Full textAbstract:
This thesis project is a developing office building, designed for a start-up company. One character of the company is that its main projects serve China, but there are also few local projects. The main goal of this architecture is to provide a convenient and changeable place for this start-up company.
There are a few disciplines during design process:
1. The building has a round shape and blocks add on when it grows.
2. In the middle of the building, it is a fixed courtyard which covered by skylight.
3. The blocks are in modules and the rooms function can be changed as needed.
4. The roof at the early stage of this architecture can be used as floors in the future.
The site is located in the suburban area of Washington DC, which next to the Rock Creek Park.
Surrounding buildings mostly are traditional residential architectures,with sloping roof and brick walls.This site is only 3 blocks away from the main street. Therefore, the site can provide an urban context which means clients and employees can easily get into. But people do not need to afford too high price for the land. What's more, people can enjoy a pretty view while working.
The building has the steel frame as the primary structure and concrete covering for the floor slab. For the elevation, the adjustable wood panel and curtain walls are used to balance with local sun orientation.<br>Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the energy conservation potential of selected retrofitting interventions on an office building were investigated, on the basis of which some rational
strategies for the improvement of building envelopes in terms of energy, environment and comfort design were proposed. Examined were various measures on envelope constructions that can be retrofitted to existing buildings. By using
simulation techniques, the effectiveness of such measures in reducing energy consumption and environmental threat were also assessed. Effects of glazing types, effect of insulation and thermal mass were analyzed as energy efficient retrofit measures to the Engineering Building (MM building) situated on Middle East Technical University Campus, Ankara. The Energy-10 computer program was used for the modeling and simulation of the energy flows through the envelope to examine measures for reducing thermal load. Within this framework, the energy conservation potential of single and combined retrofitting actions was investigated. Based on results from the evaluation model, it was found that a saving of 161.20 MWh in the annual heating load could result,
depending on the glazing type. The evaluation showed that thermal insulation is the most effective factor in thermal performance when placed as an exterior layer on walls. The study showed thermal mass has significant impact on increasing the duration, where highest temperatures were achieved, under passive mode. The study also revealed that applying a combination of retrofitting measures which responded to the challenges and opportunities presented by different faç<br>ade orientations, a saving of 52.41% can be achieved in annual heating energy use in case study building.

The goal of the project was to design a two story general office building on a five acre parcel in Oro Valley, Arizona. As per the request of the client, the office building was to have an effective floor area of 30,000 square feet and a 900 square foot atrium. A preliminary geotechnical investigation of the site was conducted to determine soil properties of the location and decide which areas of the parcel would be adequate to support the support the weight of the building. Oro Valley zoning code was then used to determine allowable height clearances for the building and suggested parking lot arrangements. A hydrologic analysis was performed on the site to ensure that major flooding would not impact the productivity of the building when completed. Traffic analysis was conducted on the intersection of Linda Vista Boulevard and Oracle Road to estimate the impact of additional traffic at the intersection. The complete steel frame structure of the building was also designed and foundations were designed based off of the projected column loads. All structural and geotechnical design work was done using an adequate factor of safety. Finally, environmental and sustainability considerations were looked into and a LEED score was given to our project.

Rogers, Jane Brenda. "Performance benefits of atrium office building occupancy." Thesis, Ulster University, 2016. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.714497.
Full textAbstract:
The rationale of this study is to investigate the relationship between the design characteristics of atrium office buildings and the performance of the occupants leading to organisation effectiveness. A central theme is to understand the spatial configuration of the accommodation within and surrounding the atrium space and how this affects office worker behaviour. The background to this study was established through a comprehensive literature review that considered what is known about knowledge worker performance and workplace productivity and how these are measured from a behavioural perspective. The literature review established that there was a need to better understand the behaviour of office workers within the entire office building setting and presented the hypothesis of whether the particular design qualities of an atrium office design could enhance worker performance and organisational effectiveness by facilitating co-worker connectivity, a sense of community and employee well-being. Five office building and their occupants were studied during the research period using a mixed methods case study methodology which employed questionnaires, interviews, drawings, surveys and observations. Two of the office buildings were occupied by the same organisation and formed the foundation study. Crucially one of the office buildings had an atrium and the other did not. The comparative analysis resulted in several emerging themes that influenced the behaviour of the office workers within the atrium office building. These themes were then further tested in three subsequent case studies performed in owner occupied atrium office buildings of a similar size but with contrasting atrium designs and with occupants involved in different work purposes. These studies resulted in the derivation of several key design characteristics and spatial relationships that appeared to impact on worker performance and organisational effectiveness and which can be employed by designers and investors of office buildings towards the development of facilitating work environments.

Full textAbstract:
As a consequence of the increasing energy demand, the European Commission is making stricter regulations concerning energy use. In Sweden, a third of the energy is used by buildings and 60 % of that is used for heating, meaning that there is potential for saving energy in buildings by using it more efficiently. In this report, insulated window shutters are examined in order to see if they have any positive effect on the energy performance in a Swedish office building. The shutters are compared to a baseline scenario and a scenario where low-energy windows are used. Simulations of the different scenarios are carried out in IDA Indoor Climate and Energy where space heating, space cooling and electricity are studied. The simulations serve as a basis for an economic and environmental comparison.The results show the largest reduction in energy use and CO2 emissions by using insulated window shutters in the building, however, they are also the most expensive solution due to investment, installation and maintenance costs. The baseline scenario has the highest energy use but it is also the cheapest one. The shutters are the most cost effective solution to lower the energy use and the CO2 emissions compared to the levels in the baseline scenario.A recommendation for future work is to investigate how to manufacture, operate and implement the shutters in order to make a commercially available product, which includes experiments and case studies.<br>På grund av det ökande energibehovet har den Europeiska kommissionen gjort striktare regleringar angående energianvändning. I Sverige går en tredjedel av energianvändningen till byggnader, varav 60 % går till uppvärmning. Detta gör att det finns potential för energibesparingar i byggnader genom att öka energieffektiviteten.I denna rapport undersöks isolerade fönsterluckor för att se om de kan öka energiprestandan på ett svenskt kontorshus. Luckorna jämförs med ett referensscenario och ett scenario där lågenergifönster används. Simuleringar utförs i programmet IDA Indoor Climate and Energy där värme, kyla och fastighetsel studeras. Dessa simuleringar utgör även en grund för en ekonomi- och miljöanalys.Resultatet visar att den största minskningen i energianvändning och koldioxidutsläpp fås av scenariot med isolerade fönsterluckor men det är också den dyraste lösningen på grund av investerings, drift och underhållskostnader. Referensscenariot har störst energianvändning men är också det billigaste. För att minska energianvändningen och koldioxidutsläppen från nivåerna i referensscenariot är fönsterluckorna det mest kostnadseffektiva alternativet.För framtida arbete rekommenderas att undersöka hur man ska tillverka, driva och implementera luckorna för att kunna göra en tillgänglig kommersiell produkt vilket inkluderar experiment och fältstudier.

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 43-44).<br>Using timber as a structural material for commercial projects will certainly gain importance and popularity in the coming decades as more focus is placed on reducing environmental effects created by a dependence on steel and concrete in the construction industry. Timber is a clean alternative that despite its historical use is too often overlooked by designers when they are choosing materials for ordinary commercial projects like office buildings. This thesis presents a case for using timber as the primary structural material in a medium-rise office building (up to ten stories), where currently only concrete and steel are normally used. The study accomplishes this using a custom structural design for a typical office building and exploring the structural issues that presumably prohibit timber from being used more commonly. Such issues are strength capacity, stiffness, material reliability, natural defects, area of required material, fire protection, and constructability. Addressing these issues in terms of building codes and in general comparison to steel and concrete makes up the bulk of the feasibility study. Future work essential to completing the structural case for timber is also identified, and the study concludes that timber is indeed a viable alternative material in typical office building design. The motivation behind the thesis is one based on obtaining and sharing an introduction to a material that finds little application in traditional engineering education yet will grow to play a large role in the field of structural engineering in the coming age of sustainability-minded design.<br>by Mohsen Nasr.<br>M.Eng.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to develop retrofitted natural ventilation options and control strategies for existing office buildings to improve thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy consumption. For this purpose, a typical office building was selected in order to identify opportunities and constraints when implementing such strategies. Actual performance of the case study building was evaluated by conducting quantitative and qualitative field measurements including physical measurements and questionnaire surveys. Based on the actual building performance, a combination of Dynamic Thermal Simulation (using IES) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (using PHOENICS) models were built to develop appropriate natural ventilation options and control strategies to find a balance between energy consumption, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort. Several retrofitted options and control strategies were proposed and the best retrofitted natural ventilation options and control strategies were installed in the case study building. Post occupancy evaluation of the case study building after the interventions was also carried out by conducting physical measurements and questionnaire surveys. Post refurbishment measurements revealed that energy consumption and risk of overheating in the refurbished building were reduced by 9% and 80% respectively. The risk of unacceptable indoor air quality was also reduced by 60% in densely occupied zones of the building. The results of questionnaire surveys also revealed that the percentage of dissatisfied occupants reduced by 80% after intervention. Two new products including a Motorized ceiling tile and NVlogIQ , a natural ventilation wall controller, were also developed based on the results of this study.

Project process\' hindrances over office architectural design production are common at civil construction sector, implying on schedule loss, reworks and higher costs. Many academic literature approaches to that hindrance resulted from failure in project process. Predominantly failures concern translating customer needs and expectations into design conditions. This research objectives to propose scope of work guidelines, securing customer satisfaction and avoiding unforeseen additional costs, reworks, schedule and project benefit loss. Additionally, for each guideline proposed, it is suggested an accountable for it (project manager, architect or client). The adopted methodology was the research and analysis of project methodologies from academic literatures, contenting responsibilities definitions and design criteria that should be considered on the approved scope of work. Furthermore, the creation and implementation of an interview plan with one Brazilian high concept corporative architecture firm and its three clients, in a way that it is possible to measure client\'s point of view over contracted project process. Results from the interviews identified scope definition and project process planning hindrances. Then, in comparison with academic literatures, main project and scope of work issues were identified and used as base to the scope of work development guidelines.<br>A produção de projetos de arquitetura e engenharia no setor de construção civil apresenta entraves em seus processos de projeto, que implicam em perda de prazo, aumento de custos de projeto e retrabalhos. Diversos autores abordam falhas na gestão do processo de projeto, principalmente na interpretação das necessidades dos clientes e na definição dos critérios que o projeto deve seguir, alguns não previstos no escopo de contratação entre a empresa de arquitetura e o cliente. Esta pesquisa propõe diretrizes para que as empresas de arquitetura possam, junto ao gerente de projetos dos clientes, definir um escopo de serviços em que retrabalho, custos adicionais, atrasos e a insatisfação do cliente com o processo sejam reduzidos ou evitados. Para cada diretriz, há também a definição de quem é o responsável por executá-la (se o arquiteto ou o cliente). A metodologia utilizada para obtenção desse objetivo foi o levantamento e revisão de bibliografia sobre metodologias de projeto e de contratos de projetos, que auxiliem na definição de responsabilidades, atividades e critérios de projeto. Em acréscimo, foi formulado um roteiro de entrevista e eleita uma empresa de arquitetura corporativa com experiência de mercado no Brasil, assim como três clientes da mesma, de forma a mapear o ponto de vista do cliente sobre o processo empregado pela contratada. Com os resultados das entrevistas, fez-se uma análise comparativa entre os métodos de projeto empregados pela empresa de arquitetura e o encontrado em bibliografia, identificando os principais entraves no desenvolvimento e definição do escopo de serviços. Por fim, tais resultados foram utilizados como base para propor diretrizes para que o escopo de serviços entre arquitetos e clientes prevejam revisões de projeto, traduzam efetivamente as necessidades do cliente e atendam prazos e custos esperados.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system was identified as the major energy consumer in both office building and manufacturing building. The step response model of the office indoor temperature to the operating states of the Air Handling Unit (AHU) was developed. Combined with the working schedule of employees, the AHU operation schedule in the office building was modified to accommodate the working schedule of employees while reducing waste. Motion detection lighting control was implemented in the office area to reduce waste by turning off unnecessary lighting automatically. As a result of new AHU operation schedule, AHU motor electricity usage can be reduced by 10,868 kWh/year and chilled water consumption can be reduced by 79,403 kWh/year. Motion detection lighting control could also result in estimated savings of 54,082 kWh/year.<br>by Wu Li.<br>M.Eng.

The purpose of this thesis was to create a structure that is a result of a hyperbolic paraboloid shell (hypar). As a result of this, a certain order evolved which dictated the form, the structure, and the environmental aspects of the two buildings designed. Through the design of the hypar walls, came the opportunity and/or need for daylighting. This is the conscious design of a building form to use direct sunlight for illumination and thermal benefit. Buildings so designed respond both to direct sunlight and to sunlight modified through diffusion or reflection by the sky vault, clouds, natural or man—made elements of the landscape, and the buildings, themselves. The workers occupying these buildings spend a major portion of their day in a place that could have psychological and physiological effects. Sunlight gives reassuring orientation to time, a place, and weather, as well as producing interior environments that are comfortable, delightful, and productive.<br>Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The challenges of a `greener' future are now a responsibility for everyone and particularly for the built environment, where sustainable building design is no longer an innovative option but more of a legislative must. Unfortunately significant differences are often found between the design and measured performance of buildings, with many factors contributing towards these discrepancies. This thesis investigates, using Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) techniques, the credibility gap between design and measured performance of a partially occupied `green' office building selected as the case study. The results found that the measured energy consumption was over three times the design estimates, and the performance compared poorly against good practice benchmarks for similar buildings. The study's POE also revealed inefficient control settings, high out-of-hours energy consumption and ineffective building management. This study goes beyond a typical POE as it also includes investigations into how the occupancy variations, and the management strategies applied under these conditions, can impact on building energy performance through the use of simulation modelling techniques. This is an area where very little research has previously been carried out. At the current 50% occupancy levels, potential annual savings of over £30,000 in utility bills and 60% in energy consumption were estimated if more effective management and control was implemented. Social-related aspects of building performance are also investigated. Occupant surveys were conducted and the results were compared to previous findings. The perceived comfort and satisfaction with temperature was the most disappointing finding from the survey, however overall the building was comparable to the average benchmarks, but did not perform well when compared to other `green' office buildings. The study revealed that there is potential for the building to be fine-tuned to perform more efficiently than it currently is, however there must be suitably skilled Facility Management to ensure this is delivered.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change will affect many human activities and sectors. Among those, the built environment will face several challenges with respect to the varying climate conditions. The present study investigated the global warming impacts on energy demand and indoor climate comfort for an office building in Stockholm. Considering a service life of 50 years, the future climate conditions were investigated for the only air temperature increase in 2070, in accordance with the medium forecasted greenhouse gas emissions scenario provided by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Another climate morphing approach was adopted to develop the climate file for the year 2080 considering the variation of all the weather parameters. Three different passive cooling solutions, such as external roller shade, electrochromic glazing, and internally ventilated shading, have been implemented in the case study building to decrease the cooling demand. The characteristics of the strategies were preliminarily assessed and then implemented into the building energy simulation software IDA-ICE to evaluate the energy performances with respect to the different climates. The results indicated that an increment of the cooling demand and a reduction of the heating usage will be experienced in the future. The different morphing approaches displayed the inherent uncertainties when future evaluations are performed, although similar weather patterns were found. The improvement of the solar and optical properties, such as the introduction of the exhaust air extraction and the electrochromic technology, implied a lower cooling and ventilation usage. The EC technology reported the lowest cooling demand, while the internally ventilated shading option outperformed the others in terms of annual energy consumption.<br>Klimatförändringar kommer att påverka många mänskliga aktiviteter och sektorer. Bland dem kommer den byggda miljön att möta flera utmaningar med avseende på de olika klimatförhållandena. Denna studie undersökte effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen på energibehovet och inomhusklimatkomforten för en kontorsbyggnad i Stockholm. Med hänsyn till en livslängd på 50 år undersöktes de framtida klimatförhållandena för ökningen av lufttemperaturen utomhus till 2070, i enlighet med det medelprognoserade växthusgasutsläppsscenariot som tillhandahålls av International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). En annan klimatförändringsmetod antogs för att utveckla klimatfilen för år 2080 med tanke på variationen i alla väderparametrar. Tre olika passiva kyllösningar, såsom utvändigt solskydd (vertikalmarkis med screenväv), elektrokromt glas och invändigt ventilerat solskydd, har implementerats i fallstudiebyggnaden för att minska kylbehovet. Karaktären av strategierna utvärderades preliminärt och implementerades sedan i programvaran för byggenergisimulering IDA-ICE för att utvärdera energiprestanda med avseende på de olika klimaten. Resultaten indikerade att en ökning av kylbehovet och en minskning av värmeanvändningen kommer att ske i framtiden. De olika klimatförändringsmetoderna visade de inneboende/medföljande osäkerheterna när framtida utvärderingar utförs, även om liknande vädermönster hittades. De passiva kyllösningarnas reducering av total solenergitransmission, såsom införandet av frånluftsutsug och den elektrokroma tekniken, innebar en lägre kyl- och ventilationsanvändning. EC-tekniken rapporterade det lägsta kylbehovet, medan det invändiga ventilerade solskyddet överträffade de andra när det gäller årlig energiförbrukning.

Since the CO 2-emissions and electricity prices are ever increasing many companies have tried to reduce their energy consumption in order to reduce both CO2-emissions and the cost of using energy. Therefore, in this article an office building situated in Sweden have been investigated with its current ventilation flow and what saving poten-tials can be made from heat recovery and a different ventilation flow in regards to health, energy and cost. Empirical data have been collected to be able to calculate ener-gy savings made by heat recovery and new ventilation flow. A ventilation flow of 25 l/s per office were chosen and that the conference room should have at least 3 l/s per m² the dining room and locker was not investigated thoroughly and therefore a ventilation flow from the recommendations of Sweden was followed. The total flows became, 530 l/s respectively 630 l/s for the top and bottom floor. A rotating heat exchanger with an es-timated efficiency of 80% was used for heat recovery and through the two methods combined an energy reduction up to 96,4 % for heating and 83,4 % from the electricity could be reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout our lives, we spend approximately 80–90% of our time indoors, and the environment which wereside in is a key factor determining our comfort and well-being. A favorable indoor environment can enhance our quality of life whereas a less than favorable environment may have the opposite effect. A key ambition of several Green Building Certifications is the desire to reduce a building’s environmental impact and energy consumption, and, in addition, the ambition to provide a satisfying indoor environment.The WELL Building Standard (WELL) is an up and coming green building certification explicitly embracing comfort, health and well-being in the built environment. The standard covers seven over-arching topics forwhich the indoor environment is evaluated by; Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Fitness, Comfort, andMind. Compared to well-established Green Building Certifications like LEED, BREEAM and Miljöbyggnad, the WELL standard is newly introduced on the Swedish market with few current applications. The purpose of this report is to apply WELL for Bengt Dahlgren’s office in Stockholm and provide resultsdemonstrating to what extent the office satisfies the certification. The report will also provide recommendedmeasures so as to reach a desired WELL certification grade. Furthermore, the compliance between WELL and the Swedish Green Building Certification Miljöbyggnad will be studied. The study has been carried out byreviewing the relevant policy, property and equipment documents; conducting technical measurements; andinspecting the conditions of the office area and its surroundings. Correspondence with stakeholders and actorsknowledgeable of the current state of the office have been a constant element throughout the project. The results show that Bengt Dahlgren’s office currently do not fulfill the required preconditions to be eligiblefor a WELL certification. However, if those preconditions were to be addressed, a completed certificationwould result in a grade corresponding to Silver. By implementing the recommendations provided by the authorit should also be possible to reach the higher certification grade Gold. The study furthermore concludes that WELL and Miljöbyggnad only demonstrate limited overlap. By evaluating Bengt Dahlgren’s office in Stockholm, this report strives to give insight for how a Swedish office facility comply with the WELL certification. The work should also give light to new perspectives and applications regarding health, comfortand well-being which may not be included in traditional Green Building Certifications. The compliance for WELL with Swedish regulations, standards and norms have been treated in this report, however, the topic can be suggested as an area for future work, as there is room for an explicit study concerning this.<br>Vi spenderar uppskattningsvis 80–90% av våra liv inomhus och miljön vi vistas i är en avgörande faktor för vårhälsa och välmående. En gynnsam inomhusmiljö kan förhöja vår livskvalité medan en ogynnsam miljö kan haden motsatta effekten. En väsentlig ambition för flera miljöcertifieringar är önskan att reducera byggnaders miljöpåverkan och energikonsumtion, samt, därutöver, strävan efter att förse en behaglig inomhusmiljö.WELL Building Standard (WELL) är en miljöcertifiering som uteslutande behandlar komfort, hälsa och välmående i inomhusmiljön. Certifieringen täcker sju övergripande koncept som inomhusmiljön utvärderasefter; Luft, Vatten, Kost, Ljus, Motion, Komfort och Sinnesupplevelse. Jämfört med konventionellamiljöcertifieringar som LEED, BREEAM och Miljöbyggnad så är WELL nyintroducerad på den svenskamarknaden med få tillämpningar i dagsläget. Syftet med det här arbetet är att applicera WELL för Bengt Dahlgrens kontor i Stockholm och frambringa resultatet som visar på hur väl kontoret uppfyller certifieringen. Arbetet kommer även tillhandahållare kommenderade åtgärder för hur en önskad certifieringsnivå kan nås. Därutöver kommer överenstämmelsen mellan WELL och den svenska miljöcertifieringen Miljöbyggnad studeras. Arbetat har utförts genomgranskning av relevanta policy-, fastighets- och utrustningsdokument; utförande av tekniska mätningar; och inspektioner av förhållanden vid kontoret och dess omgivning. Korrespondens med aktörer närvarande vid byggnadens uppförande samt aktörer insatta i byggnadens nuvarande förhållanden har hållits genomgående under projektets gång. De framtagna resultaten visar på att Bengt Dahlgrens kontor i nuläget inte uppfyller de nödvändiga skallkrav för att vara berättigad en certifiering. Ifall dessa skallkrav vore åtgärdade skulle en certifiering generera ett betygmotsvarande Silver. Genom att implementera de åtgärder som rekommenderas av författaren kan kontoret även nå det högre betyget Guld. Arbetet visar dessutom på att WELL och Miljöbyggnad endast erhåller en begränsad överensstämmelse. Genom att utvärdera Bengt Dahlgrens kontor i Stockholm ämnar det här arbetetge en insikt i hur en svensk fastighet står sig gentemot WELL. Arbetet hoppas också ge utrymme åt nya perspektiv och tillämpningar av hälsa, komfort och välmående i byggnader, som kanske inte är inkluderade i traditionella miljöcertifieringar. Överensstämmelsen för WELL med svenska regler, standarder och normer kan föreslås som ett område lämpligt för framtida studier. Även om detta ämne har studerats i denna rapport så finns det utrymme för att genomföra en djupare studie som behandlar detta.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The built environment is responsible for 40% of the global energy demand (1). To reduce building energy consumption, regulations are enhancing the appeal of sustainable constructions. Nevertheless, the rate of construction is low in most of developed countries. Efforts are to be made in existing buildings, namely in office buildings, which are statistically more energy-consuming than residential buildings (3). To conduct an adapted energy retrofitting, an energy audit can be realized as a pre-study. The first step is to realize an inventory of fixture of the building equipment. From that analysis, the building behavior and consumption are modeled with the help of dynamic simulation software. A comparison with the real life energy consumption guides the study to obtain a model close to reality. Energy retrofitting plans can then be created, based on this model and on the inventory of fixture phase. If technically adapted, each retrofitting solution is evaluated in terms of investment cost and energy savings. Building energy audits and recommendation phases are not unique and normalized procedures. More advanced and complex calculations and measurements can improve the result accuracy. Nevertheless, the introduced approach gives a first understanding of a building, by analyzing its strengths and its weaknesses. As a result, the proposed retrofitting solutions are suited to each specific building. This renovation plan can then be used as a first-decision making tool for the various stakeholders included in the retrofitting project.

Full textAbstract:
The energy retrofit of existing buildings has always been a challenging task to accomplish. The example of the Swecohuset building, proves how an integrated approach design between architectural and energetic aspects as well as the use of well-known and efficient technologies are key aspects to achieve the energy-saving goal. This work, in the first part describes the Swecohuset retrofit process, along with the reasons behind the choices which have led to the current result of a reduction by 2/3 of the energy need for space conditioning purposes. Then, in the second part, after a brief focus on the passive aspects which characterize the current energy performance of the building, it is carried out a feasibility analysis of an EWIS (external wall insulation system) by studying its interaction with a complex system as an optimization problem, with the main purpose of understanding the basis of the BPO and explore further building potentialities.<br>SIRen

Full textAbstract:
Multi-objective optimisation of building design variables is an appropriate and robust approach in assessing office building performance. Conversely, in developing country contexts like Ghana there is lack of credible building design variables from scientific and technical journals. The main research problem was low building performance assessment by building professionals in Ghana resulting in high cooling energy utilization and indoor environmental discomfort within the commercial building sector. Overall, the aim of the research was to use cost effective low energy technologies to optimize the building design variables to achieve recommended good practice for energy utilization of service equipment and indoor environmental performance in office building. Research questions addressed in this research included the following: 1. How does local building professionals’ practices impact on design variables used in performance assessment, and are occupants’ comfortable as well as satisfied with building performance in Ghana? 2. Are the building fabrics used in Ghana suitable for enhancing building performance? 3. How can the building performance design variables from survey questionnaires and experimental assessments be optimized? 4. Are the existing economic benefit assessment tools adequate for fast accurate decision making in comparing recommended good practice for cooling load by CIBSE Guides in hot-humid climate? The following creative and novel methodologies were used for this research: 1. Survey questionnaires using Bristol Online Survey Tool for the administration and acquisition of responses from participants. 2. Experimental assessment of selected fabrics from Ghana and creative parametric fabrics using both TCi Thermal Analyser and AutoPore IV mercury intrusion Porosimeter. 3. Computer simulations for optimised design variables using ESDL Tas. Finally, Design of creative comparator decision making tool for economic benefit assessment of the optimised computer simulations design variables. The selected significant findings from the application of the creative and novel methodologies in addition to the corresponding implications are summarised as follows: 1. An average of 16% of all building professionals do assess design variables associated with its practices with about 60% building professionals satisfied with Ghana building regulations, on the contrary, highly recommended for an improvement on the regulations. 2. Experimental assessment of representative selected Ghana building fabrics and enhanced parametric studies meets the thermo-physical properties outlined in the CIBSE Guide standards, with the range of thermal conductivity being 0.2 to 0.7W/m2K. 3. From the creative computer simulation outcomes, the cooling load of the base case is about 10 times more than the recommended good cooling load practice outlined in CIBSE Guides. The optimised computer simulation single wall layer building design model was achieved using optimum low transmittance building fabrics, optimum internal conditions and low chilled beam technology. 4. From the economic benefit assessment, an increasing trend of inverse correlation between difference in modification cost with cooling load reduction was observed. That is, for reduction in cooling load, there is an increasing cost in modification. For example, for reduction of cooling load of 40% from Case 1 to Case 3, there is a corresponding increase in modification cost of 79.4%. 5. Representative office occupants are generally satisfied and comfortable with building performance in Ghana. The above findings have compounded extreme implications on the local building professionals’ practices, leading to subsequently high cooling load, hence the rising energy utilization of service equipment in non-residential buildings. Finally, the overall aim of achieving the recommended good practice for service equipment energy utilization in commercial buildings was not accomplished for the cooling load. This is due to the difference in cooling load calendar used by CIBSE Guide and hot-humid climate, Ghana. In conclusion, an optimised low cost computer simulation of single wall layer envelope design, with cooling load of 120 kW/m2 for floor area and acceptable indoor environmental quality has been achieved in this research. It is strongly, recommended that, performance assessment should be incorporated into building permit issuing process using the designed creative feedback chart designed in this research.

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>建築系<br>102<br>Historic case of office building attacks attest lack of adequate building security and aware architects to contrive security design from early design stage to stave off additional problems at later stages. Considering the lack of knowledge for architects to develop programmatic requirement in security design, this research was conducted to (1)summarizing security design guidelines for office building based on zone classification as security layer and (2)demonstrating the application of security design guidelines to review security design of an office building design project to assess security level, identify security problems and propose facility management recommendations. Literature review method was used to summarize security design guidelines for
office building. Case study method by reviewing design drawings of Lille Office Building in France was used to demonstrate the application of security design guidelines to assess security level of building case.
This research organized summary of security design guidelines by zoning classification as security
layers, which are Zone 1 (Off-site Security), Zone 2 (Site Perimeter Security), Zone 3 (Site and Parking Security), and Zone 4 (Building Security). There were total 40 security design guidelines with 19 design categories summarized for overall zone and design categories. Design principles for improving Off-site Security (Zone 1) are to block the site from intentional intrusion and vehicle collision through streetscape furniture and traffic control; for improving Site Perimeter Security (Zone 2) are comply standoff distance and setback requirement to deter and delay intruders, and apply multiple layers of physical barrier as site boundaries for protection and emphasize territoriality; for improving Site and Parking Security (Zone 3) are control site and parking access to prevent unauthorized access, provide public space to increase surveillance and add site
amenities to navigate direction and act as orientation cue; and for improving Building Security (Zone 4) are protect vulnerable areas and main structure from high risk areas, and design building shape, building orientation and building hardening to reduce threat risks when occurs.
Case study method are used to assess the security level of the Lille Office Building design project. It is found that Off-site Security (Zone 1) of Lille Office Building is 67% secure, with the absence of traffic calming devices will effect on vehicle crash and greater blast effect. Site Perimeter Security (Zone 2) is 25% secure, with unmet distance of standoff distance, ground level and setback required will effect on building collapse and glass breakage injury. Site and Parking Security (Zone 3) is 86% secure, with too many site entrances (six) and the absence of weather-protected queuing areas at entries will effect on higher operation cost, sniper and crime activity. Building Security (Zone 4) is 82% secure, with complex geometries, sharp corner and parallel orientation to main public road from building mass will increase severe injuries, flying debris hazard and building collapse. Total 8 potential security problems found based on the number of security design guidelines which are not met, with the major potential security problems are building collapse and greater blast effect of
explosion threat. In addition, this research also found that security is not a single aspect. More security layer is established, the security system will be much more effective.

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>營建工程系<br>103<br>Due to global warming, climate changes, iceberg melting, and sea level rise in recent years, these cause habitat destruction and compromise human's living environment. In Taiwan, the temperature records have been broken in these three years. Air-conditioning equipment has become the necessity of life. Outside workers constantly have heat stroke. Life and the burning heat have become inseparable. According to years of statistics, the main reason of causing global warming is the carbon dioxide in the air. Therefore, in America, Asia, and EU, records of carbon footprints are emphasized in many industries and they try to lower the carbon footprints of their products.
However, the emission of carbon dioxide caused by architecture industry take up more than 30% of all emission. Green Building Rating Systems become the guard of reducing the impact brought by the architecture. Based on life cycle stage, the existing carbon emission assessment framework calculates buildings’ total carbon emission from adding carbon emission of building materials selection and the whole architectural engineering project. This framework features that it calculates every needed item in detail and make carbon emission be estimated accurately.
Therefore, the purpose of this study aims to develop a green building carbon emission assessment framework for office building. It makes designers to assess the possible carbon emission during the planning and designing stage. Beside, this system also fully connects with green building evaluation index. Green building assessment is also considered in carbon emission assessment. It make architects can know how carbon emission change during the detail design process in plan stage, and make the carbon emission reduction be implemented more effectively. Then achieving maximum efficiency in promoting the practicability, lowering the price and reducing environment impacts.

－Taipei Commercial Office Building as a Case Study－
ABSTRACT
For inadequate energy sources, Taiwan almost completely relies on import, and energy saving is the main policy for economic development. Since building industry is an important link in economic development, it is necessary to cooperate actively with the energy saving policy. There are many energy-saving studies on “ENVLOADs”, “mechanic efficiency of equipment”, but lacking of studies on space power consumption characteristics and power consumption structure, therefore, this study investigates and analyzes the power consumption by each space of the office building, to establish the analysis methods for power consumption of office building.
Because Today and the past office building is different on space using, this study is discussion the difference of power consumption modulus office building . At the first stage is anglicizing records to class with the space types of the characters of power consumption, then to sum up the factors of power consumption: room form and scale, equipment form and efficiency, using behavior and manage. Finally, to establish the relationship in influence factor and power consumption to ratiocination the modulus and the amount of room power consumption.
This study first investigates and monitors the power consumption of office building, then calculates consumption coefficient of each space and analyzes consumption factors, to build the analysis methods of power consumption by space.
1.The consumption coefficient of this entire building is 1.43 times of the office building, which has significant distance with the power consumption by the entire building representing the power consumption of office in the past.
2.The ENVLOADs factor has the most significant influence on the office space, but extremely small on the restaurant space of underground floors.
3.Plan air-conditioning system with consistent space characteristics according to the power consumption coefficient difference of each space.
4.Lighting density, time of use factors have the most significant influence on the space power consumption coefficient.
5.Industry categories have significant influence on the use frequency of lifts, so the arrangement of each floor should be based on the number of visitors.

This thesis project began with an interest in how architecture provides for both permanence
and temporality and how contemporary conditions may impact upon architectural form. An, office
building was chosen as the subject of exploration due to its ubiquitous nature and the requirement
that it be adaptable to the changing needs of its occupants. The need for a flexible and economic
architecture also presented the problem of anonymity and a lack of experiential richness. The
intention of the investigation was to discover in what ways, if any, the permanent and temporal
elements of a building might act in conjuction to create an enduring artifact which could respond to
and register the complexities of everyday life.
The project was inspired by observations in the city of Vancouver where development has
occurred in a rapid and often irregular manner. The eastern part of the downtown centre and
Yaletown were identified as particular areas of study. Patterns of development exhibit many
smaller sites left empty or used as parking until being developed. These sites revealed an
opportunity for the design of a medium-sized building which might maintain the smaller grain
characteristic of these areas. As a "type", it could be adapted to the particularities of its location as
well as the changing requirements of its occupants. A number of sites from four to six lots in width
were identified in the study area. Various configurations were then devised to adapt the building
model to particular site conditions including double party-wall versus corner locations and
different orientations.
The final project consists of the adaptation of this type to a site located on Homer Street near
Pender Street. It is adjacent to an alley which marks the change in grid orientation in the area and
allows three elevations of the building to be explored . The building employs an asymmetrically
situated atrium and a core divided into two separated pods which would allow for increased
penetration of natural light and ventilation. Structure, envelope and space dividing elements
operate independently. The building envelope is separated out into two layers: the interior layer
consists of a four foot wide grid of openings which may be filled with birch clad panels, bookcases or
glazed panels or fitted with operable louvered windows. Random placements of panels allow the
human inhabitation to be registered on the exterior of the building. The exterior skin then
superimposes a composition of glazed panels which responds to the scale and order of the city and
deals with environmental elements. A carved out entry lobby and two storey terrace along with
landscaped roofdeck provide gradations of public and private common areas.

碩士<br>國立臺南藝術大學<br>建築藝術研究所<br>103<br>The promotion of community building requires not only the active actions of private groups, but also the participation of government agencies. From the central government, local governments, and district offices to village offices, each unit can play a certain role in community building. Among these units, the most basic in the administrative system is the district office, which functions as a bridge that connects city and county governments with communities and the people. The special role of the district office in the promotion of community building is worth investigating.
In 2010, many municipalities were formed through mergers of cities and counties. The number of district offices directly appointed by municipal governments has increased from 23 to 158 (including Taoyuan City), and the district executives began to be appointed instead of being elected. These district offices have been seeking new governance patterns and have the opportunity to participate in community building from different approaches.
The present study conducted research on the process of hierarchically promoting community building in district offices from 2010 to 2014 in “The Community Empowerment Project of the New Hometown” by the Tainan City Cultural Affairs Bureau. First, we discussed the content of the policy design and the status of its promotion. The former includes the proposal on normalizing district offices, which requires the establishment of community building platforms, internal organizational learning, and investigations of local cultural resources. Through comparative analysis, the researchers sorted out common problems during community building and made relevant recommendations for future studies.
This study found that during the promotion of community building after the merger of cities and counties, the district offices are facing problems such as unstable new governance patterns, inadequate operational experience, shortage of human resources, ambiguity of work responsibilities, lack of community-building concepts, and mixed support from the Chief Minister. This study proposes the following five solutions for these problems: first, conducting continuous internal training in district offices and establishing basic concepts and operating practices; second, establishing promotion and reward measures for community building; third, establishing internal platforms in district offices to allow their divisions to share and understand each other's operations more quickly; fourth, seeking personnel with greater enthusiasm and interest to be involved in building executive teams and influence others; and finally, obtaining support and leadership from the Chief Minister to lead district offices in the integration of resources and operations across units.
