Holistic Quality Model for Extension of Existing Buildings

Research Project 18-2 (RP 18-2)

HOLISTIC QUALITY MODEL FOR EXTENSION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS: SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

We will extend the Holistic Quality Model (HQM) with its social, environmental and technical characteristics to include economic characteristics and the respective interrelations. Thus, all aspects of the sustainability triangle are considered within the HQM. This offers the possibility to interrelate e.g. economic and environmental aspects by providing the same result in terms of environmental quality at lower cost or in shorter time.

In IntCDC, various novel building systems (e.g. for fibre and bio-composites) are developed that require interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary research on quality modelling and assessment when adopting the HQM.

Holistic quality assessment is a challenge not only for newly planned buildings but also for the existing building stock. Concerning the latter, we will consider and acquire the starting/boundary conditions and establish new quality criteria for the different quality parameters in order to inform and support decision-making already at the earliest stage when the decision about extension/conversion vs. demolishing and building anew within the urban context is at stake. The HQM and the respective quality assessment will provide a methodical contribution for supporting these co-decisions.
