Integrating Hazard Resistant Design with Green Building Design for Life-Cycle Improvements in Building Sustainability

本研究的目的是发现一个框架，将抗风险的原则，在绿色建筑设计。绿色建筑设计试图减少建筑物对环境的影响，建筑物的建造和运营对美国总的能源和水的使用以及产生的废物有很大的贡献。易受自然灾害影响的建筑物与绿色建筑理念直接冲突，因为灾害损坏的建筑物会产生额外的废物，需要额外的资源进行修复。拟议研究的核心组成部分是制定一个生命周期评估方法，其中包括建筑物的环境影响和建筑物的抗灾能力。建筑物在各个阶段的抗风险效果？考虑了建筑物的使用寿命，原因包括：（1）建筑物设计和施工中的差异取决于所考虑的危害;（2）维护、修理和翻新要求，考虑到危险事件期间的损坏风险;（3）缩短建筑物使用寿命的灾害。对环境影响的量化是通过对灾害抵抗力的数学概率评估，评估结果纳入生命周期分析，如果成功，研究将有助于制定标准，将建筑结构设计考虑地震、风和雪荷载与绿色建筑评级联系起来，纳入建筑标准和设计准则。将绿色建筑与抗危害性评估相结合的建筑性能科学和指标的进步是迈向更可持续建筑环境的变革性一步。该项目还将导致开发一个新的多学科本科课程，建筑性能：社会，可持续性，安全性和风格，这将使用科罗拉多大学校园的LEED白金认证建筑作为实验室，以帮助学生发展对建筑设计的更全面的理解。在课程中的学生还将参加一个长期的研究，旨在了解如何跨学科的课程准备他们的工程职业生涯。

This research aims to discover a framework that incorporates hazard resistant principles in green building design. Green building design attempts to reduce the environmental impacts of buildings, the construction and operation of which contributes significantly to total U.S. energy and water usage and waste generated. Buildings that are vulnerable to natural hazards are in direct conflict with green building ideals, because disaster-damaged buildings generate additional waste and require extra resources for repair. The core component of the proposed research is the formulation of a life-cycle assessment methodology that incorporates building environmental impacts and building hazard resistance. The effect of hazard resistance during each phase of a building?s lifespan is considered, accounting for 1) differences in building design and construction depending on the hazards considered, 2) maintenance, repair and renovation requirements, considering the risk of damage during hazardous events, and 3) disasters that shorten the building service life. The environmental impacts are quantified through a mathematical probabilistic assessment of hazard resistance, the results of which are incorporated in life-cycle analyses.If successful, the research will facilitate the development of criteria connecting structural building design considerations for earthquakes, wind and snow loads with green building ratings that could be incorporated in building standards and design guidelines. The advancement of building performance science and metrics that integrate green building with hazard resistance evaluations is a transformative step toward a more sustainable built environment. The project will also lead to the development of a new multidisciplinary undergraduate course, Building Performance: Society, Sustainability, Safety and Style, which will use a LEED-platinum certified building on the University of Colorado campus as a laboratory to help students develop a more holistic understanding of building design. Students in the course will also participate in a long-term study aimed at understanding how interdisciplinary coursework prepares them for engineering careers.
