Integrating building information modeling (BIM) and LEED system at the conceptual design stage of sustainable buildings
Designing environmentally friendly buildings that provide both high performance and cost savings is of increasing interest in the development of sustainable cities. Today, we are looking at not just buildings’ certification but sustainable practices that go beyond ratings to satisfy our social responsibilities. The construction industry in general will benefit from an integrated tool that will ...
متن کاملBuilding Affective Embodied Agents to Assist Long-Term Behavior Change: Design and Evaluation Considerations
Recent research has suggested that affective embodied agents that can effectively express simulated emotion have the potential to build and maintain long-term relationships with users. We present our experiences in this space and detail the wide array of design and evaluation issues we had to take into consideration when building an affective embodied agent that assists users with improving poo...
متن کاملIntegrated Decision Support System for Bridges at Conceptual Design Stage
Subjectivity is the main factor that affects the selection process of a bridge type at the conceptual design stage. Selecting the bridge type is generally influenced by many parameters. In most cases, these parameters are evaluated and assessed by engineers based on their own experience, knowledge and judgment. Therefore, in an attempt to provide some consistency and objectivity to the selectio...
متن کاملEmbodied Energy Versus Operational Energy . Showing The Shortcomings Of The Energy Performance Building Directive ( EPBD )
Energy is a key issue for Portugal, it is responsible for the higher part of its imports and since almost 30% of Portuguese energy is generated in power stations it is also responsible for high CO2 emissions. Between 1995 and 2005 Portuguese GNP rise 28%, however the imported energy in the same period increased 400%, from 1500 million to 5500 million dollars. As to the period between 2005 and 2...
متن کاملConcurrent Decisions on Design Concept and Material Using Analytical Hierarchy Process at the Conceptual Design Stage
There is an increased study for considering the precise decisions on the design concept (DC) and material concurrently at the early stage of development of product. Inappropriate decisions on DC and material always lead to huge cost involvement and ultimately drive toward premature component or product failure. To overcome this problem, concurrent engineering (CE) is an approach which allows de...
