“…In today's world, natural resources are drastically reduced, the climate is changing, the ecological environment is being destroyed, and the global environmental problems are becoming more and more serious. To improve various impacts on the earth's environment, sustainability must be paid attention to [29,30]. In the face of the grim reality, people have to re-examine and evaluate the urban development concept and value system that we are now taking as our creed.…”

“…It takes the balanced interaction between human society and the natural world as the starting point of development and takes man as a member of nature to re-understand and define the position of himself and his manufactured environment in the world [32]. Eco-architecture cannot be achieved by just a few architects, nor can it be accomplished overnight [29]. It represents the direction of the new century and is the goal that architects should strive to achieve.…”

Research on a Framework for Sustainable Campus Eco-Architecture Selection: Taking a Taiwan High School as an Example

With the advancement of human science and technology, the continuous increase in the construction and functional improvement of campus buildings and school teaching infrastructure cannot avoid adverse impacts on the overall environment. Therefore, sustainability assessments of buildings are indispensable for the sustainable development of the surrounding region. The main goal of the sustainable design of campus buildings is to reduce the depletion of key resources, such as water and energy, as well as to lower carbon emissions; this, in turn, creates a safe and effective campus environment. Comprehensive assessments of campus buildings have become critical to achieving national and regional sustainability. Therefore, this study compiles a set of building construction indicators suitable for a framework for high school campus architecture and ecological development in Taiwan, conforms these indicators to climatic characteristics, and considers an evaluation model for sustainable building concepts. This research uses the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and the Fuzzy Analysis Hierarchical Procedure Method (FAHP) to gather data using expert questionnaires. We examine three relevant factors: (1) the main factor, campus space architecture, is the most important measure of sustainable buildings; (2) the second factor is the campus ecological environment; (3) the third measure of the sustainable campus buildings is a healthy environment. The top 20 elements of the sustainable campus building evaluation index were obtained through FAHP analysis, with an overall cumulative weight value of 81.06%. This research may provide a resource allocation reference for government bodies or the construction industry, assisting them in building sustainable buildings in the future.

“…As related to the 30 behavioral solutions, these studies targeted the food sector (i.e., composting), the transportation sector (e.g., efficient driving behavior [i.e., miles per gal and tire pressure] and decreased driving [miles driven and carpooling]), and the energy sector (e.g., recycling, reusable dishware, kWh usage, thermostat use, lights off, and average device usage). There has been limited research published within those journals since Gelino and colleague's review (i.e., Atkinson et al, 2022;Newsome et al, 2021). However, this does not cover all behavior analytic sustainability research.…”

Newsome et al (2021) showed that fuel efficiency increased in proportion to the rate drivers created novel verbal rules about the digital numeric feedback display in their vehicles. They found that all participants showed improvements in fuel efficiency, but those who generated fewer novel rules also demonstrated less improvement in fuel efficiency.…”

Climate change, directly impacted by human behavior, has been investigated and evaluated across disciplines. The Six Americas was developed as a segmentation tool to communicate effectively with the United States population about climate change across a spectrum from those likely to act in opposition to climate change mitigation strategies to those actively seeking to remediate the climate change effects. Behavior analysts offer unique skills to intervene at the individual level effectively. Behavior analysts will benefit from learning about this conceptual model and its tools, particularly to inform intervention across the spectrum of the Six Americas. This paper will cover a background of the Six Americas and suggestions on how to intervene for these different segments at the individual level, followed by a brief review of the existing effective literature, particularly regarding changing behavior in the food, energy, and transportation sectors. Specifically, behavior analytic interventions will be suggested for a population concerned about climate change who may also be posed for action. Finally, we will provide suggestions to guide behavior analysts to intervene with those disengaged or actively dismissive of the threats posed by climate change.
