| summary |
Urbanisation catalyses environmental degradation, leading to reduced ecosystem services and compromised human well-being. To mitigate negative anthropogenic impacts, cities draw on sustainable and resilient design strategies. Among these solutions are green envelopes, which are highly beneficial in densely populated environments. However, existing sustainability methods lack a comprehensive framework to holistically evaluate the influence of green building envelopes. This paper introduces a computational method for the holistic sustainability evaluation of green envelopes, focusing on climate change and material usage impacts through strategic indicators. By employing a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model, our method facilitates the generation and selection of optimised design alternatives aimed at enhancing environmental resilience. We examine the trade-offs between alternatives, prioritising various objectives related to architectural and sustainability performances. The results show that accounting for climate change and material use impacts enhanced trade-offs between design alternatives without compromising key architectural considerations. This research provides valuable insights for resilient envelope designs amidst rising urban environmental complexities. |
