Program 2
Resilience of building systems and design
Leaders:
A/Prof. Pejman Sharafi
Prof. Bo Xia
OBJECTIVES
​
-
Program 2 will provide profound knowledge and techniques of designing buildings as a whole ecosystem, while implementing resilience components.
​
-
Program 2 will address the gaps in current building planning, design, and development for resilience.
​
-
This Stream will focus on those aspects related to affecting the net zero building construction platforms and embodied energy and emissions.
​
​
​
​
DESCRIPTION
​
-
These resilience elements covered in this Stream are protection by adaptable/future-proofed designs, considering the factors for multi-hazard assessments (climate change, Earthquake, fire), BIM based LCA, and sustainable materials utilisation.
​
-
The resilient design principles are diverse spanning from developing various systems and passive solutions to designing buildings that will last longer and using reclaimed resources.
​
​
​
​
ADVANTAGES
​
-
Resilience is a critical pillar to support the net zero carbon target.
​
-
The successful implementation of Program 2 will develop knowledge and enhance skills for more circular and eco-adaptive building construction solution by integrating resilient solutions into decision making processes
