Concept to Completion Design Tools for Sustainable Buildings

在为期两年的项目中，HBXL将为中小型企业提供一个简单易用的综合工具，从最初的概念和可行性到英国低影响建筑的详细设计。该系统将基于供应商的实时产品数据。该工具集将在2D/3D照片逼真环境中提供具有碳影响的资本和整个生命周期成本的实时反馈，以向所有利益相关者传达早期设计选项，并鼓励创新和敏感性分析。施工队和建筑用户可以通过CAD界面访问生成的数据，通过HBXL新的在线数据和项目管理服务提供JIT施工数据、产品特性和建筑用户信息。模块将允许产品和组件供应商上传和共享其系统的CAD图纸，以便拖放到设计中，并完成所有成本和碳数据，以便纳入自动成本和碳影响评估。这些目标将在评估英国和海外的业务守则和其他标准的研究之后实现，以制定HBXL程序员的规范。进一步研究将调查供应链中所有商业部门以标准格式提供环境和技术数据以便纳入设计的能力，并就所需数据的格式和范围提出建议。其他研究将确定3D游戏技术，以协助拟议设计的设计呈现和环境行为，并审查新兴的移动计算技术，以实现即时访问。

Over the 2 year project HBXL will provide an easy to use integrated tool for SMEs to design buildings from initial concepts and feasibility through detailed design for low impact buildings in the UK. The system will be based on live product data from suppliers. The toolset will provide realtime feedback of the capital and whole life costs with carbon impacts in a 2D/3D photo realistic environment to communicate early stage design options to all stakeholders and encourage innovation and sensitivity analysis. The resulting data will be accessible by the construction team and building users via the CAD interface to provide JIT construction data, product characteristics and building user information via HBXL's new on-line data and project management services. Modules will allow suppliers of products and assemblies to upload and share their CAD drawings of their systems for drag and drop incorporation into designs, complete with all cost and carbon data for inclusion into the automated cost and carbon impact assessments. These objectives will be achieved following research to assess code of practice and other standards in the UK and abroad to devise specifications for HBXL programmers. Further research will investigate the ability for all business sectors in the supply chain to provide environmental and technical data in a standard format for integration into the designs and provide recommendations of the format and scope of the required data. Additional research will identify 3D gaming technologies to assist in design presentation and environmental behaviour of the proposed design together with a review of emerging mobile computing technologies for instant accessibility.
