Abstract:

Combining with the differences of traditional houses between northern and southern parts of China, this paper argues that different choices of low-carbon housing design should be chosen to adjust to different climate conditions, in which geographic characteristics and economic status should be considered. Such designs can not only reflect geographical characteristics, but also reduce the construction costs of low-carbon housing effectively, and they are also in line with local economic development. And the paper also explores viable design strategies which can adjust themselves to low-carbon housing design in Nanjing.

Abstract:

The public in China have a vague notion of architecture energy conservation, additionally the various and complex geographical position and climate, so the problem of architectural energy dissipation has deteriorated. In terms of architectural energy conservation, this design wholly considered energy conservation and emission reduction in the whole life cycle. The theory of “nonexistence-existence-nonexistence” should be carried out practically and low-carbon, ecological kindergarten will be founded in Huainan by studying and taking advantage all kinds of reasonable energy conservation technology. We should exert a subtle influence on cultivating children’s sense of energy conservation and emission reduction in order to make it be popular in the society which treats children as center.

Abstract:

With China's rapid economic development, the construction industry plays an important role in promoting both economic development and urban construction. However, due to the characteristics of construction industry itself, it is seen the most important industry as a move towards a low-carbon economy. So we should bring in the concept of low-carbon and establish low-carbon awareness. Meanwhile, in recent years, for the science and technology are making rapid development around the world, new technology and materials are emerging, along with the architectural design constantly changing people's thinking patterns. The process of scientific influencing architecture is gradually accelerating and it is necessary for researches to have a greater emphasis on concepts and methods of science than aesthetics and awareness.

Abstract:

In the past decades, environmental problems are widely concerned and solved. However, as most solutions, they are methods of “end-of-pipe” treatment which are inefficient and of high cost. Low-carbon design (LCD) is a novel way to solve the problem of pollution emissions at source. Injection molding machine (IMM) as important manufacturing equipment has been widely used in many industries. In the pursuit of high-quality plastic products, the environmental qualities of IMM are often neglected. To achieve low carbon of IMM at source, a LCD method is proposed combining the structure design and injection process design for IMM. At first, LCD decision variables are determined based on interval number theory. Subsequently, the IMM structural carbon emissions and injection molding process carbon emissions are calculated, respectively. Based on this architecture, the carbon emission mathematical model is constructed. To solve the multiobjective optimization problem, the improved strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm based on epsilon dominance (E-SPEA-II) is used, and the design result schemes are sorted using the multiattribute decision-making method for intervals. Finally, the validity of this method is demonstrated by an IMM injection component-integrated low carbon design (ILCD) example.

Abstract:

Energy consumption and emissions are the two main sustainability issues of German companies. The main reasons for efficiency increase and emission reduction are not, as often proclaimed, energy costs, but the demands of customers and legislators for low carbon emissions. Particularly at machine level and process chain level various methods for analysis and improvement of the energy efficiency already exist. At factory level there is no systematic approach. The method Factory Carbon Footprint Design is an appropriate tool for that issue. The method is derived from the activity-based costing method and has two main parts: The Activity-based Carbon Footprint Accounting and the Target Carbon Footprint Design. Using the Activity-based Carbon Footprint Accounting, the carbon footprint of all energy consumers can be allocated to the goods produced in the factory. This contains not only the carbon footprint of the manufacturing machines, but also the periphal equipment and the administration and other indirect parts of the factory. The Target Carbon Footprint Design is a systematic approach to reduce the overall carbon footprint of a factory.

Abstract:

To accelerate the development of low-carbon industry in Zhaoqing City, transform the mode of economic growth, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading, the SWOT analysis method was applied. From the four aspects of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, the feasibility of developing a low-carbon economy in Zhaoqing was systematically analyzed. From the adjustment of industrial structure, the optimization of energy structure, the promotion of low-carbon tourism, the development of circular economy, and the enhancement of carbon sink capacity, the development path of low-carbon economy was explored. Based on the above analysis, a low carbon development plan was prepared. From the implementation of low-carbon development strategy, the choice of low-carbon economy pilot, and the low-carbon economic security system, the implementation steps of Zhaoqing's low-carbon economy were discussed in detail. The results showed that the low-carbon economy concept provided some ideas for Zhaoqing's economic development. Therefore, Zhaoqing is still in its infancy. The city's transportation system is not perfect. To develop a low-carbon economy, governments, enterprises, and individuals need to participate actively.

Abstract:

According to statistics, the annual increased floor area in China reaches about 2 billion, almost surpasses the sum of that in all developed countries, while the energy consumption per unit floor area is 2 to 3 times more than that of developed countries. The building energy consumption has accounted for more than 35 percent in China's total energy consumption. China is facing a serious crisis of energy and resources, so it is significant to realize energy conservation in building and low carbon. The building designs based on the concept of low carbon should embody a design principle including low-carbon, social demands, adaptation to local conditions, and sustainable development. Research and application of the technology of natural ventilation, solar applications, ground source heat pump, and green energy-saving materials are effective to achieve the low carbon building design. We also get some inspirations from domestic and international typical case.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the risks of building defects associated with rapid advancement of “green” construction technologies. It identifies the methods adopted by the sector for the determination of pre-construction defects that are framed within the context of, traditional; scientific; and professional design approaches. These are critically evaluated and utilised in attempts to mitigate defects arising from diffusing low carbon construction innovations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of an evaluative literature review. Polemic in orientation, the paper critically compares two periods of time associated with rapid advancement of innovation. The first, the post-Second World War housing boom is synonymous with a legacy of substandard buildings that in many cases rapidly deteriorated, requiring refurbishment or demolition shortly after construction. The second, is today’s “green” technology “shift” with its inherent uncertainty and increased risk of latent building defects and potential failure to deliver meaningful long-term performance. Central to this is an exploration of the drivers for innovation, and subsequent response, precautionary measures initiated, and the limitations of institutionalised systems to identify and mitigate defects. Similarities and differences between these historical periods frame a discussion around the theoretical approaches to defects and how these may be limited in contemporary low carbon construction. A conceptual framework is presented with the aim of enhancing the understanding for obviation of defects. Findings – Sufficient commonality exists between the periods to initiate a heightened vigilance in the identification, evaluation and ideally the obviation of defects. Design evaluation is not expressly or sufficiently defect focused. It appears that limited real change in the ability to identify defects has occurred since the post-war period and the ability to predict the performance of innovative systems and materials is therefore questionable. Attempts to appraise defects are still embedded in the three principle approaches: traditional; scientific; and professional design. Each of these systems have positive characteristics and address defect mitigation within constrains imposed by their very nature. However, they all fail to address the full spectrum of conditions and design and constructional complexities that lead to defects. The positive characteristics of each system need to be recognised and brought together in an holistic system that offers tangible advantages. Additionally, independent design professionals insufficiently emphasise the importance of defect identification and holistic evaluation of problems in design failure are influenced by their professional training and education. A silo-based mentality with fragmentation of professional responsibility debases the efficacy of defect identification, and failure to work in a meaningful, collaborative cross professional manner hinders the defect eradication process. Research limitations/implications – Whilst forming a meaningful contribution to stimulate debate, further investigation is required to tangibly establish integrated approaches to identify and obviate defects. Practical implications – The structured discussion and conclusions highlight areas of concern for industry practitioners, policy makers, regulators, industry researchers and academic researchers alike in addressing and realising a low carbon construction future. The lessons learned are not limited to a UK context and they have relevance internationally, particularly where rapid and significant growth is coupled with a need for carbon reduction and sustainable development such as the emerging economies in China, Brazil and India. Social implications – The carbon cost associated with addressing the consequences of emerging defects over time significantly jeopardises attempts to meet legally binding sustainability targets. This is a relatively new dimension and compounds the traditional economic and societal impacts of building failure. Clearly, blindly accepting this as “the cost of innovation without development” cannot be countenanced. Originality/value – Much research has been undertaken to evaluate post-construction defects. The protocols and inherent complexities associated with the determination of pre-construction defects have to date been largely neglected. This work attempts to rectify this situation.

<p>Low-carbon is not only a slogan, but also a global action to protect the environment. In the clothing industry, low-carbon clothing design has drawn public focus and it also conveyed the notion that we should respect for nature and advocate the concept of conservation. Through the analysis and study of low-carbon clothing design, it comes to two conclusions: On the subjective aspect, low-carbon design consciousness of designers which humanization of costume design, design clothing beyond beauty, thinking and caring about people; on the objective aspects, low-carbon clothing design is analyzed in three main aspects: fabric, color and styling. It is necessary to put low-carbon concept into people’s behavior consciousness and let the slow fashion environmental concept return back to people’s fashion lifestyle, so that consumers can look for their self-positioning and rational thinking. Therefore, the design of low-carbon clothing should be raised to the design of humanistic care to ensure that low-carbon concept is a global need and responsibility.</p>

Abstract:

Many super tall buildings are built up in China in recent years. The concept of low carbon based design has aroused much focus nowadays. There are few researches that combine structural design of super tall buildings with life cycle based low carbon design. Due to its huge quantity material and energy assumption, the super tall buildings exert great impact on the environment. In this study, an innovative new life cycle model is proposed for assess and optimize the life cycle environmental cost of super tall buildings, in which the space distribution of the building materials is considered besides the time dimension. A benchmark super tall building is established in this study to illustrate the application of the proposed new life cycle model. According to the case study results, a conclusion is drawn that a remarkable difference would be made in carbon emissions if low carbon based structural design method could be applied.
