, fenestration systems have been identified as one of the major responsible for buildings’ behaviour towards the external environment (it has been appraised that windows are accountable for about the 60% of the whole building energy consumption). From these considerations descend the choice to deal with glazed components, under the opportunities research offers in this field due to still existing shortcomings related to the specific role they play within building envelope systems. Indeed, it is evident that fact that glass is still the building component that needs of the most implementation in terms of performance – presenting issues that cannot be resolved only resorting to materials’ innovation – but that is, at the same time, a material with great potential, due to its intrinsic ability in reacting to external stimuli. Therefore, the main objective of the present research is to provide a solution to the existing lack of guidance about how existing glazing technologies could be profitably integrated into buildings in a way that maximises their performance. So, after investigating the world of the smart building envelopes, as the latest goal of contemporary architectural and technological research – developing a characterization of them through the creation of a supporting database of smart architecture – the present work exploring the role that transparent building components play in this framework, classifying existing glazing technologies and providing a systematic methodology to assess their building integration potential. The final aim of this research was to design a decision support tool(box) for architects, to inform and create new design possibilities, providing an insight into the application and design of smart building envelope systems and understanding role and potentialities of transparent building components within this specific framework. Such toolbox is composed of three separated tools: i) a balanced scorecard, ii) an assessment matrix and iii) the smart windows configurator, final achievement of the dissertation. It is conceived as a sort of open matrix for compiling and quantify options for decision making support towards the conscious and effective integration of transparent building components within advanced and innovative building envelope systems, bridging the gap from current practice thus supporting further research and development activities.

Healthcare facilities are dynamic, long-term investments that must be able to respond to change in order to avoid obsolescence. Flexibility is one response which enables facilities to combat changes and/ or uncertainties. This thesis explores the relationships between flexibility, Interstitial Building Space and Evidence Based Design, documents each relationship, and depicts their interrelated nature with the establishment of an overarching framework.

Texte intégralFaçades montés sur l'extérieur de bâtiments à protéger l'intérieur d'environnements agressifs, en plus de contribuer à leur esthétique et performances techniques. Malheureusement, malgré quelques ratés façade graves impliquant des morts et des blessés, leur inspection et d'entretien, qui sont essentiels pour la sécurité du public, ont été généralement ignorée. Le 16 Juillet 2009, un élément de façade en béton grand, pesant 320 kg, détaché de la structure du bâtiment d'un hôtel de Montréal et est tombé sur son café sur le trottoir extérieur, tuant instantanément une jeune femme fête son anniversaire et blessé son mari. Certaines grandes villes américaines, comme New York, Chicago et Boston ont appris de telles tragédies, et neuf villes américaines ont adopté des lois ou des munitions qui nécessitent des inspections obligatoires périodiques façade pour assurer la sécurité du public. Toutefois, les villes canadiennes n'ont pas similaires réglementations strictes pour guider les performances conception, la construction, l'entretien et du cycle de vie des façades pour assurer leur sécurité pendant la durée de vie. Le Code national du bâtiment du Canada (CNBC) comporte des dispositions de sécurité pour les éléments de construction qui mettent en œuvre la séparation de l'environnement, mais les normes du CNB et autres pertinentes de la CSA ne traite pas de manière adéquate les questions de maintenance, de performance et de durabilité liés à l'exécution de ces façades. Ce programme de recherche est une tentative d'élaborer et de recommander des stratégies pour minimiser ces risques par l'inspection obligatoire et des programmes de maintenance, et d'éliminer les tragédies semblables ne se reproduisent à l'avenir.
