Architectural Intelligence - Call for Papers: Healthy, Sustainable, and Intelligent Built Environments
Call for Papers: Healthy, Sustainable, and Intelligent Built Environments (this opens in a new tab)
- General Information
The core topics of future buildings are health, low-carbon, and intelligence. As the key issue to actualize health and low-carbonization, the environmental design and operation of future buildings need to pay attention to the demands of different people under different building scenarios; meanwhile, intelligent methods are also needed to improve the health, energy efficiency, and economic performance of built environments, as well as to improve the efficiency of environmental design and operation in practice. In this thematic series, we plan to (1) explore human health and comfort demands under special building scenarios, (2) represent new models, new tools, and new methods for improving built environmental quality, and (3) demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of new technologies of built environments to be applied in practice through case studies. We hope this thematic series can provide new perspectives and new ideas about future built environments for researchers, designers, and engineers.
Papers are solicited with the topics of interest including, but are not limited to:
1. Human health and comfort under special building scenarios:
- Health and comfort demands of occupants in special built environments (such as underground spaces, transportation stations, hospitals, and more);
- Critical data collection and analysis for special built environments;
- Built-environment models for building performance optimization.
2. Novel algorithms, tools, and optimization methods for analyzing built environments:
- Intelligent methods to predict/sense built environments;
- Methods and tools for calculating and analyzing the performance of built environment systems;
- Novel ways to optimize built environments considering comfort, energy efficiency, and economy.
3. Case studies on creating built environments at design and operation stages:
- Improve built environmental quality and design efficiency using intelligent methods at the design stage;
- Improve built environment system performance and optimization efficiency using intelligent methods at the operation stage;
- Performance evaluation on novel technologies and systems for built environments in practice.
