Climate Responsive Building Design

面对气候紧急情况，迫切需要为世界各地的设计团队开发简单的咨询工具，以鼓励做出适当的决策，以应对与气候变化有关的建筑的建设、维护、运营和终止使用的影响：能源、碳、水和生物多样性。本博士学位将侧重于制定适应不同气候区域的战略决策等级，以确定设计和运行决策与阳光、温度、空气运动、湿度、雨雪的季节和日变化相关的相对影响。多方法方法将包括：a)针对相关建筑设计利益攸关方的问卷调查，b)建筑性能建模，以及c)多标准决策分析讲习班，以支持咨询工具的开发。建筑性能建模将包括使用案例研究和建筑原型。工作的目的是通过设计和建筑运营过程提供决策的相关性和时机的指导，以解决关键问题，目的是向建筑客户、设计团队和用户告知在其所在位置影响和受这些影响的最重要因素。这项工作还将确定共同的设计方法，以适应气候类别的各个方面(例如，高朋气候分类)，这些方面独立于国家边界，并跨越国界。

In the face of the climate emergency there is an imperative to develop simple advisory tools for design teams across the world to encourage appropriate decision making to address impacts of the construction, maintenance, operation, and end of use of buildings relating to climate change: energy, carbon, water and biodiversity. This PhD will focus on developing hierarchies of strategic decision making to suit different climatic zones, to identify the relative impacts of design and operational decisions in relation to seasonal and diurnal variations in sunlight; temperature; air movement; humidity rain and snow. The multi method approach will include: a) questionnaires aimed at relevant building design stakeholders, b) building performance modelling, and c) multi criteria decision making analysis (MCDA) workshops to support the development of the advisory tools. The building performance modelling will include use of both case studies and building archetypes.The work will aim to provide guidance on the relevance and timing of decision making through the design and building operation process to address the key issues, with the aim of informing building clients, design teams, and users of the most important factors affecting, and affected by, these impacts in their location. The work will also identify common design approaches to suit aspects of climate categories (eg the Koppen Climate categorisation) which are independent of, and cross, country boundaries.
