Workshop Proposal for the International Conference on Sustainable Design, Engineering and Construction 2012 (ICSDEC 2012), Fort Worth, TX, November 7-9, 2012

1232658(庄)。本次研讨会将于2012年11月7日至9日在德克萨斯州沃斯堡举行的第二届可持续设计、工程和建设国际会议上举行。研讨会的目的是围绕建筑和基础设施的可持续性量化这一主题建立科学和研究议程。研讨会的重点是确定知识和研究需求，以支持建筑和基础设施设计、工程和施工的可持续性量化背后的科学发展（S2QBIDEC），并启动一个支持跨学科可持续性知识交流的平台。讲习班将在建筑和基础设施设计、工程和建造的可持续性量化领域建立一个研究人员网络。研讨会的学术界和工业界参与者将是多学科的，来自社会科学、数学、工程、城市规划、建筑和法律等领域。研讨会将弥合跨学科的知识差距，并促进学术界和业界专业人士之间更紧密的工作关系。来自NSF的资金将用于支持年轻的教师和学生参加S2QBIDEC研讨会（ICSDEC 2012会议的一部分）。获得资助的教师和学生将被要求向会议提交概念论文，这些论文将用于开发研讨会。这些概念论文也将在会议上发表。将建立一个网站，发布和记录讲习班。

1232658 (Chong). This workshop will be held at the 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Design, Engineering and Construction in Fort Worth, TX, November 7-9, 2012. The purpose of the workshop is to establish the sciences and research agenda around the theme of sustainability quantification for buildings and infrastructure. The workshop will focus on identifying the knowledge and research needs to support the development of the sciences behind sustainability quantification for building and infrastructure design, engineering and construction (S2QBIDEC), and to initiate a platform to support cross-disciplinary sustainability knowledge exchange. The workshop will establish a network of researchers in the area of sustainability quantification for building and infrastructure design, engineering and construction. Academia and industry participants at the workshop will be multi-disciplinary,coming from the fields of social science, mathematics, engineering, urban planning, architecture, and law. The workshop will bridge a cross-disciplinary knowledge gap and foster closer working relationships between academics and industry professionals. The funds from NSF will be used to support travel for younger faculty and students to attend the S2QBIDEC Workshop (part of ICSDEC 2012 conference). Funded faculty and students will be required to submit concept paper(s) to the conference, which will be used to develop the workshop. The concept papers will also be presented at the conference. A website will be established that publishes and documents the workshop.
