The aim of this research, carried out in collaboration with Maco Technology Inc., was to analyse the energy performance of temporary textile structures that are often used to host itinerant events. This paper illustrates the dynamic simulations carried on the Ducati Pavilion, designed by Maco Technology, which hosted Ducati staff during the different stages of the Superbike World Championship. Specific aspects relating to the structural/constructive system of the project were also analysed. The theme of energy saving and carbon reduction is of great importance in temporary and itinerant structures and environmental sustainability in relation to the materials used, storage, re-use, mode of transport and ability to respond efficiently to the climatic conditions of the installation sites is an important aspect. The Ducati Pavilion was modelled and analysed from an energy point of view using Design Builder software. Ways of improving performance were analysed under summer conditions. The paper focuses on the importance of optimizing the performance of textile envelopes: the methodology proposed allows visible savings in terms of energy consumption and achieves good levels of environmental comfort in temporary buildings with low thermal mass structure.

Many stadiums will be built in China in the next few decades due to increasing public interest in physical exercise and the incentive policies issued by the government under its National Fitness Program. This paper investigates the energy saving and carbon reduction performance of timber stadiums in China in comparison with stadiums constructed using conventional building materials, based on both life cycle energy assessment (LCEA) and life cycle carbon assessment (LCCA). The authors select five representative cities in five climate zones in China as the simulation environment, simulate energy use in the operation phase of stadiums constructed from reinforced concrete (RC) and timber, and compare the RC and timber stadiums in terms of their life cycle energy consumption and carbon emissions. The LCEA results reveal that the energy saving potential afforded by timber stadiums is 11.05%, 12.14%, 8.15%, 4.61% and 4.62% lower than those of RC buildings in “severely cold,” “cold,” “hot summer, cold winter,” “hot summer, warm winter,” and “temperate” regions, respectively. The LCCA results demonstrate that the carbon emissions of timber stadiums are 15.85%, 15.86%, 18.88%, 19.22% and 22.47% lower than those of RC buildings for the regions above, respectively. This demonstrates that in China, timber stadiums have better energy conservation and carbon reduction potential than RC stadiums, based on life cycle assessment. Thus, policy makers are advised to encourage the promotion of timber stadiums in China to achieve the goal of sustainable energy development for public buildings.

This paper describes carbon reduction techniques as energy saving design and energy saving manufacturing technologies in panel furniture industry. The author points out that reasonable panel furniture design means energy saving design. Designers can get reasonable panel furniture design by using appropriate design platform, doing good color designs and designing wonderful culture characters. Tow examples explained how those did. This paper also classifies the carbon reduction manufacturing process of panel furniture as GT (group technology) technologies, perfect panel board cutting plan and reasonable surface decoration. Some personal working experience is provided to support them.

Carbon Reduction

This paper proposes capabilities of transparent glass window design with energy-saving and heat insulation for carbon reduction issues. An optical thin film coating technology is used for coating multilayered dielectric materials on the transparent glass to achieve an infrared ray shielding effect; especially to prevent rising temperature easily of indoor room. That is infrared ray incidence from outdoor and the thermal flux effect of the transparent window influent the indoor room temperature. In winter, the outdoor temperature is increased more easily by infrared ray incidence. However, the heat insulation window allows 98% of visible light penetration through the window and also allows 90% of infrared light reflection and roughly 10% of infrared light penetration into indoor.

Green Construction

To respond to continuing global warming and rising environmental awareness, owners in the construction industry, a leading industry worldwide, must possess a greater awareness of energy- saving and carbon reduction construction products and their corporate social responsibilities. Construction industry owners are frequently required to focus on profit as the primary goal of projects for corporate sustainability. This study examined the effects on energy saving and carbon reduction efforts on the use of green construction elements in existing construction projects. The analysis results revealed that applying energy-saving and carbon reduction construction elements improves sales prices and rates substantially, even though it raises construction costs. In response to the evolution of green technology and the increase in consumer environmental awareness, future construction projects should increase the application of new energy-saving and carbon reduction construction materials. The results of this study provide a reference to construction industry owners implementing green construction materials.
