Concept to Completion Design Tools for Sustainable Buildings

在为期2年的项目中，HBXL将为中小企业提供一个易于使用的集成工具，从最初的概念和可行性到英国低影响建筑的详细设计。该系统将基于来自供应商的实时产品数据。该工具集将在2D/3D照片逼真的环境中提供资本和全寿命成本与碳影响的实时反馈，以便与所有利益相关者沟通早期设计选项，并鼓励创新和敏感性分析。由此产生的数据将由施工团队和建筑用户通过CAD接口访问，通过HBXL新的在线数据和项目管理服务提供JIT施工数据、产品特性和建筑用户信息。模块将允许产品和组件供应商上传和共享其系统的CAD图纸，以便拖放合并到设计中，并将所有成本和碳数据包含在自动化成本和碳影响评估中。这些目标将通过研究评估英国和国外的实践规范和其他标准来实现，从而为HBXL程序员设计规范。进一步的研究将调查供应链中所有商业部门以标准格式提供环境和技术数据的能力，以便将其整合到设计中，并就所需数据的格式和范围提供建议。额外的研究将确定3D游戏技术，以协助设计呈现和拟议设计的环境行为，同时审查新兴的移动计算技术，以实现即时访问。

Over the 2 year project HBXL will provide an easy to use integrated tool for SMEs to design buildings from initial concepts and feasibility through detailed design for low impact buildings in the UK. The system will be based on live product data from suppliers. The toolset will provide realtime feedback of the capital and whole life costs with carbon impacts in a 2D/3D photo realistic environment to communicate early stage design options to all stakeholders and encourage innovation and sensitivity analysis. The resulting data will be accessible by the construction team and building users via the CAD interface to provide JIT construction data, product characteristics and building user information via HBXL's new on-line data and project management services. Modules will allow suppliers of products and assemblies to upload and share their CAD drawings of their systems for drag and drop incorporation into designs, complete with all cost and carbon data for inclusion into the automated cost and carbon impact assessments. These objectives will be achieved following research to assess code of practice and other standards in the UK and abroad to devise specifications for HBXL programmers. Further research will investigate the ability for all business sectors in the supply chain to provide environmental and technical data in a standard format for integration into the designs and provide recommendations of the format and scope of the required data. Additional research will identify 3D gaming technologies to assist in design presentation and environmental behaviour of the proposed design together with a review of emerging mobile computing technologies for instant accessibility.
