The primary objective of this paper is to prove the feasibility of sensitivity analysis with dominant weight method for structure parts of envelope of buildings inclusive of energy; ecological and financial assessments, and determination of different designs for same structural part via multi-criteria assessment with theoretical example designs ancillary. Multi-criteria assessment (MCA) of different structural designs or in other word alternatives aims to find the best available alternative. The application of sensitivity analysis technique in this paper bases on dominant weighting method. In this research, to choose the best thermal insulation design in the case of that more than one projection, simultaneously, criteria of total thickness (T); heat transfer coefficient (U) through the cross section; global warming potential (GWP); acid produce (AP); primary energy content (PEI) non renewable and cost per m 2 (C) are investigated for all designs via sensitivity analysis. Three different designs for external wall (over soil) which are convenient with regard to globally suggested energy features for passive house design are investigated through the mentioned six projections. By creating a given set of scenarios; depending upon the importance of each criterion, sensitivity analysis is distributed. As conclusion, uncertainty in the output of model is attributed to different sources in the model input. In this manner, determination of the best available design is achieved. The original outlook and the outlook afterwards the sensitivity analysis are visualized, that enables easily to choose the optimum design within the scope of verified components.
The paper presents the results of an experimental comparison of essential moisture characteristics of two types of sandstone, intended for the outdoor use. In addition to traditional physical properties, dynamics of absorption of both materials in its original condition as well as after the hydrophobization were investigated. The aim of the experiment is to determine the most suitable material variations for the reconstruction.
The primary aim of office buildings is to provide a working environment with innovative solutions for the inclusion of needs of all positions including administrative and managerial workers. While offices can be appearing in almost any building; requirements complicate the construction. These requirements can be due to legal regulations, and technical needs. This study focuses on combined solutions via determination and preliminary calculation of structural components intended to resistance against earthquake and usage of possible renewable energy sources. The project building consists of 10 floors by way of application of reinforced concrete in conjunction with convenient application of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, PV installation, high level of solar gain and interchangeable design. Static calculations are based on Turkish standards as Turkey is located over large seismic zone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
