Abstract:

Existing commercial buildings are performing poorly relative to the demands of the decarbonising agenda. The result is not only excess carbon emissions, but working environments that are sub-optimal for occupants. This thesis covers the development and trial of the Green Performance Evaluation Tool (GPET) which identifies five key elements impacting holistic building performance. The GPET shows interlinked and interdependent weaknesses across the five elements and proposes a new concept called ‘Conscious Building’.

Abstract:

The attention on green building is driven by the desire to reduce a building’s running cost over its entire life cycle. However, with the use of sustainable technologies and more environmentally friendly products in the building sector, the construction industry contributes significantly to sustainable actions of our society. Different certification systems have entered the market with the aim to measure a building’s sustainability. However, each system uses its own set of criteria for the purpose of rating. The primary goal of this study is to identify a comprehensive set of criteria for the

In this thesis electromagnetic wave propagation is investigated in an indoor environment. The indoor environment is a furnished office building with corridors, corners and rooms. Particularly, there is an atrium through the building in the center. For the study there were measurements available from real building in the 2.1 GHz frequency band. One objective is to design a propagation model that should be simple but reflect the trend of the propagation measurements. Furthermore, a system performance evaluation is carried out based on the implemented model. The proposed 3D model is a combination

Abstract:

In the UK it is well documented that the domestic buildings we occupy contribute significantly to anthropogenic climate change, through their energy consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions. To reduce these emissions, strict legislative targets require considerable changes to the construction of dwellings (for instance, by improving insulation and air tightness) and also to the technological systems that service them (both passively and actively). Routine validation of, and feedback from, the operation of occupied buildings is seldom conducted despite growing evidence that performan

Abstract:

In wireless systems, providing high data rate services is a major challenge, particularly for mobile terminals (MTs) in multi-floor buildings. The system performance is impaired by path loss, and co-channel interference due to the need to reuse the limited available spectrum. One way to achieve high data rates and better signal quality in this environment is by getting the transmitter and the receiver closer to each other through the use of distributed antenna systems (DASs). DAS reduces the overall transmit power (and hence co-channel interference) and achieves better link reliability by expl

The energy used in non-domestic buildings accounts for 18 % of the energy use in the UK. Within the non-domestic building stock, 11 % of office buildings have a very high influence on the energy use. Thus, the retrofit of office buildings has a significant potential for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction within the non-domestic building stock. However, the replacement rate of existing buildings by new-build is only around 1-3 % per annum.

Abstract:

Post-occupancy evaluations represent an important missed opportunity. While POEs are often used to inform design guides, and to support facility management, they are seldom used to support design decision-making. While there are several technical, methodological, and cultural impediments to the ongoing use of POE results in design, characteristics of POE data and data structure is an important, and often overlooked, impediment. Some evaluators have attempted to resolve this problem by involving actively as consultants in design teams or involving users, such as Placemaking or Process Architec

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’intéresse à la question de l’évaluation des Systèmes Multi-Agents (SMA). Les caractéristiques propres que possèdent ces derniers, notamment en termes d’autonomie, de distribution, de dynamique et de socialité, ont grandement contribué à l’élargissement de leurs champs d’application, mais en contrepartie, elles ont rendu leur analyse plus ardue. Ainsi, les méthodes d’évaluation dans les systèmes informatiques classiques s’avèrent insuffisantes à analyser les SMA, étant donné qu’elles ne tiennent pas compte de leurs spécificités. L’objectif de cette thèse consiste donc à proposer u

Abstract:

An analytical study was carried out to evaluate shear wall indexes for low to mid-rise reinforced concrete structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different shear wall ratios on performance of buildings to be utilized in the preliminary assessment and design stages of reinforced concrete buildings with shear walls. In order to achieve this aim, forty five 3D building models with two, five and eight storeys having different wall ratios were generated. Linearly elastic and nonlinear static pushover analyses of the models were performed by SAP2000. Variation of roof drift

Abstract:

The market shift towards high performance buildings is posing a major challenge to decision- makers, designers and developers. They need to know what constitutes high performance design and practice, what the environmental consequences of decisions are, and how buildings are performing relative to anchored benchmarks. This doctoral dissertation provides building designers and operators methods on how to use life-cycle approaches to inform design and track performance. The research focuses on a case-study of the lifecycle impacts of advanced buildings at UBC, built to various standards of perfo

Abstract:

Phase Change Materials have been the subject of increased research in modern times. Phase Change Materials, abbreviated as PCMs, are being used in a variety of applications in the energy conservation world. In this study, the effect of PCMs on a residential building’s energy consumption was evaluated at different locations across the United States and compared to the standard building at the same locations. An average American residential building was designed and modeled in SketchUp software. The building was evaluated for energy consumption at different locations across the United States

Low energy consumption and reduced carbon dioxide emissions can be achieved if the energy-saving index is taken into account when a building is being designed. Building envelopes can be considered the most significant factors among the various energy impact factors. For example, reduced use of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting equipment can be achieved by simply considering the interaction between the buil

Based on the prevailing capacity spectrum method which was adopted in famous ATC-40, static pushover analysis has gained significant popularity in seismic engineering during the past few years. It provides a good ability to predict failure modes of a structure subjected to a monotonic loading in case of well defining of each member’s plastic hinge(P.H.). According to the theoretical bases and the empirical information, the combined a

Innovation marketing must invest more resources, ideas and tools to achieve faster, more effective, precise and close to the needs of enterprises so as to capture the hearts of consumers. The traditional 4Ps, 4Cs or even the currently eye-catching 4Rs have not been able to fully meet the needs of the businesses and consumers. Special projects applied in marketing activities are already become a trend. Therefore, this study will adopt the innovative marketing 7Ps concept to
