Abstract:

Determining optimum building orientation for naturally ventilated buildings is an important concept. Obtaining the optimum orientation will determine the success of the performance of a naturally ventilated building.<br>This project deals with obtaining the preferred building orientation for 10 regional weather stations across the province of Ontario. Different methods were utilized to obtain the preferred building orientation: the average ventilation rate method, the percentage of ventilation rates above and below the minimum summer ventilation rates, and the consecutive hours method, ie. the

Abstract:

Mull Theatre is a professional touring theatre company based on a small island off the west coast of Scotland. In 2008 the company relocated from a small converted cow byre which seated 42 people to a new purpose-built venue –Druimfin - on a different part of the island. The move was made possible through a grant from the Scottish Arts Council in 2006, which was awarded on the expectation that the new building would be a ‘production centre’ as opposed to a theatre. That is to say the emphasis in the design of the new space was to be placed on the production rather than the reception of the the

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’.

The costs and sources of the materials used have also been evaluated and the prices of timber and brick compared during the crucial period when brick was supplanting timber as an economic material.

Abstract:

Due to the significant impact of the building sector on greenhouse gas emissions, newer and stricter regulations aimed at reducing total energy use in buildings have appeared in the last few years. In the European context, all the new constructions will thus soon be asked to be nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). In order to reach this target, new concepts and technologies capable of further improving buildings’ energy efficiency need to be developed. A very promising strategy to overcome current technologylimitations is represented by revisiting the conventional approach that considers the

A property holder may then enter consumption data together with about 50 other building specific parameters to this data base in order to enable benchmarking and energy performance evaluations.

Many, not threatened by obsolescence, require upgrading to comply with statutory regulations. Others are improved to provide the occupants with twenty-first century standards of environmental comfort, lighting and power, sanitation, security and communications systems. The revitalisation o

By designing areas and impose restrictions on what the individual property owner may do with their building, the municipality can ensure that their ambitions of preservation are

The modern construction industry has undergone several changes since the introduction of Building information modelling (BIM). Mistakes that occur repeatedly and inevitably in the design and construction process could be controlled to a greater extent with the introduction of BIM. But using BIM for existing building has been a challenge. The usefulness of BIM is further challenged by features and interoperability issues with the lack of a user-friendly interface. Thus, many research opportunities when creating economical and automated BIM of existing buildings achieve a certain level of BIM ma
