Sustainability in the built environment seeks to balance ecological responsibility with human health and well-being. Biophilic design, a key strategy within sustainable architecture that emphasizes connections nature, has emerged as promising approach enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) promoting occupant However, while biophilic design been widely studied various settings, its application workplace environments public buildings, particularly museums, remains underexplored. This research addresses this gap by investigating strategies integrated Bell Museum St. Paul, Minnesota, their impact on IEQ, satisfaction, work performance, health. Utilizing Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) based B3 Minnesota Building Guidelines, study assesses employee perceptions of well-being environment. The findings reveal high satisfaction (M = 6.29) physical environment, positive performance 5.89), improved overall 5.35). authors examine how Museum’s adaptation Terrapin’s 14 Patterns Design, identifying effective such natural light, material spatial configuration.

Cities can substantially contribute to European Green Deal targets by accelerating their transition towards smarter, more efficient, and renewable-based energy models. In that context, cities need increase self-sufficiency the resilience of system especially through promotion district neighbourhood scale projects such as positive districts (PEDs). Despite increasing interest for PEDs experienced in last years, deployment is currently hindered absence an planning culture lack adequately skilled personnel cities. Indeed, there a strong practical tools guidelines support practitioners design implementation PEDs. present paper introduces PlanPED, framework conception methodologies PED planning, design, implementation, municipalities transition. PlanPED aims at providing multiple perspective approach based on most important elements from existing methodologies. sense, begins with overview state art, leading identification trends, gaps, good practices current research. Then, this analysis, novel introduced. It consists three interconnected workflows that, if followed, enables know which steps resources be put practice initiate PED, while recognizing variability contexts necessities. By doing so, seeks facilitate elaboration tailored roadmaps

The Metaverse is a new application of the internet and social form which integrates myriad technologies. It can not only create parallel space that closely connected to real world while highly independent, but also bring immersive experience virtual scenarios without delay. tourism situations integrate realistic visual, audio, temperature sensations restore environment greatest extent, improve tourists’ perception satisfaction with experience. purpose this experimental lab study examine effects audio-visual conditions environmental on thermal sensation comfort. VR equipment microclimate simulation technology was applied in 3 × 2 design ( n = 180), simulating scenarios. Electrocardiogram devices were employed assess participants’ physiological indicators. Study results suggest that: (1) Virtual spatial (environmental conditions) significantly affect part indicators; (2) comfort; (3) Physiological responses (indicators) mediate effect from mainly contributes literature about under concept Metaverse, as well provides theoretical managerial implications for development “immersive”

Current societal challenges like climate change led to a general agreement that our cities need become greener and lifestyles more sustainable. This transformation of daily living environments can also impact the prevalence non-communicable diseases as global disease burden time. These positive impacts horizontal green spaces on human health are widely recognized. However, it is still unclear whether same true for walls, promising nature-based solution dense urban which increasingly applied. To date, available research walls has not been systematically synthesized along potential pathways reducing environmental stressors (Mitigation), restoring capacities (Restoration), promoting healthier behavior (Instoration). We conducted systematic review 30 reviews synthesize evidence all three direct outcomes, following established strategies PICOS PRISMA. assessed quality through AMSTAR. found strong consistent mitigate heat island effects (daylight surface temperature: -0.3 °C -31.9°, daylight air -0 -8.7 °C), pollution (PM2.5: -25% -99%, PM10: -23% -60%), noise (sound pressure level: -1dBA -5dBA). some disaster risk reduction restoration effects. There were no instoration pathway or outcomes. The underlying rated low according AMSTAR checklist, might limit findings. recognize generally young field conclude in-field studies needed in better understand relationship between health.

Mitigation of urban air pollution has been constrained by the availability spaces for greening. Green walls offer prospect greening and surfaces without requiring large areas. can largely be divided into green facades where aboveground parts plants rooted in soil pots grow directly on, living holding bags, planter tiles, trays vessels containing substrates which are grown. continuous or modular with repeating units that assembled extension. This review aims to present effectiveness removing different types pollutants indoor outdoor environments. It examined more than 45 peer-reviewed recently published scholarly articles achieve aim. highlights most studies on focus particulate matter removal could effectively remove though varies plant types, humidity, rainfall its intensity, leaf area index contact angle, wall surface coverage ratio, as well height walls. Increasing optimizing their distance from roadsides promote deposition matter. Washing off regenerate capturing pollutants. also effective NO2, O3, SO2 CO. Indoor active walls, when properly designed, have purifying performance comparable a HVAC system. The optimized through polycultures, selection plants, height, inflow.

Abstract Green ecological communities have garnered significant interest due to their role in providing urban ecosystem services, and community greening plays a pivotal environmental enhancement. In the context of carbon neutrality-oriented goals, it is imperative acknowledge significance various landscape designs sequestration within initiatives. However, there currently lack consideration for that promote high projects. Our research with literature experimental measurement data as sources, established database 138 common vegetation species Shanghai. Based on vertical structure design, we propose seven modular planting structures reflect potential high-capacity plants different green spaces. findings reveal substantial variations among tree arbor shrub categories, whereas differences herbaceous per unit area are comparatively smaller. Among combination patterns, highest achieved by configuration three-layer pattern, arbors, shrubs grasses can maximize effective use space. This study holds importance optimizing utilization limited spaces enhancing benefits landscapes. Ultimately, these efforts contribute significantly Shanghai’s journey toward neutrality.

Population growth, urbanization, and climate change have significantly contributed to environmental degradation, posing severe consequences for humans other species. By integrating ecological objectives with human-centric goals, a path towards sustainable, multi-species future is possible. Current sustainable design principles shown positive impacts by addressing such as enhancing green infrastructure, energy efficiency, thermal comfort, more. However, the incorporation of criteria remains unresolved. This paper proposes conceptual framework in which are defined associated through selection key performance indicators (KPIs) represented numerical thresholds. But, while objective-KPI relationship an established architectural design, same does not apply preserving promoting biodiversity. The proposed identifies, defines, associates relevant relationships all stakeholders becomes basis evaluating project computationally. Such approach currently lacking.
