项目摘要

New knowledge, inventions and insights begin with an idea, but without further research and, very often funding, ideas can remain just that: they are not examined critically, their potential value in not tested, and thus their benefits to society are not realised. This Feasibility Account will provide researchers, technicians and academics with a forum for bringing forward their bright ideas together with the opportunity to access the support, time and funding needed to explore their ideas more fully. The Feasibility Account will fund ideas from three theme areas. The low carbon society: energy use for all purposes, buildings, transport, industry etc; alternative energy sources, especially renewable energy technologies; government policy, social attitudes and motivations, and the role of the media and other information vehicles.People, systems and buildings: reducing energy demand and increased energy efficiency for providing heat, cooling and light to building occupants, building design and construction and performance monitoring and maintenance - with the emphasis on meeting occupant needs through innovation, ICT applications, and novel people-centred design.Comfort, climate and demographics: the implications of the combined effects of climate change and shifts in demographics and lifestyles, such as the aging society, obesity and home working, on resource demands, health and well-being.Clearly, these areas are major concerns for humanity and yet solutions to these global problems still require new academic research - often research that combines academics from different disciplines, especially engineers and scientists working alongside social scientists and economists. Together they can address the complete pathway from technical potential through to financial viability and social acceptability.This Feasibility Account will support researchers who work across the many departments at Loughborough University. Through their previous joint projects, which are often co-ordinated through the Sustainability Research School, they have a track record of constructive collaboration. The Feasibility Account will build on and strengthen this culture of working, enable new and innovative ideas to be developed and identify those with clear potential. The strong links that the University has with industry and other stakeholders increases the likelihood that the ideas will ultimately be taken up for the wiser benefit of the society.

新的知识、发明和见解始于一个想法，但如果没有进一步的研究和资金，想法可能会保持不变：它们没有得到批判性的审查，它们的潜在价值没有得到检验，因此它们对社会的好处也没有实现。这个可行性账户将为研究人员、技术人员和学者提供一个提出他们的聪明想法的论坛，并有机会获得更充分地探索他们的想法所需的支持、时间和资金。可行性账户将为三个主题领域的想法提供资金。低碳社会：用于所有目的、建筑、交通、工业等的能源；替代能源，特别是可再生能源技术；政府政策、社会态度和动机，以及媒体和其他信息载体的作用。人、系统和建筑：减少能源需求，提高能源效率，为建筑居住者提供热量、制冷和照明，建筑设计和施工以及性能监测和维护-重点是通过创新、ICT应用和新的以人为本的设计满足居住者的需求。舒适、气候和人口统计：气候变化和人口和生活方式变化的综合影响的影响，如老龄化社会、肥胖和家庭工作，对资源需求、健康和福祉的影响。显然，这些领域是人类的主要关切，但这些全球问题的解决方案仍然需要新的学术研究--通常是将不同学科的学者结合在一起的研究，特别是与社会科学家和经济学家一起工作的工程师和科学家。它们结合在一起可以解决从技术潜力到财务可行性和社会可接受性的完整途径。这个可行性账户将支持在拉夫堡大学许多部门工作的研究人员。通过他们之前的联合项目，这些项目通常通过可持续发展研究学院进行协调，他们在建设性合作方面有着良好的记录。可行性账户将建立和加强这种工作文化，使新的和创新的想法得以开发，并确定那些具有明显潜力的想法。该大学与工业界和其他利益攸关方之间的紧密联系增加了这些想法最终被采纳以造福社会的可能性。
