“…The second research area is architectural design. This field is concerned with the integration of renewable energy systems into buildings ( [22,23]) and the influence of building form on energy use [24]. Designing buildings to minimize operational energy demands (i.e., heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, electricity) is covered under the third category: operational systems.…”

“…An extensive body of research is concerned with environmental impacts (e.g., energy use, greenhouse gas emissions) and the built environment. Research on energy use and the built environment, however, was found (6) to focus on either the individual building level (7)(8)(9)(10) or the larger urban level (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). At the urban scale, research is concerned with the general topic of transportation.…”

The built environment, accounting for the building and transportation sectors, is the dominant source of environmental impacts. While significant research has assessed environmental impacts in the built environment, existing research is strongly separated by the scale of analysis: individual buildings or the urban scale. However, assessing buildings as isolated objects ignores their urban context, while concentrating on urban-scale projects does not represent the actual scale of construction: growth within existing cities. As such, environmental impacts resulting from the interplay of individual buildings and their urban context, induced impacts, have yet to be determined. This paper presents a new methodology for capturing induced impacts in the built environment. The new methodology was applied to the urban region of Munich, Germany, at three geographical resolutions (traffic cell, city neighborhood, and district) to illustrate the significance of induced impacts. The research contributes to the literature through the integration of the assessment of the transportation infrastructure in addition to the traditional focus on operational impacts. Transportation embodied impacts were found to account for approximately 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, transportation impacts (embodied and operational) were summarized at three locations: city center, city periphery, and rural. Consequently, the work has identified a missing impact category, expanded the assessment methodology, and provided quantitative analysis for holistic evaluation of the built environment. The inclusion of induced impacts allows for innovative policies to achieve environmental goals within the built environment.

“…[5]; Sharma and Richards [6]; James et al [7]; Joachim et al [8]) have shown that wind pressure in a building can be affected by partial opening, and there are not many works on wind-induced response of high-rise buildings with partial opening. In recent years, the use of wind power (Bayoumi et al [9]; Lu and Sun [10]) has become as one of the most interesting research topics. For example, Li et al [11] discussed the results obtained from a comb ined wind tunnel and full-scale study of wind effects on super tall buildings.…”

Abstract-The paper discusses the wind pressure distributions on high-rice buildings with partial openings by means of wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations. The wind tunnel tests were carried out in the boundary layer wind tunnel over an urban terrain with a geometric scale. The numerical simulations used the method of S IMPLEC algorithm and the turbulence model, in which a realizable κ-ε model was used to simulate the pressure coefficient and the wind environment surrounding the partial openings. Detailed analyses of wind pressure coefficients for buildings of three different opening cases are presented. The results show that the pressure coefficients are different on the two sides of the opening and the distribution of wind velocity surrounding the opening is remarkably affected by the opening size. Moreover, the wind speed reaches the maximum in the opening when the wind direction is 45°. This suggests that there is a potential to utilize the wind energy by placing wind turbines in the partial opening of the high-rise buildings.
