Workshop on the Architecture and Engineering of Sustainable Buildings

拟议的项目将主办一次讲习班，让美国和土耳其的可持续建筑领域的专家讨论和建议该领域的最佳做法。工作坊将促进建筑业研究人员和专业人士就可持续建筑设计和建造方面的最新信息和最新实践进行交流，讨论的主题包括各种建筑概念，如建筑设计、建造和运营中的材料、水和能源使用。该提案还很好地强调了在处理可持续设计问题时的文化差异。本次研讨会将汇集近100名受邀参与者和更多来自其他国家的参与者。讲习班的规模足够大，包括许多领域的专家(24名主旨演讲者和24名讨论负责人)和相当数量的年轻、多样化的与会者(24名学生)。专为年轻与会者设计的海报会议为小组中的资深与会者提供了一个很好的互动机会。这两个在技术开发和建筑设计方面有着悠久历史的社区/国家(美国和土耳其)将为两国的研究人员和实践者提供一个交流思想的良好场所。预计研讨会将为未来的研究合作带来全球影响和机会。此外，研讨会将为与会者提供机会，讨论和建议可能有助于政府和其他有关方面执行任务的政策和做法。其成果可能有助于当局制定可持续建筑设计的规范和指导方针，并促进保护我们的自然环境的未来，同时为各自社区的公民提供安全和舒适的建筑环境。计划中的研讨会将由美国国家科学基金会(NSF)和土耳其科学技术研究理事会联合赞助。OISE将共同资助这一项目，金额为2.5万美元。

The proposed project will host a workshop to bring the experts in the area of sustainable buildings from both United States and Turkey to discuss and recommend best practices in the field. The workshop will facilitate exchange of the latest information and state-of-the-art practices on sustainablebuildings design and construction among researchers and professionals in the building industry.The discussion topics include a variety of concepts in architecture such as materials, water, and energy use in building design, construction and operation. The proposal also has a good emphasis on cultural difference in approaching sustainable design problem.This workshop will assemble almost 100 invited participants and more attendees from other countries. The scale of the workshop is large enough to include a great number of experts (24 keynote speakers and 24 discussion leaders) in the areas and a significant number of young diverse attendees (24 students). The poster session designed specifically for young attendees to provide a good opportunity to interact with senior attendees in the group.The two communities/countries (US and Turkey) with long histories of technology development and architecture design will provide a good venue for exchange ideas for researchers and practitioners from both countries. It is expected that the workshop will bring global impacts and opportunity for future research collaboration.Further, the workshop will offer an opportunity for the participants to discuss and recommend policies and practices that may assist governments and other interested parties in carrying out their tasks. The outcomes may help the authorities to establish codes and guidelines for sustainablebuilding design and facilitate safeguarding the future of our natural environment while providing a safe and comfortable built environment for the citizens of their respective communities. The planned workshop will be jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and theScientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBÝTAK). The OISE will co fund this project in the amount of $25K.
