Full textAbstract:
Effective daylighting can substantially reduce the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of commercial buildings. Daylight is also healthy for building occupants, and contributes to occupant satisfaction. When productivity improvements are considered, effective daylighting is also highly attractive financially. However, successful daylighting of sub-tropical buildings is a very difficult task, due to high direct irradiances and excessive solar shading. A device was created that combined effective solar shading and efficient daylight redirection. The micro-light guiding shade panel achieves all objectives of an optimal daylighting device placed on the façade of a sub-tropical, high rise office building. Its design is based on the principles of non-imaging optics. This provides highly efficient designs offering control over delivered illumination, within the constraints of the second law of thermodynamics. Micro-light guiding shade panels were constructed and installed on a test building. The tested devices delivered daylight deep into the building under all conditions. Some glare was experienced with a poorly chosen translucent material. Glare was eliminated by replacing this material. Construction of the panels could be improved by application of mass-manufacturing techniques including metal pressing. For the micro-light guiding shade panel to be utilised to its full potential, building designers must understand its impact on building performance early in the design process. Thus, the device must be modelled with lighting simulation software currently in use by building design firms. The device was successfully modelled by the RADIANCE lighting simulator. RADIANCE predictions compared well with measurements, providing bias generally less than 10%. Simulations greatly aided further development of the micro-light guiding shade panel. Several new RADIANCE algorithms were developed to improve daylight simulation in general.

Full textAbstract:
The past three decades have been a time of intensive development for high-rise housing in Shanghai. It has grown from an experimental prototype to the city's predominant form of housing. In this thesis, three periods in the developmental progress of Shanghai's high-rise housing will be examined, beginning in 1972. The interrelationships between the specific socioeconomic contexts, building codes, and design strategies are explored sequentially, and twelve typical high-rise housing projects are discussed, in an effort to trace the evolution of high-rise housing design strategies.The study focuses primarily on three aspects of high-rise housing design: site organization, building design and unit layout. Responses to socio-economic transformation and building code regulations related to architectural design strategies are explored from the macro to the micro level. The experiences and lessons learned from previous works are reviewed, as well as suggestions for improving the performance of future projects, through approaches to architectural design and building-code adjustments.

MacLennan, H. A. "A study of the performance of office workers descending multiple flights of stairs in high rise office buildings in trial evacuations." Thesis, University of Salford, 2013. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/29452/.
Full textAbstract:
Aim: The Aim of this PhD study is to study the performance of mature age office workers descending multiple flights of stairs in trial evacuations of high rise office buildings in the context of extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Method: A case study process coupled with mixed methods data collection and analysis was selected with the unit of analysis being the office worker descending the stairs. An Exploratory case study involving the reanalysis of data from a similar study was undertaken to confirm the selection of the research method. Six high rise buildings were selected varying from 7 to 36 storeys . Trial evacuations were held and data collected via survey, observation and physical assessment. Two explanatory case studies involving a Delphi group and focus groups classified the main contextual issues as the intrinsic ones of the occupant and the extrinsic ones of Stair Design and Construction, Others on the Stairs and Management/ Maintenance. The other explanatory study comprised a directed content analysis of a two extremely relevant media documents related to multiple flight stair descent. The data was analysed and findings established by generalisation where trends could be explained quantitatively and otherwise via triangulation. Results and Conclusions: Fatigue predicting descent performance ability was determined by triangulation and generalisation. Density could mask fatigue as the result of delays that would allow people to descend at more slowly. Descent performance ability for 50% of the population was 300 metres in 1980 reducing to 240 metres in 2010. The risk of falling related directly to this distance and the spiralling action of turning at each landing . Triangulation showed this action increased the risk of vertigo and dizziness as well as the impact of increased BMI and health conditions on stability. The significant (p<.05) contextual extrinsic factors were found to be stair descent risk, need for clear visibility and support from reachable handrails, trial evacuation strategies and procedures and group dynamics. There are other less significant findings explained by context and the “cause and effect directed” case study research method.

Alnusairat, Saba. "Approaches to skycourt design and performance in high-rise office buildings in a temperate climate." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2018. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/111900/.
Full textAbstract:
Skycourts recently have been considered as beneficial spaces in commercial buildings, particularly offices. Research is steadily growing on the energy performance of these spaces but there is a lack of conclusive results in the available literature. Ventilation is a main contributor to energy consumption in offices. This study aims to examine the potentials of skycourts to perform as transitional buffer zones with suitable ventilation strategies in office buildings in a temperate climate, such as London. The goal is to investigate reduction in energy demands of heating and cooling for the building; and in addition to ensure an accepted level of thermal comfort for occupants in these skycourts. The study was conducted in three key phases. Firstly, a literature review highlighted issues related to the skycourt and ventilation requirements in high-rise office buildings. Secondly, common prototypes of skycourts in the research context were extracted through analysing their spatial configurations as transitional buffer zones. Thirdly, simulations were conducted using a coupled approach between Building Energy Simulation and Computational Fluid Dynamics to define efficient configurations of skycourts that have potentials of energy saving, and offer an accepted level of thermal comfort. The annual energy demand for heating and cooling for the building, in addition to air temperature, and airspeed in the occupied area of the skycourt were adopted as main criteria for comparing the results. According to the results, the skycourt as a free-heated and free-cooled buffer zone, which is ventilated by the maximum airflow volume rate exhausted from the adjacent offices, achieved a total reduction of over 55% in building heating and cooling energy demands annually. In addition, it accomplished a comfort occupied zone. Finally, the study developed guidelines to help designers define the most effective configurations of ventilated skycourts in office buildings for temperate climates,which reduced building energy consumption, according to the design needs.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis aims to examine how the formation of façades, that is, the interface with a dual response both to interior functioning and exterior urban fabric, is separated from the totality of architectural design by new technological developments and design intentions. This aim is accomplished in three sections, respectively: analysis of the faç
ade, the properties and formation process in time
examining the faç
ade formation of the high-rise office buildings in Levent-Maslak area in respect to the analysis and examining the working principles and marketing attitudes of faç
ade manufacturing firms in terms of their role in faç
ade formation. The focus is on the description of a faç
ade and the process that generated the autonomy in time is examined. In this sense, the thesis analyzes that the &

application, by which physical autonomy is totally gained, transforms the faç
ade to a production element by using the technological developments and specifications of curtain-wall system in the Turkish context, in particular in Levent-Maslak area. Besides the technical availability, the representational qualities of the new materials transform this production based character of the free-faç
ade to a more representational character as an object-faç
ade. Finally, the study investigates how the technical knowledge inherent in the new faç
ade systems gives the authority,in formation process of faç
ades, to the manufacturing firms instead of the architect. It is therefore stressed that the changing role of the architect in the formation process of faç
ades is often based on the working principles and marketing attitudes of faç
ade manufacturing firms at present.

Full textAbstract:
This research has been carried out with the aim to investigate how high rise office building design in tropical climate can contribute in reducing energy consumption while maintaining comfort. The main objective of this study is to compare the performance of a sample of bioclimatic high rise office blocks with that of conventional ones when situated in a tropical climate such as that in Malaysia. The research firstly reviewed all the characteristics of bioclimatic buildings in the Malaysian Peninsula particularly the traditional Malay house and the transformation through time. Secondly, the research studied some design planning and architecture of several high-rise office buildings principally the bioclimatic approaches. Thirdly, the claimed benefits of bioclimatic design approach for high rise office buildings were examined in the results of previously conducted research projects, dealing with energy consumption and design approaches which compares the bioclimatic and conventional high rise. The performance was measured according to a combination of technical and social criteria: direct observation on various architectural aspects, environmental measurement and users' perception of comfort and satisfaction with their working environment via questionnaires. The energy consumptions were compared based on the electricity bills recorded for at least a year period. The local building energy index is used as the benchmark to check whether there were real energy savings in the bioclimatic high rise office blocks or otherwise. The major finding of this work is that the occupants in bioclimatic high rise office buildings have a higher level of satisfaction with their working environment than those in conventional office blocks. There is evidence that bioclimatic high rise office buildings are energy efficient as the most recent bioclimatic high rise office building (Menara UMNO), has a lower energy index than the ASEAN standard and within the latest Malaysian Standard related to energy efficiency. In the past, high rise buildings have been perceived as inefficient users of energy, with the new bioclimatic design concept and technologies, there is no doubt that high rise office buildings in the future would be much better in design that provide better environment to the users and consume less energy.

Jaberansari, M. "The effect of atrium configurations on energy usage in high-rise office buildings in semi-arid climate of Tehran." Thesis, University of Salford, 2018. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/48371/.
Full textAbstract:
The building sector is responsible for at least 30% of energy use in most countries worldwide (UN environment, 2017) and around 33% of energy is used by HVAC systems in buildings (Salib & Wood, 2013). As a passive design element, an atrium has the potential to naturally provide heating and cooling, as well as adequate daylight, in arid and temperate climates. Moreover, a naturally ventilated atrium has also proven to be a useful environmental feature in tall building design (Moosavi et al., 2014; Salib & Wood, 2013; Sharples & Bensalem, 2001). This thesis investigated the impact of different configurations of atria on the energy performance of tall office buildings in Tehran. Despite having a rich history of climatic conscious design, the contemporary architecture of the Middle East, and Iran as one of the countries in this region, has witnessed excessive energy use (Holford & Hunt, 2003). The building sector in Iran consumes six times more energy in comparison to that of average European countries (Asgar, 2014a). Moreover, the HVAC sector in Iran uses 61% of the energy in office buildings (IFCO Iranain organization for Fuel Consumption Optimisation in the country, 2010). Providing thermal comfort via passive means is a challenge for tall buildings situated in semi-arid climates and therefore, the atria design for this region is of utmost importance. In this thesis, different types of atria are incorporated into square and rectangular plan tall office buildings and their performances are examined when the buildings are only naturally ventilated throughout the year. The outputs are compared to when HVAC assists the naturally ventilated buildings, and for this, a Dynamic Thermal Simulation (DTS) tool, called Design Builder, has been used. This thesis utilises a Design Science research method. A number of scenarios were simulated with different atria configurations for square and rectangular plan buildings. The outcome of the simulation showed that the atria located on the north and west façades generally perform more efficiently in minimising heat loss. It was also concluded that rectangular plan models generally perform more efficiently than square plan models in terms of lowering energy load and ensuring fewer uncomfortable hours. Amongst the rectangular plan models, the lowest heating and cooling load prototypes had a reduction of 66.65% in energy load. Meanwhile, amongst the square plan models the lowest heating and cooling load prototype had a reduction of 33.71% in energy load.

assumption, the study further questions in the context of polycentric US metropolis,
whether or not the distribution of transnational advanced producer service firms define a
new form of centrality, in which the traditional central business districts and suburban
centers differ from each other in terms of spatial clustering patterns and sectoral
distributions of transnational advanced producer service firms. Spatial clustering patterns
of advanced producer service firms are evaluated according to high-rise and high-density
criteria. In ten selected cities, clusters of advanced producer service firms and high-rise
office buildings are identified through the Nearest Neighbor Hierarchical Clustering

Full textAbstract:
The use of high strength concrete in the construction industry has become more frequent as both the knowledge of the behaviour of the material and the confidence in its production have increased. An appropriate formulation of materials and mix proportions can result in significantly enhanced performance such as high early strength, reduced heat of hydration and increased durability. As a step towards obtaining optimum performance, an investigation has been carried out on the fresh properties (workability), temperature rise during hydration and strength development. This research was aimed at understanding the role of supplementary cementing materials in binary (OPC+PFA, GGBS, CSF) and ternary (OPC+ CSF/PFA, CSF/GGBS) combinations in these three areas. With respect to workability the use of binary mixes of PFA or CSF reduce the superplasticiser dosage required to obtain a target slump, whereas GGBS increases it. Optimum replacement levels of 10% CSF, 40%PFA+l0%CSF and 60%GGBS+l0% CSF were found at a water/binder ratio of 0.26. Binary mixes of 40% PFA or 60% GGBS reduce the peak semi-adiabatic temperature rise compared to their equivalent OPC mix at 0.26 water/binder ratio. Ternary combinations of 10% CSF with PFA or GGBS have shown significant reductions in peak temperature rise compared to their equivalent binary mixes. Measurement of the in-situ strength by temperature matched curing (TMC) has shown higher early age strengths but lower long term strengths for both binary and ternary mixes compared to cubes cured under standard conditions (20°C). Microstructural evaluation of hardened cement paste indicates that these differences in strength are likely to be associated with stresses generated at the paste/aggregate interface. A novel non-destructive technique to assess the in-situ strength has shown good correlation between conductivity and strength development of high strength concrete.

Modular construction has long been utilized in the construction of residential and many other commercial product types as a means for potentially quicker construction delivery times. Over the past 5 years this construction technique has slowly been introduced into the high rise residential market throughout the world. The additional structural challenges of high rise construction make modular construction in this setting more challenging, but the high construction costs of high rise construction also make any savings in time and hard cost worth consideration. Based on case studies, interviews and financial simulations this thesis will address the design, engineering, sustainability, scheduling, legal and financial considerations a developer would likely consider in adopting modular construction in a high rise project in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of increasing renewable energy production to facilitate a sustainable energy transition has been well-discussed and reinforced worldwide. In land- and resource-scarce and tropical Singapore, solar has been deemed the most feasible renewable energy technology for the country moving forward. Previous studies have focused on assessing the feasibility of various solar technologies. This paper instead analyses the rooftop solar power production potential of existing high-rise residential buildings in Singapore, and thus contributes to reaching the national solar goal using geographic information system geospatial imagery. For this study, the chosen focus area is the south of Jurong East in Singapore. Results show that solar deployment on all available public high-rise residential building rooftop areas in the focus area will be able to generate a total potential solar peak power and annual solar energy output of 2-megawatt peak and 2.8-gigawatt hour per year respectively. This equates to meeting the energy demand of 679 public residential apartments in the focus area and meeting 0.18% of the national solar goal of reaching 1.5- gigawatt peak by 2025. In an urban context, the use of geospatial analysis has been presented to benefit urban planning especially with regards to the integration of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.

Full textAbstract:
Both practitioners and academics have recently begun referring to humanitarian agencies operating within an active 'aid marketplace' in which limited funding pits actors against each other in pursuance of their own projects and wider aims. This thesis seeks to explore how the pressures of a competitive environment impact on the motivations and actions of aid actors at an individual and organizational level. Based on the common saying that aid workers are 'mercenaries, missionaries and misfits', I construct a typology of pressures (interest-based, altruistic, and bureaucratic), which, it is argued, can be used to explain and understand much of this competitive and collaborative behaviour. A particular focus of the thesis is the impact of these various influences on the process and politics of information transfer and discourse creation regarding the process of needs assessment, monitoring and evaluation. I explore all of these issues through the medium of a case study of UNHCR's interventions in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2015, and seek to provide a detailed history of the agency's activities, politics and challenges during this period. In particular I am interested in the motivations driving the agency's actions; the strategies it has employed to achieve its aims; the calculated narratives that it has crafted to justify its interventions and attract greater support; and the very different ways in which it has approached the needs of different categories of displaced people.

"The compact forms of housing" is a term with which the Czech interior design yet do not often occur. This concept densely built low-rise residential files yet carries a strong potential not only in matters of mere living, but also offers one of the progressive alternative ways of living environment in general. Examined form of residential buildings is becoming increasingly important especially in specific situations where conventional housing is failing and instead generates other social problems. This thesis is primarily seeking the maximum extent available to document the issue of a compact housing, describe its basic form and point out the historical roots of this typology. The acquired knowledge was then subjected to an in-depth analysis, the output of which is to be the most comprehensive characterization researched the topic and its inclusion in the context of the standard forms of housing. The result is a set of research information, assumptions and typological bases that determine the primary urban, architectural, or social limits of the residential category.

It has been a century since the end of 19th century when the first, high-rise office building in western cities was born. The key design factors transformed from commercial profit into urban and human issues with the maturation of sustainable concern. Till now, the intelligent energy-saving facilities and computer environment simulation system allow the high-rise buildings to be more efficient, and the concept of sustainability to be more practically utilized. This study attempts to understand the design methods and sustainable strategies of contemporary skyscrapers by analyzing five of Norman Foster’s high-rise buildings (Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Headquarters, Century Tower, Commerzbank Headquarters, Swiss Re Headquarters, and Hearst Tower). This project examines three aspects: construction, inner condition, environment condition, and then generalizes the issues and design strategies regarding Foster’s concern. In these five cases, Foster made the office space open and flexible by well configuring the cores and addressing the structural system. In addition, atria can resolve the issues of site, office functions and sustainability. Beyond designing his projects with careful attention to urban context and brand-new technologies and materials, Norman Foster is deeply devoted to the human and environmental response. By bringing natural elements, such as gardens, into a standard office space, he creates a friendly work environment. In decreasing the depth of plan, he succeeds in bringing in natural light through the design of his atriums. Foster’s high-rise office towers allow the peaceful coexistence of human, architecture, and environment in order to achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable development.

Living in a high dense populated city, not only by human but also buildings make us need to reconsider many aspects of building strategies. Environmental damage has been occurred for decades, and getting worse until the present time, and estimated becoming worse in the future. The concept of vertical living and working has been recognized as a solution to facilitate fast growth and urbanization worldwide so that in this context tall buildings are becoming increasingly necessary as a result of the efficient use that they make of the limited land available. However, tall buildings can address a lot of environmental issues, changing in human behavior, and also interrupting economic infrastructure. The study of sustainable architecture is developing from time to time, and it is necessary for us as architects to understand the practical steps and guidelines so that our designs could sustain the environment, social living, and also economic infrastructure. This paper examines building strategies for office and residential buildings by literature reviews about high-rise architecture and sustainability in architecture. Case studies of residential and office high-rise sustainable architecture from time to time were chosen to explore and identify practical strategies used by well-known architects achieving sustainability. This paper also offers practical design strategies that can be used for practitioners, architectural education, and also research. At the end of this research, also given an example of sustainable design strategies implementation for high-rise building by participating international sustainable architecture design competition. It is sincerely hoped that this paper can be used either for practical use or research use in the future.

As we know the plan of high-rise office building can classify two parts which are service core and office space. However, decision of the plan is accorded with service core and office space , besides, it is more important that considering the context which is objective outside the building. At beginning of research , the subject is high-rise office building in Taipei city . The objective conditions from site context are 「area」, 「high」 and 「plan」. First, vertical analysis, explaining and interpreting the phenomenon that centers the factor from the service-core, finds the problems to modify another step-model and builds more relationship about service-core and objective conditions from the site than itself. Second, horizontal analysis, explaining and interpreting the phenomenon that centers the factor from the context, set up the plan of the building and conditions from the site. Third, cross analysis , explaining and interpreting the phenomenon that centers the factor from the service-core, builds more relationship about service-core and objective limits from the site than itself. To sum up , this study attempts to discovery the influential factors of objective conditions. These factors can be described and explained by the aspects of the building type. Through the application of the research results , we expect to contributing local research of high-rise office building.

In recent years, the high-rise buildings tend to get much higher, more underground and complex. However, in the planning and design processes, the high-rise buildings are often required to merely meet the basic provisions of the laws and regulations due to structural considerations. As for fire, heat and toxic smoke, the two-direction emergency escape is discussed. This paper mainly aims to enhance the design requirements of fire protection facilities for high-rise buildings so as to ensure the personal safety of people in high-rise buildings. The high-rise office building is placed with a number of materials and electric equipment spatially, such as documents, computers, etc. Therefore, the “fire”, “heat” and “toxic smoke” and other related factors shall be considered during the assessment, and partial designs may not meet the safety evaluation of fire protection and emergency escape. It is an important subject today to find the ways to promote the safety of high-rise buildings’ rooms and space as offices. This paper studies the high-rise buildings with more than 16 floors or office buildings with a height of more than 50m, and quantizes the assessment on rooms and space for office uses. Through summarizing the features of all rooms for office uses, the safety performance of fire protection and emergency escape are analyzed so as to find the reference point for fire protection and emergency escape. The conclusions are as follows: Based on the study and analysis about factors affecting fire protection and emergency escape, such as room area, exit width, fire resistance rating of interior decoration materials, average ceiling height, etc, all factors are assessed with 1m3 smoke volume as the datum so as to validate the emergency escape performance of the room. When the net area of rooms and space for office uses reaches more than 150m² (interior decoration materials are above the fire resistance rating II, the average ceiling height is 2.8m, the heat release is 560MJ/m highly², and the personnel density is 0.3 capita per m²), the second escape exit with a width of more than 90cm shall be set to meet the requirements for fire protection and emergency escape. In the planning process of offices of high-rise buildings, the research results obtained by the paper, to some degree, can facilitate the determination that whether more than two emergency escape directions shall be set along the path for emergency escape so as to meet the principle of safe emergency escape.

Full textAbstract:
The civil engineering and architectural communities are highly focused, these days, on designing buildings that maximize utilization of energy available from natural resources. This dissertation presents a quantitative study of the effect of high-rise office building morphology on energy and structural performances for the major climates. The parameters of the building morphologies are varied—the building footprint shape, the placement of the structural core/walls, and the building orientation. The energy analysis is performed using Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2011; while using SAP2000 for the structure analysis and design. The key observations are: (1) the building morphology has a significant effect on the annual energy consumption, (2) placement of the structural core/walls in the east and west sides significantly improve the energy performance, (3) the tradeoff in the cost of placing the structural core/walls to maximize operating energy efficiency is too great, (4) for built to code buildings the energy demand may be considered marginally sensitive to changes in aspect ratio, and (5) high quality thermal properties of code-built envelope systems offer more flexibility to designers with regard to the building site planning without creating negative impacts on total energy demand.

In behalf of the obvious volume and huge amount, office building emerges as one of the significant and representative elements to develop the urban space in the modern time. With the shifting of times, it brought a great change on the plan space of office buildings that possess practical and economical values, as well as the noticeable centered phenomenon that occurred in the process of the turning upward height. To discuss the reasons why the plan space of office buildings change has become a subject that is worth researching. Owing to the complete and coherent reservation of the high-rise office buildings in each historical period, researching the samples in New York and Chicago becomes meaningful. This thesis selects the samples of New York and Chicago cities in a hundred years from 1880 to 1999 as case study range, and adopts the methods of generalization, comparing, and analysis. Initially, it analyzes the relative subjects involves in the changing plan space and centered phenomenon of those bibliographies, and generalizes the main factors which influence the plan. Within the abstract thinking from the vertical and horizontal angles, the thesis sets up the plan type. Moreover, it theorizes about the samples in plan space and analyzes the centered phenomenon that was formed in the process of plan space developing. Then, it decentralizes the reasons why the plan space of office buildings was formed, compares and contracts the forming of plan space under the impact on different factors in these two cities. The thesis attempts to theorize the factors influence the forming of office building space and analyze the policies and ways be taken to against the same problem in these two cities as the basement for logical thinking toward the future development of office building plan Space researching.

The fire safety of the high-rise building has globally become one of the main topics of urban disaster prevention. Fixed-regulations have been unable to provide effective safety and appropriate economic, so performance-based codes have become the important one of the fire safety engineering designs. Evacuation safety design is an important factor of fire engineering design. In this study, based on control volume model and the calculating method of evacuation time in NFPA fire protection handbook, high-rise building evacuation process can be divided into the evacuation on floors and stairs. It is pioneering to use the concept of merge ratio to build an macroscopic evacuation model. The theory is applied to calculating the evacuation time of a high-rise office building, and the simulation result is compared with outcomes of NFPA calculation method and renowned evacuation simulation software-SIMULEX to demonstrate the feasibility of control volume model. Moreover, we create a specific fire scenario of high-rise office space with FDS and combine it with the numerical variations of the crowds around exits, so that the injury situations of every floor can be realized. From the results, we can draw up the optimal evacuation strategy and evacuation route by the research in the future, and the fire safety design can become more flexible.

Taiwan has been one of the developed countries. Because it’s difficult in obtaining large-scale commercial lands in urban areas, the trend in developing high-story buildings is inevitable. Besides, urban development plan is based on modern economic development and much more attention which government pays to residential safety. So, vetting process of construction and firefighting in accordance with laws and regulations has become increasingly complete and rigorous. As of the end of 2017, there are 54 high-story buildings with total height exceeding 150 meters in Taiwan, excluding buildings under construction. According to statistics from Ministry of the Interior, as of the end of 2017, there were 3,761 high-story buildings (above 16 floors or 50 meters), accounting for 1.64% in statistics. In the number of high-story buildings, there are 925 more buildings during 2013-2017 than before. In summary, the number of high-story buildings is increasing. When facing fire hazards of high-story building construction, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive prevention and emergency response mechanism in Taiwan. This study assumes that when a high-story office building in Kaohsiung City encounters a major accident, we’d like to know how to response and proceed according to evacuation strategy. On the basis of the actual residence number of building in this essay and take reference to some fire management practice and overall evacuation examination in official documents, we use software, PATHFINDER, to simulate in comparison with relevant data of evacuation exercises and system verifications of the buildings in last three years. The study found that in a three-stage evacuation plan of different conditions among evacuation floor, upper and lower floors (three scenarios such as “upper two and lower one floors”, “upper two floors”, and “upper one floor”), the results show few difference. In addition, on the floors below 5th floor, it is better to adopt a three-stage evacuation strategy than two-stage one. On the floors above the 20th floor, it is better to adopt the two-stage strategy than three-stage one. It suggests that the building management unit can adopt appropriate evacuation strategies based on different height to effectively shorten evacuation time of the entire building. Suggestions provided in the essay can be applied in similar office buildings for emergency plan.

Since the first plans for the Xinyi Planning District were created in 1980, the urban area has gradually taken shape under the influence of Taipei City planning. During the planning process, there were two specific important plans commissioned by the government: the first overall review of urban planning addressed to solve the problems of slow in the land-development process, and the second, the need for changes in planning objectives. After the second review, the government decided to initiate a new incentive plan, not only to attract more participation from private developers but also to encourage designers to create open spaces. This study explores the Xinyi Planning Area development by focusing on four high-rise office buildings. They are classified into two categories: corporate headquarters, the Chinatrust Group Tower and the Chinese Petroleum Building; and commercial office buildings, Taipei 101 and the President Enterprise Corporation Tower. The background behind the Xinyi incentive plan is discussed; namely, how it encouraged greater use of open space, and interpretations of these purposes of providing public spaces, especially with regard to these cases how to face the reciprocation plan and the performance of public spaces. Further, the paper analyses the incentive plan as a part of the Urban Design Review System and examines issues affecting the development process and implementation of changes at this stage. The research reveals that corporate headquarters didn’t follow the guidelines through provision of open space, and commercial office buildings followed the incentive plan and received more rewards for their public space but the results had little improvement in the quality and function of the new public space. From the viewpoint of social justice, there is a problem of fairness in offering additional incentives to the developer for the inclusion of public space during the development phase. Therefore, it is recommended that future programs by the city will address how to resolve issues of fairness and enforcement when providing urban design reviews that include added incentives.

This study monitor four office room on high-rise buildings(A、B、C、D). And have three-stage : before decoration、after decoration and finish decoration then officer stationed . According the result, to compare the similar rooms with those four office rooms which may have air pollution, that can understand the pollution source and problem. The concentration of particle have high on three-stages, the background measurement is influence by weather and flow, stacked the building materials and the dust has not been cleared after decoration. Because the working and cleaning was untrue during the later decoration period. Compare the decorated after and improvement by natural ventilation, that found the particles that from structure of fireproof. The emitted of TVOCs are very seriously on indoor air during the late stages of decoration, and compared with the measure result of similar space after improvement, it was found the pollution of indoor air quality be lower which use of green building materials and factory-made building materials. The concentration of TVOCs increased sharply on decoration site、the average of each measurement area up to the standard value of approximately 17 folds、the lowest was also about 2 folds and the concentration peak had more than 40 folds. The CO2 concentration is too high on B area; it means the fresh air of air-conditioning that is insufficient to meet the strength generated by human activities. The load rate of Section A is 1.15, section D is 0.99, the detection value is all in standard values, but the TVOCs emission is over standard values in section C(0.92) and section B(2.00). The conclusion of this research: section B and C utilization rate of green building materials are higher than section A, but there is not up to standard. The result shows section B and C that the concentration of TVOCs were high which use general materials, section B can reduction the concentration of TVOCs by increase using factory-made building materials.
