Toward multi-species building envelopes: A critical literature review of multi-criteria decision-making for design support

Building and Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 231, P. 110006 - 110006

Published: Jan. 13, 2023

Rapid urbanization negatively affects the built and biotic environment, necessitating interdisciplinary mitigation strategies. Current nature-based solutions that are integrated into building envelope design have proved to be beneficial. These solutions, however, primarily anthropocentric often overlook potential support other living organisms, such as animals microbiota. Thus, a multi-species approach is envisioned facilitate more holistic envelope-design solutions. While integrating ecological knowledge architectural introduces decision-making complexity, multi-criteria can design. This paper reviews applications in two domains: planning Using systematic literature review methodology compile relevant publications for full-text analysis, results show significant disparities between domains. driven by applications, scale of criteria typology external decision-maker engagement. However, we identified opportunities sequentially employ multi-objective optimization multi-attribute mitigate technical differences collaboration.

Surrogate Global Optimization for Identifying Cost‐Effective Green Infrastructure for Urban Flood Control With a Computationally Expensive Inundation Model

Water Resources Research, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 58(4)

Published: April 1, 2022

Abstract Optimization algorithms and urban inundation models are powerful tools to identify cost‐effective designs of green infrastructures such as low‐impact developments (LIDs). Most previous LID design optimization studies based on one‐dimensional (1D) models, which cannot provide spatial information flooding. The two‐dimensional (2D) or coupled 1D‐2D was rarely explored due the expensive computing time. This work investigates effectiveness surrogate methods for design, have not been used problems. We propose a general framework that searches optimal configurations both flood damage under series probable events life cycle costs (LCCs) LID. demonstrate using case study an catchment with 55 sub‐catchments 103 decision variables. tested two different designed high‐dimensional problems: DYnamic COordinate search Response Surface (DYCORS) Trust Region Bayesian (TuRBO), one popular non‐surrogate method particle swarm (PSO). result indicates that: (a) DYCORS is promising (significantly faster than TuRBO PSO) identifying minimize cost LCC; (b) Optimized could reduce by much $12.14 million after eliminating its own LCC compared no implementation; (c) effective in reducing imperviousness lands areas.

Optimizing the co-benefits of food desert and urban heat mitigation through community garden planning

Landscape and Urban Planning, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 226, P. 104488 - 104488

Published: June 17, 2022

Urban community gardens can reduce food insecurity and serve as green spaces alleviating extreme temperatures. Such co-benefit synergy may prove especially significant for arid-land metropolises. Despite these synergistic roles, planning is largely undertaken in an ad-hoc manner. To date, few studies have addressed the full potential (co-benefits) of developing urban vacant land into garden-green spaces. We this a spatially-optimized way, model seeking to mitigate desert heat, applied it fast sprawling Phoenix metro-area, Arizona (USA). Examining more than 5,000 parcels spaces, we found that optimal number locations needed different mitigation goals vary significantly. In required heat about twice because high-temperature areas are prevalent expansive semi-arid environment compared relatively small low income, areas. Furthermore, existing 76 were mostly clustered around cores, leaving two-thirds metro-area underserved. If sited co-benefits gained from could be doubled, covering high-need neighborhoods. Integrating fine-scale parcel data, our identified high garden-greening sites priority neighborhoods with precision not capable conventional methods. Our findings demonstrate particular importance avoid clustering ensure equal access local outdoor cooling benefits.
