I/UCRC Phase I: Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites

可持续综合建筑与场地中心(SIBS)1161031；罗伯特·考克斯1161017卡内基梅隆大学；Volker Hartkopf 1160872 CUNY城市学院；罗伯特·帕斯韦尔可持续综合建筑与场地中心(SIBS)将把一组不同的利益攸关方(即建筑物所有者和运营商、组件制造商、设计师、公用事业提供商等)聚集在一起。制定一项研究议程，重点是建筑物与其环境之间的相互作用。这是一种涉及几种资源流动(即能源、水、材料和空气)的相互作用，并以影响个别建筑和整个社区的规模发生。卡内基梅隆大学和纽约州立大学城市学院正在合作建立拟议的中心，北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校(UNCC)是牵头机构。这一规划项目的主要目标是与有兴趣创造更可持续的建筑环境的各种行业伙伴和政府/非政府机构建立正式伙伴关系。拟议的IUCRC的研究主题旨在满足行业需要，以满足监管和公众对尽量减少原始材料使用、水使用、不可再生能源使用和废物产生的需求，以及保护支持人类生命的自然系统的社会需要。拟议的中心将是多学科性质的，独立于任何一个系、学校或学院。SIB计划利用北卡罗来纳州、纽约和宾夕法尼亚州的技术商业化办公室和企业孵化器提供的机会和资金。更广泛的影响包括加强建筑业的研发和技术转让基础设施，在一个可能在未来几十年增长的领域进行学生培训(包括少数族裔学生)，以及通过针对成员公司员工的年度教育和外展计划进行劳动力培训。此外，通过潜在的剥离公司和增加现有公司的收入，预计将产生长期的经济影响。拟议中的中心有一个广泛而深入的教育和外联计划，包括所有项目的研究生和本科生研究人员。此外，私人投资者计划利用各种机制向从业者和学生传播SIBS研究成果。

I/UCRC for Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites (SIBS) 1161031 University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Robert Cox 1161017 Carnegie Mellon University; Volker Hartkopf 1160872 CUNY City College; Robert Paaswell The Center for Sustainably Integrated Buildings and Sites (SIBS) would bring together a disparate set of stakeholders (i.e. building owners and operators, component manufacturers, designers, utility providers, etc.) to develop a research agenda focused on the interaction between buildings and their environment. This is an interaction that involves several resource flows (i.e. energy, water, materials, and air) and occurs at scales that affect individual buildings and the community at large. Carnegie Mellon University and the CUNY City College are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) as the lead institution. The primary goal of this planning project is to initiate formal partnership with various industry partners and government/non-governmental agencies that have an interest in creating a more sustainable built environment. The research themes at the proposed IUCRC are aimed at the industry need to respond to regulatory and public demands for minimizing virgin material use, water use, non-renewable energy use, and waste generation, and also at the societal need to protect the natural systems that support human life. The proposed Center will be multi-disciplinary in nature and independent of any one department, school or college. SIBS plans to leverage opportunities and funding from technology commercialization offices and business incubators in North Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Broader Impact includes the enhancement of R&D and technology transfer infrastructure for the buildings industry, student training (including minority students) in an area that is likely to grow over the next several decades, and workforce training through an annual education and outreach programs for member company employees. Additionally, long term economic impact is expected through potential spin-off companies and increased revenue for existing companies. The proposed center has a broad and deep education and outreach program that includes graduate and undergraduate researchers on all projects. In addition, the PIs intend to use various mechanisms to disseminate SIBS research results to practitioners and students.
