摘要

目的——调查现有建筑可持续性,从而开发一项研究议程。

设计/方法/方法——回顾文献上有关现有建筑在城市背景下, 假定在建筑上有比其中的“砖和砂浆”更多的“价值”和调查分摊因素。

结果——没有建筑是孤立的。彼此相关的建筑和基础设施,连接和服务于他们和他们的用户。例如,文化,遗产和物理链接是建立在和添加到新建筑和改进现有的建筑。这个概念的“具体能源”是相关的。 

研究局限性/意义——大部分的建筑二十二世纪已经存在。这严重影响改善可持续性,现有建筑股票应该更充分考虑,这样可以通过建立新的消耗更少的资源。需要更进一步的研究来开发和测试一个评价模型,使评价更全面的“投资”在现有的建筑。 

创意/价值——本文还要对现有建筑和他们对可持续性的贡献进行评估。

The role of existing buildings in the sustainability agenda

Abstract

Purpose – To investigate the contribution that existing buildings make to sustainability and thereby to develop a research agenda.

Design/methodology/approach – Reviews literature related to existing buildings in the urban context, positing that there is more “value” in buildings than their “bricks and mortar” and investigates contributory factors.

Findings – No building is an island. Buildings relate one to another and to the infrastructure, which links and serves them and their users. There are, for instance, cultural, heritage and physical links to be built upon and added to by new buildings and improvements to existing buildings. The concept of “embodied energy” is relevant.

Research limitations/implications – Much of the building stock of the twenty-second century already exists. To make a serious impact on improving sustainability, existing building stock should be more fully considered, so that fewer resources may be consumed by building new. Further research is needed to develop and test an evaluation model that will make a fuller assessment of the “investment” in existing buildings.
