本研究旨在开发建模和设计策略，以优化建筑群的能源性能和弹性。近期目标：1）城市建筑群原型设计及其代表建筑的能源建模。原型的设计将结合联合收割机不同的建筑类型和设计，城市形式和建筑系统。2)制定可扩展、灵活和全面的建模策略和关键性能指标，以便在建筑和集群规模上集成先进技术和能源概念。3)制定战略，减轻各种压力对城市建筑群性能的负面影响。压力源将包括假想的灾害（包括流行病）。 我们会为不同类型的建筑物和邻近景观建立详细的能源模型，并采用先进的能源效益措施（例如在建筑物和周围环境中安装开窗、智能材料、遮阳装置）。单个代表性建筑的能源模型将被合并到城市规模的模型中，这些模型将考虑邻里设计（例如密度，街道布局）以及开放区域设计的城市组件和技术。我们将采用仿真工具平台，将个别建筑物模型合并为大型集群模型，该模型将考虑能源消耗、各种来源的能源产生以及不同能源解决方案对环境的影响。与特定灾害（如停电、自然灾害（如洪水）造成的居民流离失所、流行病等）相关的压力源的选定情景对能源绩效的影响将被评估。设计方面，可以采取应对这些压力，如密度，在建筑设计和功能的变化和技术的组合将进行分析。这项研究预计将在学术，研究和工业领域产生重大影响。将根据模拟结果建立建筑群数据库，将城市形态与能源选择和技术联系起来。这可以帮助包括政府在内的许多部门努力提高加拿大社区的复原力和可持续性。该研究将表明各种城市级设计参数，能源系统和能源组合对建筑群的能源和环境性能的影响。综合城市级建模战略提出了一种创新方法，将建筑和社区建筑和空间方面与先进技术、能源和系统相结合。这项研究可以激励基于创新可再生能源技术的工业发展。将这些技术纳入建筑物和城市地区，除了经济和环境效益外，还将为当地提供就业机会。

This research proposal aims at developing modeling and design strategies to optimize the energy performance and resilience of building clusters. The following short-term objectives will be addressed: 1) Design of archetypes of urban building clusters and energy modeling of their representative buildings. Archetypes will be designed to combine different building types and designs, urban forms and building systems. 2) Develop scalable, flexible and holistic modeling strategies, and key performance indicators, that allow the integration of advanced technologies and energy concepts, at building and cluster scales. 3) Develop strategies for mitigating the negative impact of various stressors on the performance of urban building clusters. Stressors will encompass scenarios of hypothetical disasters (including pandemics). Detailed energy models of various building types and adjacent landscape will be developed, incorporating advanced energy efficiency measures (e.g. fenestration, smart materials, shading devices in buildings and surroundings). Energy models of single representative buildings will be merged into urban-scale models that account for neighborhood design (e.g. density, street layout) and for urban components and technologies designed in open areas. A platform of simulation tools will be employed to merge individual building models into large cluster model, which takes into account energy consumption, energy generation from various sources and the environmental impact of different energy solutions. The effects on energy performance of selected scenarios of stressors associated with specific disasters (e.g. power outage, displacement of inhabitants due to natural disaster (e.g. flood), pandemics, etc.) will be evaluated. Design aspects that can be adopted to respond to these stressors, such as density, change in building design and functions and mixes of technologies will be analyzed. This research is expected to have a significant impact across the academic, research and industrial domains. A database of building clusters is to be generated, based on simulation results, relating urban form with energy options and technologies. This can assist many sectors, including the government, in efforts to increase resilience and sustainability of Canadian communities. The research will indicate impact of various urban-level design parameters, energy systems, and mix of energy sources on energy and environmental performance of building clusters. The integrated urban-level modelling strategies present an innovative approach that combines building and neighborhood architectural and spatial aspects with advanced technologies and energy sources and systems. This research can provide an incentive for industrial developments based on innovative renewable energy technologies. The integration of such technologies in buildings and urban areas will provide local employment opportunities, in addition to the economic and environmental benefits.
