| dc.description.abstract | Architecture in the United States is defined by its variety of architectural styles
over its lifespan as well as its innovation. The rapid expansion of our nation and
its economy has led to urban sprawl and an attitude of indifference towards the
buildings of yesterday. Real signs of climate change has established a renewed
passion in the fields of sustainability and conservation in many professional industries. Architecture has not been spared by this trend, nor should it, as buildings themselves are one of the worst contributors to climate change. This has led many architects and developers to see the value of the embodied energy
within our existing building stock, much of which is becoming vacant due to new
market trends and online shopping. Unfortunately, an enormous amount of time
must be spent during the conceptual design phase alone in order to understand
an existing building. Analyzing performance criteria is something that often gets
overlooked due to the amount of time alone it takes to do this type of study. This
analysis is critical to the sustainability effort, and a solution must exist to make it
more worthwhile for firms across the entire industry. Can an efficient workflow be
developed to determine a building's performance criteria, and therefore the
most appropriate adaptive reuse strategies to implement in its redesign? | en_US |
