A truly "occupant-centric" building is one that places the user at the center of focus in relation to occupant friendliness, comfort and satisfaction. To answer the question of how a building may create an enriching human experience through smart design or innovation, it's important to start with the ultimate objectives of a building in the first place. First, to provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment for occupants, and second, to promote the occupants' well-being. - Tony Casalena, CCIM Why Occupant-centric Why occupant-centric Protect from wind and rain and trap the heat Why occupant-centric Life was getting better, if you could afford it. Why occupant-centric https://www.smh.com.au/national/why-5- We can now separate million-australians-can-t-get-to-work-home-or- building interiors from school-on-time-20190215-p50y1x.html ambient climatic conditions https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-12/magic- melbourne-tower-would-be-australias-tallest- building/9754652 Building and building typology Define the built environment Built environments = Buildings ?  Building Typology (by shape) https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/402087072957890687/  Building Typology (by surfaces) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306261919303319 Building Typology – NCC building classification Please check details here: https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/buildi ng/regulatory- framework/building-classes NCC – the minimum requirement of a building’s “sustainability” Indicators to measure the ‘sustainability”  United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 17 Sustainable Development Goals, 169 SDG Targets, 232 unique Indicators.  Building rating system: Green Star, WELL standard, LBC, etc.  Minimum requirement of a building’s “sustainability”?  NCC The aim of NCC is to mitigate risks to: Life safety. For example, when regulation of building work prevents the structural collapse of a building, or the risk of fire in a building. It can be used to protect health, amenity and accessibility. For example, managing issues such as dampness, lighting, ventilation and sound transmission, through to sanitation and appropriate access to and within a building. Energy and water security through minimum sustainability requirements through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency improvements, and through the conservation of water in buildings. If you have no prior experience with NCC…… I strongly recommend you to watch the YouTube video “Understanding the NCC” (~30 mins)  What the NCC is and what it contains.  How the NCC is organized.  Important terms used in the NCC. (DTS solutions)  Etc. To access the full copies of the NCC: visit “Further Materials” tile of your Moodle site.
