“…Studies have indicated that cities' carbon dioxide emissions account for 80% of the global total [3], and the energy OPEN ACCESS consumed by the building industry globally accounts for 40% of total energy consumption [4]. Therefore, when faced with rapid urbanization and attendant environmental change, governments and educators in various countries will likely devote increased attention to engaging in greener development [5].…”

Abstract:To improve education regarding sustainability and green buildings, we designed a multiplayer (2-4 people) green building strategy game called GBGame to deliver knowledge of and introduce applied technologies for green buildings. To verify the game's learning effect, we conducted separate measurements using the ARCS motivation model and a paper-based exam among 72 students majoring in architecture. These students were divided into an experimental group (who played the game) and a control group (who underwent lecture-based instruction). Results indicate that (1) game players had stronger learning motivation than those who attended the lectures; (2) players who learned through the game generally exhibited better learning effectiveness than non-players; (3) following cross-validation, we discovered a highly significant correlation between the learning effect and players' attention, perception of relevance, confidence, and satisfaction during the game; and (4) the game system was found to be attractive to the students, implying that it can be an effective instructional and recreational material to use during green building education.

This article discusses the potential of introducing sustainability in the architectural design method so that building solutions can contribute to sustainable development. Sustainability has introduced a new pattern to the architecture practice, which involves important modifications in the teaching of architecture in what regards to the design methods to students but also practitioners, in order to provide more comfort for present and future generations. In the design phases of the architectural design, the subject of the three pillars of sustainability—economic, social and environmental factors—are not always considered by the architect in the decision-making process. The topic involves actions that will influence the overall performance of the building throughout its lifecycle. Sustainability has not been a priority in the training of the architect. The existing tools, Sustainability Assessment and Certification Systems, although adequate to evaluate the sustainability component of a building, do not prove to be the most appropriate tool to support architects during the design process. Therefore, the implementation and evaluation of strategies that integrate the sustainability principles need to be included in the early stages of the architectural design method. In addition to collecting data through literature review, a survey was conducted among 217 architects and architecture students in order to access the need for a tool that supports architects in the issue of sustainability. The results concluded that, although all the respondents agree about what concerns the implementation of sustainability principles in the architectural design method, only few respondents guarantee that these principles are implemented by means of a rigorous evaluation. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to identify a set of guidelines that can help architects to change the current approach of architectural practice towards more sustainable strategies in building design. This means the introduction, implementation and evaluation of sustainability principles in different phases of the architectural design method. The proposal stresses the main strategies that need to be considered in each phase of the architectural project and defines a level of recommendation in each guideline that allows the architect to evaluate the implementation of sustainability.

“…Nevertheless, Hook Han and Sook Kim investigated architectural professionals' needs and preferences with regard to sustainable building guidelines and they identified that an urgent demand consist on the commitment of providing "education on the significance of sustainable buildings and promote a better understanding of sustainable principles" and "comprehensive and detailed information on sustainable building design strategies and technologies" [42].…”

“…According to this extended research of Hook Han and Sook Kim [42], it is revealed that the building energy efficiency problem is entrapped to a complex network of sustainable building guidelines assortments. Furthermore, architects and building professionals do not manage to correctly figure out how they should apply these guidelines, since they do not apprehend the real nature of the problem and they just try to blindly fulfill requirements in order to deal with a physical problem with specific characteristics without understanding the physics beyond.…”

Urban agriculture is becoming a timely environmental friendly practice to strengthen cities’ resilience to climate change. However, there is a lack of academic literature regarding the thermodynamic potential of interior urban agriculture. Furthermore, there is always a need to develop, from scratch, an updated methodological approach that aims to assist architects of conceiving such specific thermodynamically complex interior environments. In this paper, urban space is identified as a ‘flow system’, and Bejan’s constructal law of generation of flow structure is used to morph and discover the system flow architecture that offers greater global performance (greater access to what flows). More precisely, a macroscale thermodynamic model of spherical urban greenhouse form with double thermal envelope has been developed while the methodological approach resulted in the definition of a decisional flowchart that can be reproduced by other researchers. On the basis of this macroscale constructal model, the present paper proposes reduced models that link thermodynamic and geometric parameters in an accurate manner and can be used at early design stages for pedagogic and qualitative optimization purposes, integrating urban farming to architectural programming.
