Evaluating the adaptability of an industrialized building using dependency structure matrices

摘要: A relatively neglected aspect of sustainable development is the creation an enduring built environment that can be adapted to suit changing circumstances. This presents a significant challenge: how evaluate building’s adaptability. The premise introduced adaptability enhanced through use analytical tools which provide better control system architecture enables easier, and less costly, user-driven adaptations. More specifically it investigates what dependency structure matrix (DSM), square (N × N) matrix-based model visualizes relationships between elements within system, reveal about capacity for industrialized building accommodate change, clustering impact analyses. Clustering analysis attempts assess on generic principles change by organizing into discrete modules, while examines propagation in 30 scenarios tracing dependencies DSM. Feasi...
