主题范围
Humans in residential, commercial, tourism, institutional, and other buildings consume water, energy, food, and other resources, such that the built environment represents an important sector impacting resource consumption and sustainability. In some built environment contexts, resource consumption data are limited due to different regulatory, technological, or societal factors, including lack data collection, non-public data, and/or privacy concerns. Rapidly emerging innovations in the information and communications technology sector have created challenges in how “big data” are captured, stored, processed, and shared. New data analytics, qualitative methods, and decision-aiding frameworks can advance understanding of the impacts to resource consumption in relation to socio-economics or other external stressors. Understanding the barriers and enablers that smart meter-enabled “big data” can have on resource consumption can help foster sustainability in the built environment.
In this focus issue, we invite contributions that examine water, energy, food, and other resource consumption and sustainability in the built environment. In particular, we are interested in applied examples of how data have been coupled with human and infrastructure systems to promote sustainability in the built environment. Example research topics include, but are not limited to, data-informed analysis of:
- resource consumption in buildings, including residential, commercial, tourism, and institutional facilities;
- spatial and temporal variations in resource consumption across the built environment;
- sustainability considerations for unique built environments, such as remote island, rural, and/or vulnerable communities;
- resource consumption changes in response to work-from-home measures compared to office buildings – particularly in light of the recent global COVID-19 pandemic; and
- the impact of heterogeneous socio-economic, climate, or other external stressors affecting resource conservation and efficiency across diverse human populations.
