"Restructuring urban housing to deliver affordable sustainable homes while contributing to enhanced living environment and mitigating housing's ecological impact (decarbonising housing) is one of the most pressing contemporary societal challenges in the UK and internationally. This project aims to demonstrate how urban microclimate modelling of the spaces between buildings can generate effective descriptors and predictors of change in the liveability of urban housing developments and thus contribute to improved housing design outcomes (liveability and decarbonisation) and project appraisals. On-going research into housing stock energy modelling (HSEM) has informed policies on decarbonising the residential sector in the UK and Europe, including estimated trajectories of nation-wide adoption of new building specifications meeting higher environmental performance standards. While further development of HSEM will continue to drive down the carbon footprint of a nation's housing stock, much less research has been given to how change in liveability of housing environments may result from the complex interaction between energy-driven housing stock restructuring and climate change. Currently, even the physical dimension of liveability (e.g., outdoor and indoor air quality, thermal comfort, vegetation biodiversity, among others) is rarely taken into account in housing stock modelling research. This project seeks to develop a housing stock liveability modelling framework using the latest UK climate change projections (UKCP18) as an example. The model will address the components of outdoor and indoor environmental quality as potential indicators of liveability. Given that similar housing challenges are seen in many other nations the research will also be of international significance and relevance.The project will be a partnership with the Sheffield Housing Company (SHC), a public-private joint venture developer aiming to build approximately 2,300 new homes in Sheffield in the next 10-15 years. SHC is committed to the proposed studentship evidenced by the £20,050 cash and in-kind contribution. The project relates to three WRDTP thematic pathways but is most centrally located within the Cities, Environment and Liveability (CEL) pathway, given its focuses on healthy cities, sustainable urban development, connected communities and the growing importance of interactions between populations and climate change. The project is also situated well within the Data, Communication, and New Technologies (DCT) pathway through its emphasis on data landscape, 'datafication', visual analytics and data-driven decision-making. In addition, the project resonates with the Sustainable Growth, Management and Economic Productivity (SMP) pathway given its explicit reference to high-level quantitative methods and the role of state regulation and public services in facilitating change."

“重建城市住房以提供负担得起的可持续住房，同时有助于改善生活环境和减轻住房的生态影响（脱碳住房）是英国和国际上最紧迫的当代社会挑战之一。该项目旨在展示建筑物之间空间的城市微气候建模如何生成城市住房开发宜居性变化的有效描述符和预测因子，从而有助于改善住房设计成果（宜居性和脱碳）和项目评估。对住房存量能源模型（HSEM）的持续研究为英国和欧洲的住宅部门脱碳政策提供了信息，包括全国范围内采用符合更高环境性能标准的新建筑规范的估计轨迹。虽然HSEM的进一步发展将继续降低一个国家住房存量的碳足迹，但对能源驱动的住房存量重组和气候变化之间复杂的相互作用如何导致住房环境宜居性的变化的研究要少得多。目前，即使是宜居性的物理维度（例如，室外和室内空气质量、热舒适度、植被生物多样性等）很少在住房存量建模研究中得到考虑。该项目旨在以英国最新的气候变化预测（UKCP 18）为例，开发一个住房存量宜居性建模框架。该模型将处理室外和室内环境质量的组成部分，作为宜居性的潜在指标。鉴于许多其他国家也存在类似的住房挑战，该研究也将具有国际意义和相关性。该项目将与谢菲尔德住房公司（SHC）合作，该公司是一家公私合营开发商，旨在未来10-15年内在谢菲尔德建造约2,300套新住房。SHC致力于通过20，050英镑的现金和实物捐助证明拟议的助学金。该项目涉及三个WRDTP主题路径，但最集中的是城市，环境和宜居性（CEL）路径，因为其重点是健康城市，可持续城市发展，互联社区以及人口与气候变化之间相互作用的日益重要性。该项目还通过其对数据景观，“简化”，可视化分析和数据驱动决策的强调，在数据，通信和新技术（DCT）途径中占有一席之地。此外，该项目与可持续增长，管理和经济生产力（SMP）途径产生共鸣，因为它明确提到了高层次的量化方法以及国家监管和公共服务在促进变革中的作用。"
