Sustainable High-Rise Buildings: Toward Resilient Built Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article examines outstanding “sustainable” skyscrapers that received international recognition, including LEED certification. It identifies vital green features in each building and summarizes the prominent elements for informing future projects. Overall, this research is significant because, given mega-scale of skyscrapers, any improvement their design, engineering, construction will have mega impacts major savings (e.g., structural materials, potable water, energy, etc.). Therefore, extracted design elements, principles, recommendations from reviewed case studies are substantial. Further, debates controversial such as wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, glass skin, roofs, aerodynamic forms, mixed-use schemes. Finally, it discusses greenwashing impact COVID-19 on sustainable design.

متن کاملRealising a resilient and sustainable built environment: towards a strategic agenda for the United Kingdom.
Recent natural and human-induced emergencies have highlighted the vulnerability of the built environment. Although most emergency events are not entirely unexpected, and the effects can be mitigated, emergency managers in the United Kingdom have not played a sufficiently proactive role in the mitigation of such events. If a resilient and sustainable built environment is to be achieved, emergenc...

“Given the high land values in central business sections of our leading cities, the skyscraper is not only the most efficient, but the only economic utilization of certain strategic plots. An exhaustive investigation... has conclusively demonstrated that the factors making for diminishing returns in the intensive development of such plots are more than offset by the factors making for increasin...
متن کاملCOST ESTIMATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE (HPC) HIGH- RISE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS BY NEURAL NETWORKS High-rise commercial buildings
Neural network approach is applied to establish relationships between the quantities/cost of the concrete/formwork, which is required for the structural elements of tall buildings using high performance concrete (HPC), and the design variables. Hybrid and hierarchical strategies are proposed for the cost estimation, where the feed-forward networks are adopted. After training, the neural network...
متن کاملSustainable Mobility: Longitudinal Analysis of Built Environment on Transit Ridership
Given the concerns about urban mobility, traffic congestion, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, extensive research has explored the relationship between the built environment and transit ridership. However, the nature of aggregation and the cross-sectional approach of the research rarely provide essential clues on the potential of a transit system as a sustainable mobility option. From the per...
