Housing Research Agenda Workshop

住房是人类最基本的需求之一。提供负担得起的、耐用的和高质量的住房一直是社会面临的最大挑战之一。多年来，为了帮助应对提供充足住房的挑战，进行了大量的研究工作。近年来，由于PATH，（推进住房技术的伙伴关系）计划在美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）和国家科学基金会（NSF）的倡议。拟议的研讨会的总体目的是双重的（1）通过总结最近完成和正在进行的NSF-PATH和其他相关的研究工作，以及（2）制定未来的研究方向，在主要领域的住房技术。研讨会将围绕五个主要领域展开：（1）建筑管理和生产;（2）结构设计和材料;（3）建筑围护结构、公用设施和能源系统;（4）住房技术对社区和经济的影响;以及（5）系统相互作用和整体住宅方法。拟议中的研讨会将成为推进住房技术领域知识的重要一步。以及更广泛的住房研究竞技场。为了确保拟议的讲习班产生更广泛的影响，在选择与会者时，将特别考虑在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体。此外，将鼓励重点领域领导人和参与者将综合研究和教育活动的实例作为其研究议程立场文件的一部分。讲习班定于2004年2月12日至14日在佛罗里达奥兰多的中央佛罗里达大学校园举行。根据总的时间表，要求为2003年8月16日至2004年8月15日提供资金。

AbstractHousing is one of the most basic needs of human beings. Providing affordable, durable andquality homes has always been one of the greatest challenges faced by society. Over theyears, a fair amount of research efforts have taken place to help meet the challenge ofproviding adequate housing. In recent years, there has been a renewed emphasis on housingtechnology research due to the PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technologies in Housing)program initiatives at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the ational Science Foundation (NSF).The overall purpose of the proposed workshop is twofold (1) to compile State of theArt of the housing technology research by summarizing recently completed and on-goingNSF-PATH and other related research efforts, and (2) to develop future research directionsin major areas of housing technology. The workshop will focus on five major areas (1)Construction Management and Production, (2) Structural Design and Materials, (3) Building Enclosures, Utilities and Energy Systems, (4) Community and Economic Impacts of Housing Technology, and (5) Systems Interactions and Whole House Approach.The proposed workshop will serve as an important step in advancing knowledge in the fieldof housing technology, as well as in the broader housing research arena. In order toensure a broader impact of the proposed workshop, groups that are underrepresented inscience and engineering fields will be given special consideration when selectingparticipants. In addition, the focus area leaders and participants will be encouraged toinclude examples of integrated research and education activities as part of their researchagenda position papers.The workshop is scheduled to be held on February 12-14, 2004 at the University of CentralFlorida campus in Orlando, Florida. The funding is requested for August 16, 2003 -August15, 2004, based on the overall schedule.
