This book presents innovations for sustainable building design
and refurbishment developed and tested through feasibility studies
undertaken by researchers at Scottish universities in collaboration
with small to medium size enterprises in Scotland during the CIC
Start Online project that ran from September 2009 to February 2013.
The project was led by Glasgow Caledonian University in
collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University, Glasgow School of
Art, Heriot-Watt University, the Robert Gordon University,
University of Edinburgh and the University of Strathclyde Glasgow.
The book includes chapters on Context and Policies, Planning,
Building Design, Technologies, Construction, Refurbishment and
Performance.
The contents of each chapter are based on 63 completed studies
that were initiated by businesses operating in the construction
sector or providing services to the sector, indicating the scope of
research required to assist the industry to develop more
sustainable products and processes. The book informs the reader
about the range of innovations that were tested and highlight
potential future research areas. Readers can find in-depth
information by accessing the project website www.cicstart.org,
where full reports on most studies and the video recordings of
interactive online seminars that presented the outcomes of the
studies are available.
Along with the new knowledge on how innovations for sustainable
building design and refurbishment can be applied in practice, the
book demonstrates how joint projects of several universities can be
successfully managed and how an immediate knowledge transfer can be
organized by using web tools to reach over 2,200 current members
nationally and internationally (in UK and 53 other countries).
