Includes bibliographical references (p. 220-238). Sustainable building design (SBD) -- Sustainability and sustainable development -- Sustainable building; concepts, overviews and scopes -- Eco-building design conceptual model -- Eco-indicators knowledge elicitation through fuzzy theory -- Eco-design indicators knowledge organisation -- Eco-design indicators combination -- Fuzzy eco-building design model development -- Overview of ecological building design indicators application. "Current sustainable design paradigms do not represent the time dimension of design nor do they deal with the balance between needs and limitations of user [sic] through the life cycle of the building design process. Designers try to find optimum design solutions from a system point of view, as stabilizing structures to filter and control the diffusion of variations between the end-users' dynamic values and real-world environment. Hence, Eco-design ultimate objective [sic] is to find a balance between real-world systems and end-users' values with the lowest rate of impacts [sic] on the natural environment [...] The book extracts, ranks and analyzes the most significant building design eco-indicators. Then a fuzzy assessment model, applying fuzzy logic and techniques, is developed"--Back cover. |
