“…In order to analyse the isolated effects of space layouts, the design variables influencing energy balance are classified, regarding their relationships with space layouts, as shown in Table 3. Firstly, the design variables belonging to space layouts include function allocation, space dimension, space form, interior partition and interior opening [33,42,68,73]. Secondly, if space layouts are designed within a non-fixed layout boundary, the boundary dimension, form and orientation can also be changed consequently [69,74].…”

“…For instance, occupancy and distribution of workstations, and lighting and ventilation requirements were also changed in [42,63]. Other parameters were also changed, such as WWRs in [33,65,[67][68][69]71], types and sizes of shading systems in [69] and opening states of windows in [63].…”

“…In addition to energy use, some studies also calculated the indicators for thermal and visual comfort. These indicators include predicted mean vote (PMV) in [68], daylight autonomy in [67] and daylight illuminance in [68], which can provide extra information about BEP in addition to energy use. Regarding the system boundary of assessment, most of these articles defined their energy indicators unclearly: three articles described the system efficiency [33,65,71], and we assume that they tested the final energy; the others did not show system information, thus, we assume that they tested energy demands.…”

As one of the most important design tasks of building design, space layout design affects the building energy performance (BEP). In order to investigate the effect, a literature review of relevant papers was performed. Ten relevant articles were found and reviewed in detail. First, a methodology for studying the effects of space layouts on BEP were proposed regarding design variables, energy indicators and BEP calculation methods, and the methodologies used in the 10 articles were reviewed. Then, the effects of space layouts on energy use and occupant comfort were analysed separately. The results show that the energy use for heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation is highly affected by space layouts, as well as thermal and visual comfort. The effects of space layouts on energy use are higher than on occupant comfort. By changing space layouts, the resulting reductions in the annual final energy for heating and cooling demands were up to 14% and 57%, respectively, in an office building in Sweden. The resulting reductions in the lighting demand of peak summer and winter were up to 67% and 43%, respectively, for the case of an office building in the UK, and the resulting reduction in the air volume supplied by natural ventilation was 65%. The influence of other design parameters, i.e., occupancy and window to wall ratio, on the effects of space layouts on BEP was also identified.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1829 2 of 23 sufficient daylight and natural ventilation within a building, the building is expected to require less energy demand in total.Although architectural space layout is expected to highly affect BEP, it is rarely included in the studies on energy-efficient building design. Numerous studies exist on energy-efficient design, and most of them focus on geometry [11,14], envelope [15,16], façade [17,18], material [19,20], atrium [21,22] and shading systems [23,24]. On the other hand, researchers have been working on space layout design for decades [25,26]; however, they mainly focused on other design objectives rather than energy performance. These objectives include safety [27,28], logistics [29,30], efficiency [31,32], finance cost [33,34], occupant health and performance [35,36], view connection [37,38] and acoustics [39,40]. These two research domains, space layout design and energy-efficient building design, are shown in Figure 1. The overlapping area of the two domains, i.e., energy-efficient space layout design, is the focus of this paper. This paper aims at the effects on BEP caused by changing space layouts, without considering the possible influence on the indirect cost of the building, such as space usability and workability.

“…The three primary spaces in laboratories are labs, lab support spaces, and offices. Space planning in laboratories is traditionally considered in terms of the internal relationships between these main spaces (Cooper, 1994;Yi, 2016). Laboratories have several typical layout manners (Hain, 2003;Watch, 2002), attributing to the idea of LabGrammar.…”

ABSTRACT:Maps are the foundation of indoor location-based services. Many automatic indoor mapping approaches have been proposed, but they rely highly on sensor data, such as point clouds and users' location traces. To address this issue, this paper presents a conceptual framework to represent the layout principle of research buildings by using grammars. This framework can benefit the indoor mapping process by improving the accuracy of generated maps and by dramatically reducing the volume of the sensor data required by traditional reconstruction approaches. In addition, we try to present more details of partial core modules of the framework. An example using the proposed framework is given to show the generation process of a semantic map. This framework is part of an ongoing research for the development of an approach for reconstructing semantic maps.
