Naslov: Pristop BIM za metode trajnostnega načrtovanja: od bioklimatskega do regenerativnega načrtovanja Tip dokumenta: Magistrska naloga Naslov in oprema: 221 strani, 323 slik, 45 preglednic, 1 dodatek Ključne besede: regenerativno načrtovanje in razvoj, informacijsko modeliranje zgradb, informacijske zahteve, algoritmično načrtovanje, vseživljenjski stroški, odziv stavb, simulacije, dnevna svetloba Izvleček: Različne metode trajnostnega načrtovanja, okviri in sistemi ocenjevanja trajnostne gradnje so bili razviti že od prve opredelitve poročila o trajnostnem razvoju - Brundtland. Bioklimatski pristop k arhitekturnemu načrtovanju lahko najdemo v vernakularni arhitekturi in je bil formalno predlagan v vrsti raziskovalnih in strokovnih publikacij od petdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja dalje. Bioklimatski pristop označuje skupek načrtovalskih strategij, ki temeljijo na lokalni klimi, uporabi naravnih virov in energetskih tokov s ciljem, da se zagotovijo fiziološke in psihološke potrebe po zdravju in udobju ljudi. Podnebne spremembe, linearna ekonomija in velik vpliv grajenega okolja na planet zahtevajo takojšnjo preobrazbo, da bi dosegli podnebne cilje OZN in IPCC SR1.5°C. Ta študija podaja pregled metod trajnostnega oblikovanja v povezavi s krožnim gospodarstvom in novo paradigmo projektiranja in gradnje grajenega okolja s pomočjo informacijskega modeliranja zgradb. Regenerativno načrtovanje nudi odmik od sedanje prakse in se osredotoča na zmanjšanje vplivov na okolje in povečanje učinkovitosti, s ciljem zasnovati stavbe in mesta, ki so regenerativni, brez škodljivih vplivov na okolje, vendar obnavljajo ekosisteme, kar omogoča človeku in naravnim sistemom, da se razvijajo hkrati. Predlagan je okvir regenerativnega načrtovanja, ki temelji na celostnem pristopu z orodji za digitalno načrtovanje. Pristop je prikazan na študiji primera večjega objekta v Ljubljani. Na testni študiji se uporabljajo in navzkrižno preverijo najsodobnejši integrirani delotoki projektiranja, orodja in metrike BIM. Raziskava prispeva k lažji izbiri metod, orodij in informacijskih zahtev za naročnika in projektno skupino, in temelji na skupini standardov za BIM - ISO 19650, regenerativnem razvoju in načrtovanju.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC– DOCUMENTALISTIC INFORMATION AND ABSTRACT UDC: 624.03:69.01(4)(043.3) Author: Arlind DERVISHAJ, M.Sc. Arch. Supervisor: Ass. Prof. Tomo CEROVŠEK, PhD. Co-supervisor: Branka TREBUŠAK, M.Sc. Civ. Eng. Title: BIM approached Sustainable Design Methods: From Bioclimatic to Regenerative Design Document type: Master thesis: Bologna Process Level II Master Dissertation Scope and tools: 221 pages, 323 figures, 45 tables, 1 appendix Keywords: regenerative design and development, building information modelling (BIM), information requirements, computational design, life cycle assessment (LCA), building performance simulations, daylighting Abstract: Different Sustainable Design methods, frameworks and green building rating systems have been developed since the first definition of Sustainable Development of the Brundtland report. Bioclimatic approach to architectural design can be found in vernacular architecture and was proposed formally in a series of research and professional publications since the 1950s. The bioclimatic approach is about making design strategies based on the local climate, utilizing natural resources and energy flows to provide for physiological and psychological needs for human health and comfort. Climate Change, a Linear Economy and the high impact of the built environment on the planet require an immediate transformation to achieve the UN SDGs and IPCC SR1.5°C climate goals. This study makes a review of Sustainable Design Methods, with links to a Circular Economy, and the new paradigm for the design and construction of the built environment with Building Information Modelling. Regenerative Design holds the promise for shifting from the current practice focused on reducing environmental impacts and increasing efficiency towards designing buildings and cities that are regenerative, climate neutral, restore ecosystems, allowing human and natural systems to co-evolve. A Regenerative Design framework is proposed based on a holistic approach with digital design tools. State of the art BIM integrated workflows, tools and metrics are used and cross-checked on a case study for Ljubljana. The research is a contribution to the selection of methods, KPIs and Information Requirements from the Client- side and for the project team based on ISO 19650 series for Regenerative Design and Development.

  • Putting Regenerative Development Into Action: Understanding the Decision Making Process of a 680 Hectare Regenerative Project
    World Sustainable Built Environment Conference 2017 Hong Kong Track 10: Place-making & Community Empowerment Putting Regenerative Development into Action: Understanding the Decision Making Process of a 680 Hectare Regenerative Project Dominique HESa, André STEPHANb, Sareh MOOSAVIc a The University of Melbourne, Australia, [email protected] b The University of Melbourne, Australia, [email protected] c The University of Melbourne, Australia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The built environment is responsible for significant environmental impacts. It is therefore a central research area to balance ecological and built systems and allow them both to thrive. While the majority of previous and existing attempts have targeted minimising environmental impacts, regenerative development goes beyond reduction and aims to restore and support environmental, social and economic flows. Yet, very few projects to date have been able to demonstrate a regenerative outcome. This is because few consulting firms currently offer regenerative design thinking, which is in turn linked to a lack of understanding of processes that support decision making in regenerative development projects. This paper uses a 680 hectares regenerative development project in Gippsland, South East Australia as a case study to investigate how implementing a regenerative development approach from the onset affects the decision-making process. A series of workshops were facilitated by the authors with the local community, indigenous elders, design experts, academics, scientists, government and industry partners and other stakeholders. An online survey consisting of 10 questions was sent to the 40 actors involved and 28 responses were collected (N = 28 and a response rate of 70%). This study provides a contribution to the understanding of both the processes that can support the implementation of innovative regenerative concepts in the built environment and their benefits.

  • Regenerative System Design: Application in the Georgia
    REGENERATIVE SYSTEM DESIGN: APPLICATION IN THE GEORGIA PIEDMONT by ANDREW KILINSKI (Under the Direction of Jon Calabria) ABSTRACT In the southeast, our built environment will benefit from the productive and functional ecological systems needed to address impacts on natural systems to support forthcoming population growth, energy, and food production demands. Through precedent study analysis, interpretation, and current regenerative rating systems evaluation, regenerative design principles are applied to a ten-acre urban site in Athens, Georgia, to show how a systems-based design can restore ecological function within the built environment, while meeting energy and food production demands. The design application reveals the components critical to regenerative design, and illustrates how they are applied to a conceptual site design; it may also be utilized as a template for laypersons, landscape architects, or other design professionals interested in regenerative design for urban areas in the built environment.

  • Towards Regenerative Architecture: Material Effectiveness
    International Journal of Technology 11(4) 722-731 (2020) Received November 2018 / Revised January 2019 / Accepted July 2020 International Journal of Technology http://ijtech.eng.ui.ac.id Towards Regenerative Architecture: Material Effectiveness Salahaddin Yasin Baper1*, Mahmood Khayat1, Lana Hasan1 1Architectural Engineering Department, Salahaddin University –Erbil, Zanko Street, Kirkuk Road, Erbil City, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, 44002 Abstract. Environmental problems were initiated with the rise of human civilization, and they increased with the rise in technology’s contribution to human lives. Researchers in the field of architecture believe that regenerative approaches are systems based on aligning architectural design with natural resources to provide positive outcomes. Regenerative design holds significant promise for a new theory of sustainable architecture. The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework for the concept of regenerative architecture and testing materials’ effectiveness (thermal, availability, waste, and toxicity) and impacts on shifting towards regenerative architecture. Materials’ thermal properties were examined by determining energy consumption through Ecotect as a simulation program. However, other factors were measured by a checklist derived from an intense review of the literature. The results revealed that the existing current buildings in Erbil City do not lie in the regenerative zone. Moreover, the study also shows that material selection plays a significant role in reducing energy consumption and toxicity levels that result from moving architectural design towards regenerative design. Keywords: Architectural design concepts; Ecotect; Material effectiveness; Regenerative architecture 1. Introduction Regenerative architecture (which goes beyond the scope of sustainable design) is considered the highest architectural design concept in terms of positive productivity towards the environment, while sustainability aims at being neutral, which mean less harm to nature and the environment.

  • Beyond Green: Changing Context - Changing Expectations
    Chapter 1: Keynote Lectures Beyond Green: Changing Context - Changing Expectations Raymond J. Cole University of British Columbia, Canada ABSTRACT: This paper explores the changing context, expectations and priorities that directly and indirectly affect building environmental progress Whereas the current focus is on "green" design - reducing or mitigating the environmental consequences of buildings - the future concerns will embrace mitigation, adaptation to the new conditions and re- storing previous adversely impacted regions and human settlements. The paper looks be- yond current ideas of green building to the emerging notion of Regenerative design. The pri- mary objective of the paper is to identify which dictates of Regenerative design could constructively reframe performance assessment tools. 1 INTRODUCTION Green building practices have become increasingly commonplace over the past decade, in part due to the introduction and widespread use of green building rating systems. While an important initial step, simply producing buildings that are incrementally better than current practice will prove insufficient to meet the requirements of a built environment that can support sustainable patterns of living. Within the context of climate change and rapid urban development, greater performance leaps will be necessary and at a faster rate. This will challenge many existing norms and expectations and, in particular, redefine how we conceive the design, construction and operation of buildings. Whereas the current focus is on "green" design - reducing or mitigating the environmental consequences of buildings - the future concerns will embrace mitigation, adaptation to the new conditions and restoring previous adversely impacted regions and human settlements. “Regenerative” design is emerging as perhaps the most comprehensive basis for rethinking the role of building as a catalyst that positively supports the co-evolution of human and natural systems.

  • Beyond Sustainability – Biophilic and Regenerative Design in Architecture
    European Scientific Journal March 2015 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 BEYOND SUSTAINABILITY – BIOPHILIC AND REGENERATIVE DESIGN IN ARCHITECTURE Bruno Duarte Dias, MA Lusíada University, CITAD, Portugal Abstract The environment friendly design movement emerges from the clear view that human conventional action is destroying the living systems that support life on earth as we know it. This review paper underlines the limits of Sustainable concept and looks at Biophilia and Regenerative Design, two emerging concepts that appear to have a more appropriate answer to the environmental problems that we face today and in the future. This paper will give an overview of each concept and design framework, trying to interpret the way they operate, the differences, similarities and goals. Keywords: Ecological design, Sustainable design, Biophilic design, Regenerative design Introduction The foundations for the environment friendly design movement (ecodesign) starts to lay down in the US on the late 60’s, but was in the 70’s with the oil crises and books like “Silent Spring” and “The Limits to Growth” that the subjects like bioclimatic design and efficiency start to be developed. From the ecodesign design emerged two branches. The “Ecological Design”, that is define by Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan as any form of design that minimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living processes that is based in understanding the natural process and take benefit from them. The second design branch focus on low-impact environment and high efficiency solutions based on the use of technology. These are the main subjects on Green and Sustainable Design.

Coseo 3 and Ahmed Barakat 1 1 School of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA; [email protected] 2 School of Sustainability, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA; [email protected] 3 The Design School, Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 April 2018; Accepted: 5 June 2018; Published: 7 June 2018 Abstract: Although the integration of sustainability, ecology, and design has been recognized as necessary by scientists and practitioners, most transdisciplinary frameworks are not inclusive of the worldviews, paradigms, aims, processes, and components necessary for sustainability. Landscape sustainability science helps to focus scientist, scholar, practitioner, and stakeholder efforts toward sustainability at a pivotal level; however, collaboration and progress have been slow. Significant potential exists for design to be an integrative and transformational methodology toward landscape sustainability, yet it has not fulfilled this ambitious role. In this paper, we first build a case for regenerative development, a development and design methodology based on an ecological worldview, as an integrative platform for a new paradigm. This new paradigm, which we call regenerative landscape development, has the potential to thoroughly catalyze a shift toward regenerative sustainability. We then detail this new paradigm as a process that could continually enhance the capacities of living systems to increase health, well-being, and happiness.
