In this paper, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to evaluate product design element concept during conceptual design stage by providing a weight age of sustainability metrics throughout the total life-cycle of product and finalize the preferred product design configuration by selecting the ...
To research on a large spatial cast-steel joint, the nonlinear finite element analysis compared with the experiment results are carried out by ANSYS Workbe... QJ Chen,J Cai,GQ Su,... - 2009年土木工程结构创新与可持续发展国际会议(The International Symposium on Innovation & Sustainability of Str...
this concern goes beyond the choice of specificconstruction systemsorinnovative materials; it also manifests in the design approach that ensures the preservation of the site's natural elements. In this context, we present 15 homes designed to protect local trees, showcasing how architectural decisions...
But this is an element that is of vital importance, as it acts as a barrier to the flow of heat, hindering the exchange of energy between the interior and the exterior, reducing the amount of heat that escapes in winter and the thermal energy that enters in the summer. In a building ...
Goal 08 has two elements – decent work and economic growth, with the decent work element focusing on things such as: Eliminating modern slavery and child labour. Ensuring full and productive employment and decent work for everyone, including those with disabilities – visible or invisible...
This interdependence is such that each element of the system may need the support of other elements to function optimally (Lai and Huili Lin 2017). Thus, according to STO, an interdependence of the distinct components of the system is highly feasible, which may be articulated by means of ...
Smart cities are broad in concept and definition. Among the broad approaches to defining smart cities, here this chapter stresses that technology, in particular, information and communication technology (ICT), is a core element in current smart city practices. The term “smart cities” did not ...
Table 1.Grey–green–blue infrastructure types used in design concept *. Traffic zones in the built-up areas are an important element that drastically changes the quality of the urban environment. The use of high albedo materials for pavements and implementation of a permeable structure have been...
However, the same research has also pointed out that this strategic element of the policy mix on its own is not sufficient to change companies’ innovation strategies but needs to be operationalized through concrete policy instruments. 3.1.2. Instruments As the second element in the policy mix, ...
made the concept of sustainable development a regulatory idea of international policy: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (UN,1987, para.1). In other words, the ...
