Environment and Architecture Historic Overview Traditional architecture: protective, resists external impacts, small windows (15%) Modernist architecture: large windows 80%, insufficient construction technology, large energy consumption, bad indoor climate 1980s: counter-balancing bad indoor climate with cooling and heating Sequential Architectural Design Process design disciplines do their job one after the other 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 6
Environment and Architecture Historic Overview 1973-74 energy crisis: energy over-consumption becomes an issue Building energy research: study and simulation of energy currents through the building envelope Sustainability becomes an issue Simultaneous Architectural Design Process activities of design disciplines overlap to optimize efficiency and save time 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 7

Ecological Architecture - Principles Energy: maximize efficiency, conserve fossil, use renewable Air: healthy indoor air quality, reduce CO2- equivalent emission Building Materials: recycle, reuse Earth: minimize land use, utilize local resources Waste Management: consciously Water: avoid pollution Water Management: conserve drinking water, use rain or grey water Fire: utilize solar energy 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 16

Consumption And Emission Metrics Primary energy consumption locally relevant factors enable the conversion of all end-use energy quantities to primary energy so that they can be summarized Equivalent CO2 emission converts the effects of emitted greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, CO, NMVOC, NOx. N2O) to the equivalent amount of CO2 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 23

CO2-Equivalent Emission vs. Natural Absorbers To ensure the healthy balance of the environment, emission must be reduced to meet the capacity of natural absorbers E.g. Present situation in Hungary: CO2-Equivalent Emission= ~6 tons/capita, a capacity of natural absorbers= ~2.5 tons/capita, a 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 25
CO2-Equivalent Emission Capacity of Natural Absorbers E.g. On a sunny summer day, a 100 years old oak tree produces 9.4 m3 oxygen clarifies 36000 m3 air This is enough for 12 grown up persons for a day 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 26

Economical Aspects of Sustainability 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 29
Rationalize Costs And Expenses Consider Whole Life Cost Evaluate return of investment on components Minimize traffic and transportation think local Minimize consumption: material, drinking water and energy 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 30
Payback Calculation A typical office building costs about three times its initial cost to operate and maintain over 30 years Carefully implemented sustainable design only costs 2% more to build but may pay back the original investment 10 times over Reduced energy consumption due to strategic green investments has a stronger effect on the LCC than the original investment If the team members involved know what they are doing, you can go pretty far down the path of creating a green building without adding extra costs at all. Environmental Building News editor Nadav Malin 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 31
Life Cycle Analysis Energy calculations and cost simulations can be used concurrently to ensure that energy-conservation and capital goals are met Whole Life Cost = Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Construction Operation Maintenance End of life + Profit 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 32
Government Incentives Green constructions typically only become profitable after a long time Project-related costs do not include national consequences (exploitation of resources, pollution etc.) To offset the extra initial investments, governments should support green construction, on national level. 2/26/13 Building Constructions 7 - Lecturer: Miklós Svéd 33
