CAREER: Green Engineering of Urban Areas

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。0847054克莱斯虽然人造草坪，反射屋顶涂料和城市森林等绿色工程措施已被证明有利于保护单个建筑物的资源，但缺乏物理过程水平的城市气象和工程系统的整体建模。 基于流体力学，传热和无线嵌入式系统的工程工具，这项研究将改善这些过程的联系，并量化间接影响，以促进智能增长和可持续城市工程。 研究结果旨在为支持经济和公共决策的工程和优化工具提供科学依据。 从建筑尺度，到邻里和城市尺度的多尺度建模将被进行。 在建筑物和邻里尺度上，城市冠层与大气之间的热量和动量交换的模拟进展，以及大气稳定度对城市环境中的扩散的影响，是由于这项研究。 该教育计划将包括与圣地亚哥县的K-12环境科学教师和环境俱乐部的合作。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).0847054KleisslWhile green engineering measures such as artificial turf, reflective roof coatings, and urban forests have proven advantageous in conserving resources in individual buildings, holistic modeling of urban meteorology and engineered systems at the physical process level is lacking. Building upon engineering tools from fluid mechanics, heat transfer and wireless embedded systems, this research will improve the linkage of these processes and quantify indirect effects to catalyze smart growth and sustainable urban engineering. The results are targeted to provide a scientific basis for engineering and optimization tools that support economic and public decision making. Multi-scale modeling from the building scale, to the neighborhood and city scale will be conducted. On the building and neighborhood scale, advances in modeling the heat and momentum exchange between urban canopy and atmosphere, and the effect of atmospheric stability on dispersion in urban environments are to result from this research. The educational program will include collaboration with K-12 environmental science teachers and environmental clubs across San Diego County.
