I. Intelligent Buildings Research Group With Taiwan’s aging population, later retirement, and decreasing birthrate, future buildings will be required to provide intelligent residential and office space that is not only eco-friendly and energy-saving but also able to offer home care, security monitoring, intelligent lighting systems and a comfortable and healthy living environment. In pursuit of these goals, the TBTC has set up the Intelligent Buildings Research Group, which has been placing its main focus on Always Available and Accountable communications platforms, color and illumination systems, and energy conservation and ventilation.
(1) Intelligent Building Telecommunications Platforms The many person-to-person and person-to-building interactions within an intelligent building require a forward-looking communications network platform to serve as its nerve system. This particular research project, which aims to develop such a platform, is divided into three sub-projects: (A) auto-monitoring and multi-functional broadband integrated video systems; (B) broadband wireless network systems integration; (C) RFID systems and sensor network c o m p o n e n t s. We fo c u s o n t h e c o m p l e m e n t a r i t y and mutual enhancement of optical, wireless, and sensor networks, while emphasizing the ability of a communications network to stay up and running even in a catastrophe, thus achieving platform operations at an AAA (Always Available and Accountable) level.

(2) Color and Illumination I ntelligent and ergonomic illumination involves closely intertwined areas of research as well as factors having a significant impact on quality of life. This research group seeks to enhance the integration of these two aspects of illumination to produce the most healthful, colorful, and suitable sources of intelligent lighting for people’s lives. This research group has set up a specially designed laboratory to investigate the brightness and color temperature of different ambient light sources and how they affect eye comfort and fatigue as well as preferred color. The resulting data is being compiled into a database on image safety and lighting comfort to help designers create an optimal viewing environment for using the various sources of entertainment available in the home.
II. Life-Cycle System Design for Buildings Research Group (I) Building System Reliability (1) Building Life-Cycle Performance Evaluation and Decision Support Systems A building system consists of many sub -systems having both similar and dissimilar attributes. Such sub-systems include those for structure, construction, facilities and communications. Not only must the relationships among these sub-systems be considered, but also the fac t that the uncer tainties within a system change with the passage of time means that the influence of these changes on reliability, risk, and cost within the building system cannot be overlooked. Therefore, the focus of this research project is on developing an efficient method for computing the time - dependent reliability, risk and cost within a building system and then creating a support system for multiple-objective decision making.
Healthy Illumination
(3) Energy Conservation and Ventilation The research project has focused on using nanotechnology and opto- electronics to develop a kind of “intelligent ” glass that can provide heat insulation, power generation, and self cleaning. The project also seeks to develop “intelligent” equipment and technology that can implement an appropriate ventilation design for air and heat flows indoors and between the inside and the outside of the structure to build a comfortable and healthy living environment within the structure. This project hopes to develop advanced technology, design, and equipment that will make natural ventilation and energy conservation feasible in buildings. For example, we are especially proud of the new 3-in1 opto-electronic glass developed by Prof. Chin-Huai Young. The heat insulation, power generation and self cleaning properties of this new glass product have led to invitations to participate in exhibitions in Germany, Japan, and the United States, and it has already been successfully used in several buildings in Taiwan and abroad. As part of the team’s ongoing work in research and education, the 3-in-1 glass has been incorporated into a mobile version of our MEGA House demonstration model as well as the full-sized MEGA House building itself.

(II) Structural Performance (1) Development of New Generation Structures Through research and development on high per formance structural materials, structural components, and structural systems, the efficiency of the struc tural materials can be enhanced and the amount of both struc tural and construc tion materials used in buildings can be reduced. The major research focus for high per formance materials has been on high performance steels, which possess such characteristics as high strength, fire resistance, high ductility, and/or high weld ability. High performance concrete has also received considerable attention fo r i t s h i g h s t r e n g t h , l i g h t w e i g h t , a n d e a s e o f recycling. The use of such materials makes possible high per formance steel structures that can reduce their consumption and waste of materials as well as shrinking their carbon footprint.

The processes under study include using alkali-containing gel activated bonding materials; producing non-clinker cement by using gel theory to convert silica-aluminum material into a gel; recycling sewage, silt sediments, fly ash and bottom ash into green building materials; applying cold-bonding technology to create near-zero energy consumption light-weight aggregates; and converting waste glass and plastic waste into waterproof and fire-resistant materials. The goal of all these studies is to benefit the Earth through the development of technologies for energy conservation, recycling, and reducing our carbon footprint.
Th i s p ro j e c t ’s re s e a rc h i nve s t i g ate s h ow f a c i l i t y systems can provide open access and sustainable per formance, with special focus on breakthroughs in building drainage-system problems, development of power generation potential in future building system design, and systems for power management in buildings. This will involve estimating the lifespan of drainage pipe systems, designing zero-emission buildings, and developing facilities for rec ycling energy and power management, all of which will be gradually integrated into one system platform that will make possible overall estimates of cost and the feasibility of renovation and rec ycling. Currently, we are looking into the use of siphoning systems for drainage in open-access buildings, conducting feasibility studies on future building systems, planning for long-term building survivability, and setting up building power monitoring and management systems.

This research project seeks to conduct a complete, integrated examination of the renovation of existing buildings, through investigating their thermal environmental control, setting up renovation decision support systems, and integration of the building’s existing facilities with a ground source heat pump system. The project is divided into three main parts. The first concerns the renovation and reuse of existing buildings of historical value. The second looks at the special characteristics of heat transfer within existing building structures and its interface with a building’s facility systems. The third seeks to make breakthroughs in integrating an existing building with a ground source heat pump system.
