Evaluating Integrated Design Process of High-Performance Green Buildings
High-Performance Green (HPG) buildings are designed through an approach called Integrated Design Process (IDP). The approach emphasizes early collaboration of downstream stakeholders in upstream decision-making and consideration of interactions among various building systems (mechanical, electrical, etc.) by including the representatives of various disciplines in design team early on through th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Seismic Performance of Combined Horizontal and Vertical Hexagrid Structural System for High-rise Buildings
Summary In this study, the seismic performance of hexagrid structures which are composed of horizontal and vertical hexagrid by using a transitional story, has been investigated. To this end, 10 models of 50-story hexagrid structures were designed. 9 models with horizontal hexagrid cells which transited to vertical cells using a transitional story, and a model of completely horizontal hexagrid ...

متن کاملGreen Buildings in Singapore; Analyzing a Frontrunner’s Sectoral Innovation System
The building sector in Singapore consumes up to half of the nation’s total energy. The government has therefore been urging the transformation of the industry by targeting 80% of all buildings to be green-certified by 2030. Thus far, Singapore has done relatively well, and is widely viewed as frontrunner in this respect. This paper addresses the question: what are the benefits and limitations o...
متن کاملEnergy saving performance of green vegetation on LEED certified buildings
Sustainable building practices can considerably reduce building’s environmental impact in energy consumption. Covering a building envelope with green vegetation, such as green roof and green wall, is considered a sustainable construction practice, as green vegetation has a positive performance in energy savings. It reduces heat flux and solar reflectivity, generates evaporative cooling, increas...
