Towards Resilient High Performance Low-rise Office Buildings

在当前的建筑设计实践中，预测和实际能源性能之间存在性能差距是很常见的;特别是对于高性能建筑，其中预测的低能耗易受实际变化的操作条件的影响，在许多情况下，实际操作条件是随机的。事实上，性能差距主要是由于建筑设计和模拟模型中的确定性假设。弹性建筑物在不同条件下根据其预期设计发挥作用。实现弹性建筑的主要障碍是缺乏性能差距的量化方法，以及相应的评估方法来确定弹性建筑设计解决方案。低层办公建筑因其在郊区的突出存在而被研究其显著的节能潜力。

Under the current building design practice, it is quite common to have a performance gap between the predicted and actual energy performance; particularly for high performance buildings, in which the predicted low energy consumption is susceptible to actual varying operating conditions, which in many cases, are stochastic in nature. In fact, the performance gap is mainly due to the deterministic assumptions made in both the building design and simulation model. A resilient building performs according to its intended design under varying conditions. The main obstacle in achieving a resilient building is the lack of quantification method of the performance gap, and the corresponding evaluation approach to identify resilient building design solutions. Low-rise office buildings are studied for their significant energy saving potential due to their prominent presence in suburban areas.
