Passive Survivability 被动生存能力
Most buildings depend on a continuous supply of heating or cooling to maintain comfort and safety for building occupants. However, extreme weather and other adverse events can disrupt a building's indoor environmental quality if the power goes out or fuel runs low.
大多数建筑依赖持续的供暖或制冷来维持使用者的舒适度与安全。但极端天气等突发情况可能导致断电或燃料短缺,进而破坏室内环境质量。
Green Building Strategies 绿色建筑策略
Green buildings are designed to provide safe environments even during power outages and other disruptions by striving for passive survivability, which is a building's ability to maintain critical life-support conditions if services such as power, heating fuel, or water are lost.
绿色建筑通过被动生存能力设计,在断电或其他服务中断时仍能维持安全环境 —— 即建筑在失去电力、供暖燃料或供水等服务时,维持关键生命支持条件的能力。
Strategies include:
- Having a high-performance building envelope with enough insulation and interior thermal mass to stay comfortable long after the HVAC goes off
- Being designed to benefit from solar heat gain during the winter to stay warm longer
- Controlling solar heat gain during the summer with exterior shading devices and high-performance windows to avoid overheating
- Relying on operable windows to provide natural ventilation when conditions permit
- Installing composting toilets that can work without water
- Stocking non-perishable food for consumption during an extended power outage
相关策略包括:
- 采用高性能建筑围护结构,配备充足保温层与室内热质,在暖通空调关闭后仍能长时间维持舒适温度
- 冬季利用太阳辐射得热延长保暖时间
- 夏季通过外遮阳装置与高性能窗户控制太阳得热,避免过热
- 条件允许时,通过可开启窗户实现自然通风
- 安装无需供水即可工作的堆肥厕所
- 储备不易腐坏的食物,以应对长时间停电
Even beyond power outages, project teams still need to be prepared to respond to outside forces. This includes monitoring air sensor data closely when outdoor air quality is poor (e.g., when a wildfire is in the region) to enable a faster response. Having plans and supplies in place is crucial.
除断电外,项目团队还需应对外部环境变化。例如,当室外空气质量不佳(如区域发生野火)时,需密切监测空气传感器数据,以便快速响应。制定预案并准备物资至关重要。
Example strategies when outdoor air quality is poor 室外空气质量不佳时的应对策略
- Installing higher-rated air filters (使用更高等级的空气过滤器)
- Changing filters more often (增加过滤器更换频率)
- Adding air-cleaning devices to indoor spaces (在室内增设空气净化设备)
