Multi-scale Multi-regional Studies of Sustainable Construction

In the case of multi-scale multi-regional studies, a multi-disciplinary approach was adopted to address the urgent issue of land supply. By examining land footprint distribution patterns at the national level, decomposing the inter-sectoral energy transfers through the whole upstream supply chain at the industrial level, conceptualizing a decision support framework for sustainable urban renewal at the city level, conducting a 3D spatial analysis at the district level, developing an energy assessment framework of new buildings and a unified decision support system for the green retrofit of existing buildings, the project provided a multi-scale strategy framework to formulate scientific and rational decisions for sustainable development. An energy assessment framework of new buildings and a unified decision support system for the green retrofit of existing buildings were developed.
