Abstract:

The environmental impact of human behaviour on the design, construction and operation of buildings is often overlooked, frequently resulting in sub optimal performance over the lifecycle of the building (credibility gap and value-action gap). An over-reliance on technological and market solutions (false positivity) throughout the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings means changing user behaviour is not currently envisaged by all but the most sustainability-minded built environment professionals. This study aims to develop an understanding of the dynamic and complex syste

Thesis (MScEng (Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The thesis was initiated by a Consulting Engineering Company (KV3) as a research project to investigate various options in which the efficiency and energy utilisation of conventional air conditioning systems may be enhanced by using alternative and renewable energy. Initially, eight options had been identified and through a process of determining the degree of commercialisation the alternative options were reduced to three. These options, referred to as the sustainable cooling

Abstract:

The green building market has seen tremendous growth in the past decade. Organizations such as the US Green Building Council have emerged to become a dominant leader in the building industry. Although the green building rating systems are cross-disciplinary, much of the focus has been directed towards design-related input. General Contractors play an important role in delivering successful sustainable construction projects. If an integrated project delivery method is chosen, the General Contractor may offer insightful preconstruction assistance by providing ideas on green construction me

Abstract:

The building industry is identified as the largest single contributor to climate change, due to extensive consumption of natural resources and the discharge of high volumes of carbon emissions. It is consequently imperative for the whole sector to work towards sustainable design and construction. Although structural engineers have the greatest potential to enhance buildings’ sustainability by means of structural optimisation and/or material efficiency, they often play a restricted role in the sustainable design of a project. While many studies separately investigate the eco-friendly potentials

Progress has ensued, and research continually aims to improve the appropriateness of broadly adaptable procedures to contribute to the improvement of all aspects of development.
