Urban Climate and Energy System Resilience and Adaptability

该项目旨在探索城市尺度上能源与气候之间的相互作用，寻找早期设计解决方案，以增加弹性和适应性。英国的能源系统和气候正在迅速变化，这就要求密集的城市环境在未来几十年里迅速发展。弹性是对系统变化或冲击作出反应、应对和迅速恢复的能力，而适应性则是对新因素作出反应的能力。从能源和气候的角度来看，我们的建筑环境迫切需要增强弹性和适应性。能源技术选择产生的适应性和弹性可以通过改善建筑设计、整合基于自然的解决方案、促进行为改变、智能计量和控制、整体系统思维以及利用新的能源生产和储存技术等干预措施融入我们的城市。建筑在更广泛的能源系统中发挥着关键作用，是我们实现净零排放的国家脱碳战略的重要组成部分，并有助于提高地方、区域和国家能源系统的复原力。本项目将探索这些干预措施在现实世界建筑和城市设计应用中的相互作用和整合，重点关注早期设计阶段。

The project aims to explore the interactions between energy and climate at the urban scale, to find early stage design solutions which will increase resilience and adaptability.Energy systems and the climate are changing rapidly in the UK, requiring dense urban environments to evolve quickly over the coming decades. Resilience is the ability to respond to, cope with, and recover quickly from system change or shocks - whilst adaptability relates to the capability to change in response to new factors. Increased resilience and adaptability are both urgently needed in our built environment from an energy and climate perspective.Adaptability and resilience emerge from technology choice in the context of energy can be embedded in our cities through interventions such as better building design, integration of nature-based solutions, promoting behavioural change, smart metering and control, holistic systems-thinking, and utilisation of new energy generation and storage technologies. Buildings have a key role to play in the wider energy system as an essential component in our national decarbonisation strategy towards net zero, and in contributing to the resilience of local, regional, and national energy system.This project will explore the interactions and integration of these interventions in real-world building and urban design applications, focusing on early-design stages.
