US-Israel Workshop on Industrial Ecology in Multi-Scale Design and Construction of Sustainable Cities and Infrastructure

1340206(恩)。民用基础设施的设计和建造在其整个生命周期（从建筑原材料的提取到生命周期结束的管理）中对环境、社会和经济更加负责，这在世界范围内越来越受欢迎。这三个改善环境、社会和经济表现的设计目标，通常被称为可持续性的三重底线。作为一套重要的系统，在消耗大量物质资源和能源的同时，支持我们的生活质量，促进全球发展和进步，民用基础设施，特别是城市，必须根据这些全面的、长期的设计目标进行设计，以造福我们的星球，造福当代和后代的人类、动物和植物，将其称为家园。为了发现新的方法和工具，将工业生态整合到建筑环境的多尺度设计和施工中，劳伦斯理工大学创新材料研究中心（CIMR）和斯坦福大学土木与环境工程系与以色列海法的以色列理工学院联合组织了为期三天的研讨会。这个讲习班将在以色列举行。美国国家科学基金会将为美国代表团的15名成员提供必要的旅费和研讨会注册支持。由于美国目前正计划在可持续建筑环境系统中开发可持续建筑和建筑基础设施，计划邀请以色列研究可持续城市环境的研究人员和实践者，以及美国研究人员在我们的建筑环境中朝着类似的目标努力。预计来自以色列和美国的各种研究实验室将参与绿色建筑设计研究，将非化石能源系统整合到建筑元素中，可持续建筑材料工程，城市规划和设计以及工业生态系统分析。拟议的讲习班将促进双边思想交流。为期三天的研讨会将汇集研究人员，讨论工业生态学在建筑和城市设计中的方法论，可持续城市系统的多尺度设计，以及可持续建筑材料的工程。它将解决建筑环境设计中的环境、经济和社会问题，并将讨论使用三重底线指标的创新材料的影响。本次研讨会的一个主要目标是提高学术界内外对可持续建筑环境问题的教育和认识。将根据社会经济和环境方面的考虑，就采用最合适的技术提出建议。一个重要的研讨会产品将是一套建议，总结了在城市地区建设可持续建筑环境中实施创新设计和材料的最佳做法和可接受的方法。研讨会将汇集研究人员和思想家，讨论工业生态学的主题，如概率生命周期分析（LCA）和概率可持续性设计方法，以及它们在环境敏感和资源有限地区的绿色建筑设计和可持续基础设施设计中创造创新材料时的应用。本次研讨会的另一个重要成果将是一个最佳实践和新兴工业生态工具和方法的目录，这些工具和方法可用于在不断发展的建筑环境中设计和评估新材料、结构和系统。该资源旨在促进绿色建筑、交通系统和城市环境中新材料和新技术的快速采用，从而改善经济、社会和环境绩效

1340206 (Grace). The design and construction of civil infrastructure that is more environmentally, socially, and economically responsible over its full life cycle from extraction of raw construction materials to end of life management is increasingly desirable worldwide. Altogether these three design goals of improved environmental, social, and economic performance are commonly known as the triple bottom line of sustainability. As a critical set of systems that support our quality of life and enable global development and progress while consuming vast amounts of material resources and energy, it is essential that civil infrastructure, in particular cities, are designed according to these comprehensive, long term design goals for the benefit of our planet and the current and future generations of humans, animals, and plants that will call it home. With the aim of discovering new ways and tools to integrate industrial ecology within the multi-scale design and construction of built environments, a three-day long workshop is being organized by the Center for Innovative Materials Research (CIMR) of Lawrence Tech University and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Stanford University, in conjunction with Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in Haifa, Israel. This workshop will be held in Israel. NSF will provide necessary support for travel expenses and workshop registration of the 15 members of the US delegate team. As efforts are currently being planned in the US toward developing sustainable buildings and building infrastructure within sustainable built environment systems, it is planned to have participation from Israeli researchers and practitioners working on sustainable urban environments and US researchers working towards similar goals in our built environments. Participation from various research laboratories throughout Israel and the US that are engaged in the research of green building design, integration of non-fossil-based energy systems into building elements, engineering of sustainable building materials, urban planning and design, and industrial ecology systems analysis is anticipated. The bilateral exchange of ideas will be facilitated by the proposed workshop. The three-day workshop will bring together researchers to discuss topics on the methodology of industrial ecology for building and city design, multi-scale design of sustainable urban systems, and engineering of sustainable building materials. It will address environmental, economic, and social concerns in built environment design, and deliberations will be held on the impact of innovative materials using triple-bottom-line metrics. A major goal of the proposed workshop will be to increase education and awareness of sustainable built environment issues both within and outside of academia. Recommendations will be made in adoption of the most suitable technologies in the context of socio-economic and environmental considerations. One important workshop product will be a set of recommendations summarizing the best practices and acceptable methods for implementing innovative designs and materials in the construction of sustainable built environments in urban areas.The workshop will bring together researchers and thinkers to discuss topics on industrial ecology, such as probabilistic life cycle analysis (LCA) and probabilistic sustainability design approaches, and their use when creating innovative materials in green building design and sustainable infrastructure design in environmentally sensitive and resource-limited areas. Another important product of this workshop will be a catalogue of best practices and emerging industrial ecology tools and methods that can be used for the design and evaluation of new materials, structures, and systems in growing built environments. This resource is intended to facilitate the rapid adoption of new materials and technologies for green buildings, transportation systems, and urban environments that exhibit improved economic, social, and environmental performance
