项目摘要

The CBES group at the UCL Bartlett School of Graduate Studies received its Platform Award in 2006 and the funding has facilitated a period of sustained success. Platform funding has been of critical value in helping us to retain key staff, to innovate and in providing the flexibility to be adventurous. We have also been able to enhance our knowledge exchange/transfer work and international collaboration. This has been reflected in the quality, growth and range of our activities. The Platform funding thus enabled us to establish a multi-disciplinary, world-leading research group which has dramatically increased in size, resulted in world leading academic publications, seeded a new Institute (Energy), developed new methods of interdisciplinary and systems working and won international prizes. CBES was submitted to and awarded the highest percentage (35%) of world leading rated researchers of any UK university in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) - Architecture and the Built Environment Panel. Building on the work directly supported or indirectly facilitated by the current Platform Grant, and also responding to new opportunities, the strategic direction of this continuation proposal represents a step change for CBES. During the period of the current Platform Grant, CBES was primarily interested in developing multi-disciplinary solutions to the practical problems of designing, constructing and managing environments within and around buildings. In the next quinquennium we will strengthen our world-leading position. We propose a strategic programme of activity in a timely new research direction - the unintended consequences of decarbonising the built environment . We aim to transform understanding of this urgent issue that will have enormous impact internationally.In order to predict the possible future states of such a complex socio-technical system, conventional scientific approaches that may have been appropriate for systems capable of being analysed into simple components are no longer applicable. Instead, we need to bring radically new approaches and ways of thinking to bear. We need to develop and extend our multi- and inter- disciplinary ways of working and be informed by modern complexity science. The initial Platform grant has helped set up a group that includes building scientists, heritage scientists, economists, systems modellers and social scientists. The renewal will enable the group to focus on this urgent problem, to develop appropriate research methods and help develop real-world solutions within the required timescale. The number of Investigators has increased from 11 at the start of the existing Platform Grant to 13 in the renewal - a vital expansion to enable the inclusion of a wider range of disciplines. Nevertheless, facilitated by Platform funding, we will now need to form a whole new set of additional alliances to support the development of our proposed work.One of the key achievements of the current Platform Grant has been the spinning off of the newly formed UCL Energy Institute (EI). CBES is thus ideally placed to benefit from the extensive and diverse range of energy demand reduction work at the EI. However, the EI is not funded to study unintended consequences and this Platform renewal will thus perfectly complement EI activity. Via Platform funding and in partnership with the EI, CBES aims to develop a new concentration of world-leading research excellence in this field. We will establish a regional hub for research collaboration with local universities which will ensure that benefits from Platform funding are felt more widely than UCL alone.

伦敦大学学院巴特利特研究生院的CBES小组在2006年获得了平台奖，这笔资金促进了一段时期的持续成功。平台资金在帮助我们留住关键员工、创新和提供敢于冒险的灵活性方面具有至关重要的价值。我们还加强了我们的知识交流/转让工作和国际合作。这反映在我们活动的质量、增长和范围上。因此，平台资金使我们能够建立一个多学科的、世界领先的研究小组，该小组的规模大幅扩大，产生了世界领先的学术出版物，建立了一个新的研究所(能源)，开发了跨学科和系统工作的新方法，并赢得了国际奖项。在2008年的研究评估活动(RAE)--建筑和建筑环境小组中，CBE被提交给并被授予英国大学中世界领先的研究人员的比例最高(35%)。在当前平台赠款直接支持或间接促进的工作的基础上，并对新的机遇做出回应，这一继续提案的战略方向代表着CBE的一步变化。在目前的平台赠款期间，CBEs主要感兴趣的是开发多学科解决方案，以解决建筑物内和周围的设计、建造和管理环境的实际问题。在下一个五年计划中，我们将巩固我们在世界上的领先地位。我们在一个及时的新的研究方向上提出了一个战略性的活动计划--建筑环境脱碳的意外后果。我们的目标是改变对这一将在国际上产生巨大影响的紧迫问题的理解。为了预测如此复杂的社会技术系统的未来可能状态，可能适合于能够被分析成简单组件的系统的传统科学方法不再适用。相反，我们需要带来全新的方法和思维方式。我们需要发展和扩展我们的多学科和跨学科的工作方式，并获得现代复杂性科学的信息。最初的平台赠款帮助建立了一个小组，成员包括建筑科学家、遗产科学家、经济学家、系统建模师和社会科学家。此次更新将使该小组能够专注于这一紧迫问题，开发适当的研究方法，并帮助在所需的时间范围内开发现实世界的解决方案。调查人员的人数已从现有平台赠款开始时的11人增加到续签时的13人--这是一个至关重要的扩大，使更广泛的学科得以纳入。然而，在平台资金的推动下，我们现在需要组建一套全新的额外联盟来支持我们拟议工作的发展。目前平台赠款的主要成就之一是剥离了新成立的伦敦大学学院能源研究所(EI)。因此，CBE处于理想的地位，可以从EI广泛和多样化的能源需求减少工作中受益。然而，EI的资金并不是用来研究意外后果的，因此，此次平台更新将完美地补充EI活动。通过平台资助和与EI的合作，CBEs的目标是在这一领域发展世界领先的研究精英的新集中度。我们将建立一个与当地大学合作的区域研究中心，确保平台资助的好处比伦敦大学学院本身更广泛。
