Urban Climate and Energy System Resilience and Adaptability

该项目旨在探索城市规模的能源和气候之间的相互作用，找到早期设计解决方案，以提高弹性和适应性。英国的能源系统和气候正在迅速变化，需要密集的城市环境在未来几十年迅速演变。恢复力是对系统变化或冲击做出反应、应对并迅速恢复的能力，而适应能力则与应对新因素变化的能力有关。从能源和气候的角度来看，我们迫切需要提高建筑环境的适应能力和适应能力。从能源背景下的技术选择中产生的适应能力和适应能力可以通过干预措施嵌入到我们的城市中，例如更好的建筑设计、基于自然的解决方案的整合、促进行为变化、智能计量和控制、整体系统思维，以及新能源发电和储存技术的使用。建筑在更广泛的能源系统中发挥着关键作用，作为我们国家净零脱碳战略的重要组成部分，并有助于地方、地区和国家能源系统的弹性。本项目将探索这些干预措施在现实世界建筑和城市设计应用中的相互作用和整合，重点放在早期设计阶段。

The project aims to explore the interactions between energy and climate at the urban scale, to find early stage design solutions which will increase resilience and adaptability.Energy systems and the climate are changing rapidly in the UK, requiring dense urban environments to evolve quickly over the coming decades. Resilience is the ability to respond to, cope with, and recover quickly from system change or shocks - whilst adaptability relates to the capability to change in response to new factors. Increased resilience and adaptability are both urgently needed in our built environment from an energy and climate perspective.Adaptability and resilience emerge from technology choice in the context of energy can be embedded in our cities through interventions such as better building design, integration of nature-based solutions, promoting behavioural change, smart metering and control, holistic systems-thinking, and utilisation of new energy generation and storage technologies. Buildings have a key role to play in the wider energy system as an essential component in our national decarbonisation strategy towards net zero, and in contributing to the resilience of local, regional, and national energy system.This project will explore the interactions and integration of these interventions in real-world building and urban design applications, focusing on early-design stages.
