I/UCRC Phase I: Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites

I/UCRC可持续综合建筑和场地（SIBS） 1161031北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校；Robert Cox 1161017卡内基梅隆大学；Volker Hartkopf 1160872纽约市立大学；可持续综合建筑和场地中心（SIBS）将汇集不同的利益相关者（即建筑业主和运营商、组件制造商、设计师、公用事业供应商等），制定一个研究议程，重点关注建筑与环境之间的相互作用。这是一种涉及多种资源流动（即能源、水、材料和空气）的相互作用，并在影响单个建筑和整个社区的规模上发生。卡内基梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）和纽约市立大学（CUNY City College）正在合作建立这个拟议中的中心，北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校（UNCC）是牵头机构。这个规划项目的主要目标是与不同的行业伙伴和政府/非政府机构建立正式的伙伴关系，这些机构对创造一个更可持续的建筑环境感兴趣。IUCRC提议的研究主题是针对行业需求，以应对监管和公众对减少原始材料使用、水使用、不可再生能源使用和废物产生的要求，以及保护支持人类生活的自然系统的社会需求。拟议的中心将是多学科性质的，独立于任何一个部门、学校或学院。SIBS计划利用来自北卡罗莱纳州、纽约州和宾夕法尼亚州的技术商业化办公室和企业孵化器的机会和资金。更广泛的影响包括加强建筑行业的研发和技术转移基础设施，在未来几十年可能增长的地区进行学生培训（包括少数民族学生），以及通过年度教育和会员公司员工的外展计划进行劳动力培训。此外，通过潜在的分拆公司和增加现有公司的收入，预计会产生长期的经济影响。拟议中的中心有一个广泛而深入的教育和推广计划，包括所有项目的研究生和本科生研究人员。此外，pi打算利用各种机制向从业者和学生传播SIBS的研究成果。

I/UCRC for Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites (SIBS) 1161031 University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Robert Cox 1161017 Carnegie Mellon University; Volker Hartkopf 1160872 CUNY City College; Robert Paaswell The Center for Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites (SIBS) would bring together a disparate set of stakeholders (i.e. building owners and operators, component manufacturers, designers, utility providers, etc.) to develop a research agenda focused on the interaction between buildings and their environment. This is an interaction that involves several resource flows (i.e. energy, water, materials, and air) and occurs at scales that affect individual buildings and the community at large. Carnegie Mellon University and the CUNY City College are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) as the lead institution. The primary goal of this planning project is to initiate formal partnership with various industry partners and government/non-governmental agencies that have an interest in creating a more sustainable built environment. The research themes at the proposed IUCRC are aimed at the industry need to respond to regulatory and public demands for minimizing virgin material use, water use, non-renewable energy use, and waste generation, and also at the societal need to protect the natural systems that support human life. The proposed Center will be multi-disciplinary in nature and independent of any one department, school or college. SIBS plans to leverage opportunities and funding from technology commercialization offices and business incubators in North Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Broader Impact includes the enhancement of R&D and technology transfer infrastructure for the buildings industry, student training (including minority students) in an area that is likely to grow over the next several decades, and workforce training through an annual education and outreach programs for member company employees. Additionally, long term economic impact is expected through potential spin-off companies and increased revenue for existing companies. The proposed center has a broad and deep education and outreach program that includes graduate and undergraduate researchers on all projects. In addition, the PIs intend to use various mechanisms to disseminate SIBS research results to practitioners and students.
