The objective of this research project is to help scientists and practitioners understand how teams of engineers, architects and builders can design buildings that have better energy performance and are more habitable. Using a healthcare project as a test case, this research seeks to explain under what conditions engineers best translate technical analysis of potential energy performance to support decision making that leads to higher performance buildings. The research combines observation of design analytics and decision-making in one healthcare project, interviews with 50 experts, and assessment of 50 completed projects. Working with industry partners, via workshops, this project will disseminate best practices found in the research. The project will also develop curriculum to foster underrepresented participation through problem based collaborative learning and train US engineering students in translation and synthesis so that they may become better industry leaders who are able to collaborate across engineering disciplines. This research will advance our understanding of collaboration, especially in the new interdisciplinary and iterative design processes that use energy modeling software. This project will advance knowledge of human-software-organizational interaction and contribute to the fields of architecture, engineering design and management, communication, and organizational behavior. Healthcare infrastructure such as hospitals and clinics consumes more than 5 percent of the total energy used in the US. Energy conserving buildings require integrated design, whereas today analysis is done separately by different engineering specialties. By better use of analytical modeling and organizational innovation, this project seeks to improve the building process and maximize the ecological efficiency of buildings.

该研究项目的目的是帮助科学家和从业人员了解工程师，建筑师和建筑商团队如何设计具有更好的能源性能和更适合居住的建筑物。本研究以一个医疗保健项目为测试案例，试图解释在什么条件下工程师最好地将潜在能源性能的技术分析转化为决策支持，从而实现更高性能的建筑。该研究结合了对一个医疗保健项目的设计分析和决策的观察，对50名专家的采访，以及对50个已完成项目的评估。该项目将通过讲习班与行业伙伴合作，传播研究中发现的最佳做法。 该项目还将开发课程，通过基于问题的协作学习促进代表性不足的参与，并培训美国工程专业的学生进行翻译和综合，使他们成为能够跨工程学科合作的更好的行业领导者。 这项研究将促进我们对协作的理解，特别是在使用能源建模软件的新的跨学科和迭代设计过程中。这个项目将推进人-软件-组织交互的知识，并有助于建筑，工程设计和管理，通信和组织行为等领域。医院和诊所等医疗基础设施消耗的能源占美国总能源消耗的5%以上。 节能建筑需要一体化设计，而今天的分析是由不同的工程专业分开进行的。通过更好地利用分析建模和组织创新，该项目旨在改善建筑过程，最大限度地提高建筑的生态效率。
