"Building science is a field of knowledge that draws upon physics, chemistry, engineering, architecture, and the life sciences. Modern building science attempts to work with models of the building as a system, and to apply empirical techniques to the effective solution of design problems.”

PHYSICAL, TECHNICAL, PRACTICAL

3 DIMENSIONS OF BUIDLING SCIENCE AND ADMINISTRATION MANAGEMENT

Physical dimensions

studies physical phenomena affecting buildings and their surroundings

Physical dimensions

there is a central consideration of the roles of materials, instruments and equipment, procedures and systems

building science

is a broad discipline that is concerned with the full cycle of buildings

plan, build, use, maintain, repair and improve, learn

building lifecycle:

policy, planning, design, construction commissioning, facilities management, forensic and rehabilitation, restoration and retrofit, preservation, demolition

full life cycle of buildings

building science/ technical dimensions

is the analysis of the technical aspects of buildings that relate to indoor thermal environment, acoustics and lighting, air quality, and building resource use, including energy and building material use.

system

is an integrated assembly of interacting elements, designed to carry out cooperatively a predetermined function

practical dimensions

is to provide predictive means to optimize the building performance of new and existing building, understand or prevent building function failures.

building science

gives life to a building to enhance, complement and support the relationship between the users and the administration.

Passive Architecture

involves blending conventional architectural principles with solar & wind energy and inherent properties of building materials to ensure temperature

energy codes

designed to set minimum legal standards for the energy efficiency of new homes

sustainability

are the materials environmentally friendly, how much energy is used to heat/cool the building, is the building water efficient

comfort

can air temperature, humidity and ventilation achieve a healthy environment

ecology

is there a negative or positive impacts on habitats

acoustics

does noise generated by activities in the buildings adversely affect neighbouring building or spaces

running costs

cost to run the building? maintenance

layout

does the building optimise privacy, sunlight, views, occupant circulation

occupant satisfaction

satisfied with the overall resolution

accessibility

easy to use by people with disabilities

society

building integrate with contribute to the local community

aesthetic

may be applied to building envelope alternatives that satisfy the preceding criteria

sustainability

hygrothermal performance, along with the selection of materials and methods

environmental separation/ moderation

control of heat, air, moisture and solar radiation passively influence the quality of indoor environment

health and safety

minimum requirements for health and safety represents a necessary but insufficient condition for high performance

aesthetic, sustainability, environmental seperation/moderation, health and safety

building science hierarchy of performance requirments

thermal comfort, light, odour, sound, vibration

aesthetics

structure, fire, indoor air quality, sanitation

Health and safety

capital cost, operating cost, maintenance cost, affordability, sustainability

economy

built environment

refers to human-made conditions and is often used in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, public health, sociology and anthropology, among others.

air quality, ambient noise, climate, land use and development patterns, physical activity, public spaces, transportation

7 components of the built environment that affect human health

occupant-centric controls

it is a control strategy for the indoor environment, that specifically focuses on meeting the current needs of building occupants while decreasing energy consumption

occupant centric controls

pay a significant role in reducing global energy consumption and co2 emissions
