Challenges

Doctor Raymond Cole and Zosia Brown launch the debate with a provocative paper on the Human and Automated Intelligence in Comfort Provisioning demonstrating that an important shift is required from conceptualizing the occupant as a passive recipient of a set of indoor conditions, to the inhabitant who may play a more active role in the maintenance and performance of their building.Three specialized sections on the Occupants, Communities and Education further explore our most serious challenges.

Strategies

Professor G.Z. Brown sets the agenda with Pleasure and Performance emphasizing the importance of the passive building/active occupant duo. This paper suggests that the integration of passive bioclimatic strategies can provide intense sensory and mental pleasure while optimizing both the building’s and the occupants’ performances. Architect Peter Busby also challenges professionals to Move from Buildings to Communities for the Future of Sustainable Design. Three sections present Daylighting, Passive Heating/Cooling and Post-Occupation Evaluation strategies as cornerstones of genuine low energy architecture.
