BE MUSES: Towards Self-Sustaining High-Rise Buildings: Framework for an Analysis of Materials, Energy, Economic and Social Issues

这是：缪斯规划赠款将支持旨在推进绿色或可持续建筑研究的活动。可持续建筑做法旨在减少资源消耗、能源消耗、生命周期成本以及污染物和废物的产生，同时提高人类生产力。 理想情况下，自我维持的建筑物可以产生自己的能源，并产生安全，可再生，闭环的建筑和运营材料流。 该规划项目的主要目标是为分析一座大型、自立的高层建筑建立一个初步框架，重点是建筑物的公用设施。该项目将通过以下方式实现其目标：围绕由一名土木工程师、一名城市规划师和一名建筑师组成的核心团队组建一个经验丰富的跨学科团队;进行权衡分析，重点关注投机性、自我维持的高层建筑的公用事业基础设施;举办一个小型跨学科讲习班，审查权衡分析，并讨论纳入经济和政策方面的问题，并提交完整的提案。 调查结果将通过一个网站和专题介绍传播给从业人员，并作为城市规划和废物管理课程的案例研究。建筑设计的选择对环境有着重要的影响，也极大地影响着用户的生活质量。该项目将建立一个分析框架，以评估能够自行发电和循环利用大量水的自立高层建筑如何有助于减少材料和能源的使用。该项目将制定方法，评估在何种情况下会有足够的回报，证明这种自给自足的投资是合理的。 该项目将改善建筑设计和影响自我维持建筑实践的公共决策的知识基础。该规划奖将由CMS和SBE共同管理和共同资助。

This BE:MUSES planning grant will support activities directed at advancing research on green or sustainable construction. Sustainable building practices are intended to reduce resource consumption, energy consumption, life-cycle costs and production of pollutants and wastes, while improving human productivity. Ideally, self-sustaining buildings produce their own energy and engender safe, regenerative, closed-loop construction and operational materials flow. The primary objective of this planning project is to develop a preliminary framework for the analysis of a large, self-sustaining, high-rise building with a focus on the building's utilities. This project will achieve its objectives by assembling an experienced, interdisciplinary team around the core team of a civil engineer, an urban planner and an architect, conducting a trade-off analysis with focus on the utility infrastructure for a speculative, self-sustaining, high-rise building, conducting a small, interdisciplinary workshop to review the trade-off analysis and discuss the inclusion of economic and policy aspects, and submitting a full proposal. Findings will be disseminated to practitioners via a web site and presentations and used as case studies in urban planning and waste management classes. Building design choices have important environmental impacts and also dramatically affect users' quality of life. This project will establish an analytical framework for assessing how self-sustaining, high-rise buildings that can generate much of their own electricity and recycle much of their own water can contribute to reduced material and energy use. The project will develop methods to assess under what circumstances there would be sufficient return to justify such investments in self-sufficiency. This project will improve the intellectual basis for building design and for public policymaking that influences self-sustaining building practices.This planning award will be co-managed and co-funded by CMS and SBE.
