Application of Simulation-Based Metrics to Improve the Daylight Performance of a Secondary School, An Approach for Green Building Designers and Architects

Visual comfort affects the quality of classrooms as well as student learning. A practice-oriented approach discovers how the gap between academic research and its application in building design can be addressed. Nevertheless, the physical characteristics design of daylighting systems, including window sizes, shapes, dimensions, and materials, are considered fundamental challenges for their practicability. In this study, the physical characteristics design of daylighting systems, including window sizes, shapes, dimensions, and materials, are considered in a designed sample school, and the daylight metrics were analyzed to achieve more trustworthy and applicable daylighting systems. Grasshopper (Honeybee-Ladybug), as a parametric control method, was applied to simulate the daylighting quality for various educational spaces in a secondary school in Sanandaj City, based on average ‘Daylight Factor’, ‘Daylight Autonomy’, ‘Useful Daylight Illuminance’, and ‘Annual Sunlight Exposure’. These metrics were examined to discover the relationship between window size and positions on visual comfort. The results indicate daylighting assessments are a solid approach to revising the architectural design mistakes at the primary designing phase. Architects and other building designers or energy consumption assessors can apply the design improvement process to present more sufficient and successful architectural details. This is a fundamental step toward the implementation of green buildings.

Study of the green building implementation: towards net zero energy housing (case study: South Tangerang)

The study investigates the use of green building concepts by private developers in South Tangerang. The implementation of green building policies has a significant impact on the government’s target of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by 2030. The private sector, specifically large private developers in South Tangerang, has made significant contributions to the successful implementation of green building. The majority of new houses built in recent years have been built by large private developers with a lot of land in South Tangerang. This research is significant because a large developer with all of the financial and technical resources can be a pioneer in the future application of green building for residential homes. For governments with all financial and technical constraints, the active role of private developers will greatly aid in the mass implementation of green buildings. However, the constraints and challenges faced by private developers in incorporating green building concepts into their products remain poorly understood and discussed. A simulation of a typical model house built by a private developer can be used to assess the private sector’s potential for energy and economic savings. There are still very few green building discussions that address the potential of housing to save energy. The study is expected to contribute to discussions about green building applications by providing an overview of the challenges and potential for implementation.

The article analyzes the main aspects of green building implementation as an element of promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals and improving the environmental safety of urbanized systems. The article highlights the sustainable development goals on which green building has a direct or indirect impact, indicating the criteria for improving the environment, promoting resource conservation and energy efficiency. Today, the construction industry in Ukraine is one of the largest polluters of the environment, along with industrial enterprises and transportation. That is why the issue of minimizing the construction industry's impact on the environment is relevant. To determine the real impact of a building on the environment, it is proposed to use innovative methods, such as life cycle analysis, which is a systematic approach to assessing the environmental and social impact of a building throughout its life, including design, construction, operation, and reconstruction/demolition. This analysis helps to determine the optimal construction solutions, taking into account the requirements of biosphere compatibility and sustainable development. The article describes the main advantages of green building. Green buildings use energy-efficient technologies and materials that help reduce emissions of harmful substances into the air and water. This helps to reduce environmental pollution and improve air quality. Green buildings often use solar panels, wind turbines, and other sources of renewable energy to help reduce dependence on fossil fuel consumption and ensure a stable energy supply. Green buildings aim to reduce the consumption of natural resources, such as water and wood, through the implementation of efficient resource management systems and the use of recycled materials. Green building can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure, such as efficient water supply, sewerage and urban transport systems, which ensures the sustainable functioning of urbanized systems. The article highlights the main concepts that contribute to improving environmental safety and achieving sustainable development goals: the use of energy-efficient materials and technologies, the use of renewable energy sources, reducing the consumption of natural resources, and promoting the development of sustainable infrastructure in urbanized systems. The author highlights the limited legal, regulatory and legislative framework for the implementation of green building as one of the elements for further analysis of the possibility of implementing European standards in state legislation.

ECO-ORIENTED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF TILERS

The relevance of this article is dictated by the acuteness of the environmental pollution issue, especially from the construction sector, which presents a challenge both for Ukraine and globally. One of the solutions to this problem is the implementation of green building, which involves the use of environmentally friendly materials, innovative waste-free and low-waste technologies, alternative energy sources, waste recycling, etc. This necessitates new, ecologically oriented approaches in the training of qualified construction workers, particularly tile setters. Objective: Based on global and national experience in green building, this study aims to investigate the issue of training tile setters in Ukraine using eco-oriented technologies and to develop recommendations for improving the process of integrating these technologies into educational curricula and programs. Methods: Analysis of domestic and foreign sources on ecological education and green building, empirical research on the practice of applying ecotechnologies by tile setters in Ukraine. Results: The essence of eco-oriented professional training is revealed, the foreign and national experiences in green building are analyzed; eco-oriented technologies for tile setters are examined; the main ecological requirements for building materials and technologies for tiling works are disclosed; corresponding recommendations for the use of eco-oriented technologies in the professional training of future tile setters are prepared. Conclusions: Eco-oriented professional training must become an integral part of the professional competence of tile setters, bringing changes both to the content and methods of education. For instance, during tiling works, environmentally friendly hydro insulation membrane materials are used; powerful construction companies that conduct eco-certification of their products have emerged; the use of mastics and adhesives based on dry building mixtures reduces construction waste and, consequently, soil pollution at the construction site; more precise laser measuring devices are increasingly used in tiling works. Therefore, in training tile setters, attention should be paid to studying modern green technologies. The importance of developing normative legal acts on eco-certification of building materials and technologies, and subsequently buildings, is substantiated. It is recommended to revise the National Standard of Professional Education for the profession of tile setter, considering ecological requirements, and for teachers of vocational education institutions to pay special attention to forming ecological competence in future tile setters.
