“…This segment is very important in the context of energy efficiency and much work has been done in this area. Some of the measures for reduction of energy consumption include implementing Trombe wall [15], double skin [7] or improvement of building envelope characteristics [12] and can result in reduction of CO2 emission [13]. ▪ Esthetical.…”

Architectural structures are one of the main components of architecture. This is the reason why they are taught at every architectural study programme. The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Nis is no exception to this. With its strong background in civil engineering, this faculty gives even more attention to the architectural structures than most, and this has proven in practice to be a great advantage for its students. With the rise and development of new technologies, architectural structures are also being innovated and upgraded. However, new methods for teaching architectural structures are still being explored and there has not yet been an established direction for innovations in teaching architectural structures. This paper aims to analyze possible techniques and tools that could be used in enhancing teaching methodologies of architectural structures with respect to modern technologies. The paper will first present the need for innovation in teaching of architectural structures in the context of digitalization. Then, virtual tours as one of the means of digitalization will be analyzed and discussed. Next, architectural structures as a topic will concisely be introduced and systematized. In addition to this, teaching of architectural structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Nis will be briefly displayed. Finally, the possibilities for using virtual tours in teaching architectural structures will be investigated. Special attention will be paid to analyzing benefits, as well as limitations and possible problems of such an approach. Based on this, conclusions about the use of virtual tours in teaching architectural structures will be drawn and presented.

“…The cooling effect of the wind is significant only in particular circumstances, e.g. when the weather is very sunny or when the wind is carrying colder air (Bogdanoviċ et al, 2018). If the outside temperature is lower than the internal temperature, the wind can cause convections in or between the insulations, cooling down the inner wall surface.…”

Purpose This paper aims to describe how building information model (BIM) and big data can be combined in the same interface for providing new value to stakeholders, such as the property owner and user, as well as property service and workplace service companies. The research presents a new concept, which shows how the BIM can be exploited efficiently during maintenance. Design/methodology/approach Initially, existing facility management (FM) processes were investigated to find out how to digitize them and identify bottlenecks. Second, BIM’s data content was explored to identify the information that could be used to streamline FM processes. Third, the potential of the active data measured in the building was evaluated. Finally, research was undertaken to find out how constantly fluctuating information can be combined with BIM objects and what kind of added value that combination could offer. The literature review was used to support the primary contribution. In addition, the research problems were described and the basics of the research were obtained by interviews. The author has interviewed 27 professionals from several stakeholders. Findings The first finding is that the BIM can serve as a platform for building use, various services and management when it has been adequately generated during the planning and construction phases and enriched before being commissioned. The other essential finding is the theory of conditions data model (CDM), which is a technical environment that combines active data with BIM. The most important advantages of BIM in FM are as follows: • Building owner attains better user satisfaction, acquires better quality and smarter services, saves energy, ensures better indoor conditions and improves building profitability. • Service providers can develop and offer new services, speed up operations, save resources and generate more profits. • The occupant gets a better user experience, faster and higher quality services and better indoor conditions. Research limitations/implications The CDM enables to generate for the real estate and construction (RE&C) sector a novel BIM-based ecosystem with standard rules, instead of every individual operator developing his/her own unique solution for BIM use in FM. This will have an impact on the entire RE&C sector’s operating methods and will have significant financial implications in the near future. Application of this research is limited to office buildings where indoor condition measuring is undertaken continuously and where the knowledge of the use cases of spaces is available. In addition, the proper BIM in the Industry Foundation Classes format must exist. The evaluation of the validity of big data is not discussed in this article. Visualization of data and content of user interfaces will be the topic of another article by the author. This article does not deal with intricate technical details, but crucial issues are defined. Originality/value The article presents a unique method for BIM use in FM. The theory of CDM (how to combine active data with BIM) is completely new and a similar solution has not been presented earlier. The theory of the presented method will be the crucial key for BIM use and will lead worldwide commissioning. Currently, the theory is under test in the practical pilot project. The results of the project will be published in the next article.

“…Bogdanovic et al numerically simulated the energy need of a "passive house" with Trombe wall. It was shown that the Trombe wall is an effective means of utilizing solar energy and can provide an effective means for the design of passive houses in the Belgrade area [20]. Martin Thalfeldt explored the facade structure of "net zero energy buildings" in cold regions.…”

Energy-Saving Design Strategies of Zero-Energy Solar Buildings—A Case Study of the Third Solar Decathlon China

et al. 2023

Solar Decathlon is a multi-disciplinary international competition that integrates energy-saving design strategies to design, build and operate zero-energy solar houses. This study focused on the 15 entries in the third Solar Decathlon China. It summarized their energy-saving design strategies into strategies of architectural design, equipment management, energy acquisition and intelligent regulation, and extracted a total of 22 key design elements. Based on the scoring results of the competition, this study analyzed the application of different design strategies with qualitative analysis; through quantitative analysis, 22 design elements were associated with the score, and the impact of different strategies on the score was comprehensively analyzed. As revealed in the data, design concept, functional structure and application type of renewable energy are significantly correlated with and have a great impact on the score; in contrast, building area and thermal buffer space are not significantly correlated with the score. On the basis of data analysis, this study provides a quantitative decision basis for the energy-saving design strategy of zero-energy buildings, and establishes an empirical model for the design of zero-energy solar buildings in Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City. This paper is helpful for the design practice and application of subsequent studies on ZEBs.
