Establishment and Experiment of IMGE^SB as a Sustainable Building Design Method

Abstract:

To realize a higher quality sustainable building, it needs more efficient design methodology from the beginning. Through theoretical study, case analysis and interview practice, based on “the integrated status of generation and evaluation” in building design process, and improving the" sustainable performance" effectively as the core goal, a new methodology named "IMGE^SB" (Integration Mechanism of Generation-Evaluation for Sustainable Building) is established. Through an experimental design for an office building, IMGESB is applied, tested and optimized. Finally the authors summarized the corresponding design procedures for the framework, which consists of four basic execution modules. IMGE^SB is not only a design methodology, but also a kind of design ideology in architecture. It can ensure maximize the sustainable goal from the view of procedure in the design process.
