Multi-sensory solutions for increasing human-building resilience in face of climate change

Descripción del proyecto

Mejora de la resiliencia de las personas y los edificios mediante múltiples estímulos sensoriales

Resulta necesario aumentar la resiliencia ante el cambio climático tanto de las personas como de los edificios donde estas viven y trabajan. Las soluciones actuales suelen abordar únicamente estímulos sensoriales singulares, como factores desencadenantes térmicos; sin embargo, las personas están constantemente expuestas a múltiples estímulos, como desencadenantes asociados a la temperatura o a la contaminación lumínica, acústica y atmosférica, que interactúan entre sí. El proyecto MuSIC, financiado por las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se concentrará en los edificios ya existentes en Europa y formará a diez jóvenes investigadores para estudiar estas interacciones y mejorar nuestra comprensión y capacidad de predicción de soluciones relacionadas centradas en las personas. El equipo de MuSIC concibe las ciudades con espacios interiores y exteriores más sostenibles y habitables.

Objetivo

Climate change is leading to more frequent and severe extreme climate phenomena, affecting both vulnerable subpopulations like children, the elderly and the poor, and healthy and well-being people. To increase human-building resilience against climate change, active building solutions are often sought and promoted, however, they require a substantial energy use and thereby generate further environmental impact and/or lead to adverse effects like increased noise or pollutions. Also, these solutions protect from exposures rather than actually increasing human resilience. On the contrary, passive and hybrid solutions do not contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions but are often regarded as less robust and predictable and are affected by design challenges and potential rebound effects. For example, increased use of solar shading may affect lighting requirements, and night-time ventilation may influence indoor noise levels. With this multi-disciplinary multi-sectoral MSCA doctoral network, MuSIC will address these challenges within the context of the existing European building stock and will provide solutions from the human-centred viewpoint. 5 academic and 1 non-academic beneficiaries together with 2 academic and 3 non-academic associated partners will strive for educating the next generation of highly qualified young professionals able to provide future generations with more liveable and sustainable indoor and outdoor spaces in and management systems of cities by applying cutting-edge solutions, multi-sensory and multi-dimensional research and industrial development. 10 early-stage researchers will experience interdisciplinary and intersectoral training modules on science and technology as well as transferable skills and conduct individual R&D projects for improved understanding and predictability of human reactions and innovative human-centric building- and community-related solutions for increasing human-building resilience in the face of climate change.
