summary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a suitable approach for evaluating environmental impact (e.g. Global Warming Potential (GWP)) related to construction elements and building operation. Since both contribute significantly to the lifecycle based GWP of buildings, combined consideration is necessary. This applies especially for the early design stages when measures for climate change mitigation can be implemented in a cost-efficient manner. In this paper, we describe a sensitivity and uncertainty analysis (SA/UA) for energy simulation and LCA with a total of 8,000 parameter combinations. Thereby, we investigated valuable input for the setup of a collaborative design process with limited information. Standardised Regression Coefficients (SRCs) were used to obtain sensitivity and resulting uncertainties were investigated. The results indicate Primary Energy Source (PES), compactness and energy standard to be the most important information for the robustness of the combined LCA approach. Uncertainty can be reduced by e.g. defining the energy system in an early stage or by designing compact buildings. Related to the early design stages, the application of combined approaches for SA and UA is recommended, as the results differ for embodied and operational emissions.

summary District-scale energy demand models can be powerful tools for understanding interactions in complex urban areas and optimising energy systems in new developments. The process of coupling characteristics of urban environments with simulation software to achieve accurate results is nascent. We developed a digital twin through a web map application for a 170ha district-scale university campus as a pilot. The impact on the built environment is simulated with pandemic (COVID-19) and climate change scenarios. The former can be observed through varying occupancy rates and average cooling loads in the buildings during the lockdown period. The digital twin dashboard was built with visualisations of the 3D campus, real-time data from sensors, energy demand simulation results from the City Energy Analyst (CEA) tool, and occupancy rates from WiFi data. The ongoing work focuses on formulating a resilience assessment metric to measure the robustness of buildings to these disruptions. This district-scale digital twin demonstration can help in facilities management and planning applications. The results show that the digital twin approach can support decarbonising initiatives for cities.

title Recent advances in modeling turbulent wind flow at pedestrian-level in the built environment
doi https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-022-00008-7
source Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary Pressing problems in urban ventilation and thermal comfort affecting pedestrians related to current urban development and densification are increasingly dealt with from the perspective of climate change adaptation strategies. In recent research efforts, the prime objective is to accurately assess pedestrian-level wind (PLW) environments by using different simulation approaches that have reasonable computational time. This review aims to provide insights into the most recent PLW studies that use both established and data-driven simulation approaches during the last 5 years, covering 215 articles using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and typical data-driven models. We observe that steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (SRANS) simulations are still the most dominantly used approach. Due to the model uncertainty embedded in the SRANS approach, a sensitivity test is recommended as a remedial measure for using SRANS. Another noted thriving trend is conducting unsteady-state simulations using high-efficiency methods. Specifically, both the massively parallelized large-eddy simulation (LES) and hybrid LES-RANS offer high computational efficiency and accuracy. While data-driven models are in general believed to be more computationally efficient in predicting PLW dynamics, they in fact still call for substantial computational resources and efforts if the time for development, training and validation of a data-driven model is taken into account. The synthesized understanding of these modeling approaches is expected to facilitate the choosing of proper simulation approaches for PLW environment studies, to ultimately serving urban planning and building designs with respect to pedestrian comfort and urban ventilation assessment.

title An Assessment of Tool Interoperability and its Effect on Technological Uptake for Urban Microclimate Prediction with Deep Learning Models
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.273
source Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 273-282
summary The benefits of deep learning (DL) models often overshadow the high costs associated with training them. Especially when the intention of the resultant model is a more climate resilient built environment, overlooking these costs are borderline hypocritical. However, the DL models that model natural phenomena‚conventionally simulated through predictable mathematical modelling‚don't succumb to the costly pitfalls of retraining when a model's predictions diverge from reality over time. Thus, the focus of this research will be on the application of DL models in urban microclimate simulations based on computational fluid dynamics. When applied, predicting wind factors through DL, rather than arduously simulating, can offer orders of magnitude of improved computational speed and costs. However, despite the plethora of research conducted on the training of such models, there is comparatively little work done on deploying them. This research posits: to truly use DL for climate resilience, it is not enough to simply train models, but also to deploy them in an environment conducive of rapid uptake with minimal barrier to entry. Thus, this research develops a Grasshopper plugin that offers planners and architects the benefits gained from DL. The outcomes of this research will be a tangible tool that practitioners can immediately use, toward making effectual change.

title Considering Energy, Materials and Health Factors in Architectural Design, Two Renovation Strategies for the Portuguese Building Stock
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.619
source Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 619-628
summary According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the built environment has a significant share in global final energy use, greenhouse gases emission, land-system change, and biodiversity loss to list some indicators. In Europe, the biggest challenge is to regenerate existing building stock to create a positive impact on Nature. The Portuguese housing stock is old: 56% is more than 30 years old, and it has a low level of thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The first thermal regulations appeared in 1990 and therefore most of the houses need urgent renovation to meet EU decarbonization goals, and to improve energy efficiency, as well as well-being and comfort of residents. This paper presents a method that aims to verify existing solutions known from vernacular architecture as complementary to existing strategies. It employs digital simulation to verify whether they could be used for renovation, measuring their impact on human and planetary health. The paper shows that there is a wide spectrum of parameters that influence the renovation process and that it is possible to enhance building performance using vernacular knowledge.

title Development and application of an algorithmic-parametric tool to assess the contribution of urban forestry to mitigate floods
source International Journal of Architectural Computing 2022, Vol. 20 - no. 3, pp. 496–510
summary As an impact of climate change, water-related disasters, such as floods, are becoming more frequent. In this context, there is an increasing demand to improve the resiliency of urban settlements, using multiple approaches and techniques. This paper assesses one of those techniques, by developing an algorithmicparametric tool to quantify how urban forestry reduces flood impacts from rainfall runoff. The assessment was comprised by three main methodological steps: (#1) observing the scientific literature on “the sponge effect” observed in green infrastructures; (#2) developing an algorithmic-parametric tool using the Grasshopper application to estimate rainfall runoff, considering the influence of urban forestry design factors; and (#3) performing digital simulations with this parametric tool using a Rhinoceros-Grasshopper interface. Results indicate this method is effective in assessing the efficacy of green interventions to mitigate urban flood damage and also in foreseeing how different design strategies impact urban hydrological dynamics.

title Investigating Urban Heat Island and Vegetation Effects Under the Influence of Climate Change in Early Design Stages
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.679
source Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 679-688
summary Different criteria need to be considered for optimal strategies in the early design stages of urban developments. Under the influence of climate change, the urban heat island effect (UHI) is a phenomenon that gains importance in the early design stages. Here, different parameters, for instance, vegetation ratio in the city district and building density, play a significant role in the UHI effect. These parameters need to be quantified through different simulation tools for optimal climate adaptation and mitigation measures on the urban district scale. However, not all parameters and their influence are clear to the decision-makers and actors in the early design stages. Hence, we propose a Monte Carlo based sensitivity analysis (SA) and uncertainty analysis (UA) to show the significance of different parameters and quantify them. The SA aims to identify the major influencing parameters, whereas the UA quantifies the effect on the energy performance and indoor thermal comfort of occupants. The workflow is integrated into a collaborative design platform and applied in a case study to support decision-makers in the early design stages for new developments, densification, or refurbishment scenarios.

summary The contemporary climate crisis pushed communities of actors, cities and citizens to use smart technology, digital platforms, and data-based intelligence to steer creative solutions for greening in their urban ecosystems. This phenomenon brought about an increasing imperative for citizen participation and inclusion, in the co-design of green infrastructures, suggesting alternative ways to deal with the lack or misuse of public space. In this framework, this paper analyzes the case of ''UnionYouth in Chania'', a project that aims a) to build an environmental awareness strategy for Generation Z, b) to promote capacity-building processes related to climate change and environmental protection, c) actually transform the city public space through participatory processes. Specifically, the project describes the creation of a digital platform and a mobile app consisting of several engagement tools that allow interaction between the digital community of youth, the city's decision-makers, and city greening actors. Therefore, the first part of the paper talks about the necessity of promoting today's participatory processes in the city for climate change mitigation through a literature review that emerged in the last decade. The second part of the paper examines a case study, namely UnionYouth in Chania, a digital collaborative platform that promotes methods for greening the city through district-based, activity-based, and network-based redesign solutions. The third part of the paper brings about interesting reflections on the relationship between the analog and digital world, and how bottom-up processes may be an important tool in city planning. The overall scope of the analysis of the specific case study is to bring insights into the architectural world, as a means to create more bridges with citizens and communities and contribute to their greening understanding.

summary To examine how efforts in the built environment can contribute to global climate change mitigation at the urban scale, urban building energy modelling (UBEM) is one of the research areas gaining increasing interest in recent years. However, limited studies systematically illustrate a comprehensive UBEM workflow for most architects and urban planners considering available public datasets, particularly at the early conceptual design phase. In current UBEM studies, major challenges arise from the lack of fine-grained measured urban data and incompatibility between software. To address these challenges and support future sustainable cities and communities, this paper proposed a streamlined computational workflow of UBEM to facilitate sustainable urban design development. Through a case study of Sheffield in the UK, this paper demonstrated an automated and standardised computational workflow that can test the decarbonisation potential in built environments by evaluating energy demand and supply scenarios at an urban scale. This workflow is envisaged to be applicable at various scales of an urban region given an appropriate geographic information system (GIS) dataset.

title How to Prevent a Passive House from Overheating: An Industry Case Study Using Parametric Design to Propose Compliance Strategies
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.639

summary The airtight, well-insulated building fabric of a Passive House can reduce operational energy consumption but can also present a risk of overheating during summer. PHPP, the Excel tool used to model Passive Houses, considers the whole building as a single thermal zone; a simplification that might be partly responsible for the tool‚s limited ability to predict overheating risk. The current study on a real-world project provides insights on two topics. First, we compare PHPP‚s overheating assessment with that of CIBSE‚s TM59 standard that requires dynamic energy modelling at a room level. Our results support the claim that PHPP underestimates overheating; in our case, glazing SHGC and air change rate were some of the most important parameters affecting compliance, as were some other, rarely analysed factors like ratio of external wall to room volume. Second, we report on the effectiveness of using parametric design for compliance modelling of this kind, and found that parameter studies, coupled with appropriate data visualisation, are an effective way to build intuition on a design problem of this kind.

summary Which kind of imagination do we need for the future of our planet? In the past 150 years, we have completely transformed our biosphere. Today we have arrived at points of no return in global warming! The temperature of the Arctic Ocean will increase by 3-5°C by mid-century. This will lead to disastrous ocean acidification, sea-level rise, and worst of all the thawing of the permafrost that will release 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In this paper, we argue that building with biology will be the most important force to transform our planet. Since 2006, Synthetic Biology (SynBio) has surfaced as the fastest-growing technology in human history. SynBio involves emerging techniques that allow us to design, edit, and engineer all kinds of living organisms. In this paper, we elaborate on its potential development in growing infrastructures and its impacts on architectural thinking.

summary Climate change is not a theoretical construct that might affect future generations; it is happening now. Wildfires, drought, and extreme temperatures are occurring throughout the world, and are projected to get worse. These environmental changes affect all species on this planet. Due to the overwhelming, depressing, and complex subject matter that is climate change, people can feel apathetic or tune out when it is being discussed, in addition to having feelings of hopelessness surrounding the future. These feelings are categorized as eco-anxiety (Ágoston et al. 2022, 1-3).

title Building Resilience - Using Parametric Modelling and Game Engines to Simulate the Impacts of Secondary Structures in Bushfire Events
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.749

summary Bushfires are a global phenomenon, closely connected to climate change and safety, resilience and sustainability of cities and human settlements. Government agencies, architects and researchers across institutions are committed to improving Australia‚s resilience to bushfires yet grappling with ways to further mitigate risks. ‚Build back better‚ is the often-used phrase to support bushfire resilience, yet there remains a limited understanding of how secondary structures, such as storage sheds, garages, and fences contribute to or mitigate fire loss. These secondary structures are integral to properties yet fall, largely, outside land use planning approval processes and other regulations. Computational modelling can be adapted to deliver visualisations that increase awareness. We developed several simulation approaches which addressed distances, relationship to and the construction materials of secondary structures, terrain slopes and environmental forces. We conclude that gaming engines may offer the optimal immersive opportunity for residents and others to visualise fire risks related to secondary structures to increase awareness and improve bushfire readiness behaviours.

summary The confluence of different interests‚the Anthropocene, productivity, sustainability, economics‚calls for a need to re-think how the professions evaluate the built environment. There is a myriad of different strands of work under this umbrella which‚broadly‚point to a shift in the value framework for those people and professions who have agency in, and are responsible for, the creation of the built environment. This paper has two objectives. First, by drawing from the writing of architectural theorist Juhani Pallasmaa it teases out themes useful to conceptualise the value change. The goal is to delineate particular views around the creation of and our relation to the built environment. Second, it presents three projects: (1) tracking chemical composition of construction materials, (2) an app that encourages e-commerce in building multi-species environments, and (3) a concept for an economy in construction waste leveraging possibilities presented by blockchain technology. The aim is to shed light on how the emerging blockchain technology might alter values and organisational systems of the built environment in response to the Anthropocene and climate crisis.

summary The Arctic is a zone of confluent resources where climate change has begun disrupting the once stable ecological and transhumant lifestyles. Encroachment on pastureland by oil, gas and mining facilities limit reindeer herding activity, and the presence of such infrastructure continues to alter their sensory perceptions and consequently their capacity to read and navigate their environment. Parallel to this, thawing permafrost results in the release of gaseous methane, causing landforms called pingos to explode without detectable warning. This paper proposes a strategy for adapting to these rapid changes by implementing an autonomous system to balance the Arctic ecology through two mutual dependent interventions- (1) Regenerating the pingos to prevent explosion and create new pastoral lands. (2) Seasonally herding the reindeer to these new pastures. The project uses primary data, physical tests, and current technological tools to inform the discourse and suggest a derivative solution. Advanced computational tools like machine learning, robotics, and simulations are used to speculate upon the post-carbon Arctic ecology. The project performs through a strategy of local interventions, networking the living and non-living agents in a tight rope act that balances the Arctic ecology.

summary The climate crisis confronts us with global scenarios of water deficiency, which leads us to optimize rainwater harvesting (RWH) methods applied to landscapes. These are sophisticated projects with high technical investment per hectare designed and executed. Therefore, to balance the cost of engineering, through advanced digital design tools, it has become an objective to use landscape architecture as a resource for mitigating water deficit and climate change. In order to restore the relationship between the natural and built environment through virtual processing. This work exposes a new geometric analysis methodology, verified in a case study, which applies generative parametric programming to increase the water capacity of a natural landscape. This work demonstrates the potential of digital design for the ecological recovery of the territory.

summary Under the context of climate change, the urban heat island (UHI) is a challenging problem in Philadelphia as the number of days with extreme heat every year keeps increasing. Taking into account limited green space but a considerable amount of vacant lands in Philadelphia, we would test the cooling effect of greening vacant lands in UHI by exploring the quantitative relationship between land covers and Land Surface Temperature (LST) with novel machine learning technologies.

summary Life is getting digital more than ever as technology improves. While the Internet is responsible for two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is underestimated as a pollutant. Since public awareness is one of the most important preservation methods, it can contribute to protecting the environment from carbon emissions by raising people's understanding. In this regard, serious games, as a type of gamification transmitting educational content besides entertainment, immerse the player in enjoyment while teaching them a specific topic or enhancing their skills in a field. This study proposes a serious game, taking the digital unseen carbon footprint and its effects on the landscape into the topic. The game considers SDG goals provided by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. In this regard, the research uses SDGs 4 and 7 by providing quality education for all and access to sustainable energy by changing people's everyday habits.

These proceedings, consisting of two volumes, contain the research papers that were accepted for presentation at the 27th International CAADRIA Conference, organised jointly by the University of New South Wales, The University of Sydney, and the University of Technology Sydney. The papers in this publication have been selected through a two-stage, double-blind peer review process. All reviews and papers have been evaluated by the Paper Selection Committee. After receiving an initial 488 abstract submissions, a final set of 150 full papers has been selected for publication, translating to an acceptance rate of 30.7%. The papers in these proceedings are specifically selected for their contribution to this year's conference theme, following the conference organisers' call for authors to position their work in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the world is experiencing the increasing impacts of climate change, there is an urgent need to reflect on the potential of the latest research in architecture, urbanism and construction to address these global challenges.
