效能

Performance

倡導（能源）效率很流行，因為它很容易做到。它不涉及政治風險，不設限制。這意味著沒有價值判斷。每個人都可以如以前一樣行事，只不過現(xiàn)在配備了節(jié)能技術(shù)。沒有人會反對，效率將必然會成為一種新的文化范式。但它永遠不會帶來啟示。

Advocating (energy) efficiency is popular because it is easy to do. It involves no political risks, it sets no limits. It implies no value judgment. Everyone can go on and do the same as before, but now equipped with energy saving technology. With no one objecting, efficiency is sure to become a new cultural paradigm. But it will never inspire.

陶氏化學公司自1941年以來一直在生產(chǎn)發(fā)泡聚苯乙烯。最初，它并非打著“綠色”產(chǎn)品的旗號，但現(xiàn)在則以此為品牌。經(jīng)濟前景很不錯：預計2020年全球產(chǎn)量將從2010年的1500萬t增加至2350萬t。

Dow Chemical Company has been producing foamed polystyrene since 1941. It wasn’t initially branded as a "green" product. Now it is. The economic prospects are good： world production is expected to increase from 15 million tons in 2010 to 23.5 million tons in 2020.

挪威政府已經(jīng)決定，從2015年起，所有新建住宅項目必須達到《被動式房屋標準》要求。這項名為TEK 15的新規(guī)定在建筑業(yè)引起轟動。

The Norwegian government has decided that from 2015, the Passive House Standard will be compulsory for all new residential projects. This new regulation, called TEK 15, is causing a stir among building professionals.

用計算機操縱氣候控制功能的高能效建筑就像是復雜的工具：在它們能充分發(fā)揮功能之前需要大量的調(diào)試。在這次居住后的評估中，氣候工程師檢查風流是否按照預期的路徑。

Energy-efficient buildings with computer steered climate-control features are like complex instruments： they need extensive tuning before they operate to their fullest capacity. In this postoccupancy evaluation climate engineers check whether wind streams follow the anticipated paths.

被動式房屋是一種保溫性能很好的房屋，采暖和制冷幾乎不需要額外能量。在通常情況下，由各種設備和居住者產(chǎn)生的熱量就足以確保舒適的室內(nèi)溫度。目前市場上出現(xiàn)了新的墻體系統(tǒng)，幫助人們達到《被動式房屋標準》規(guī)定的“超級保溫”水平。

A passive house is a house that is so well insulated that it requires almost no energy for heating or cooling. Often, the heat produced by the appliances and occupants, is enough to ensure comfortable indoor temperature. New wall systems are currently appearing on the market to help people attain "super-insulation" levels prescribed by the Passive House Standard.

被動式房屋規(guī)范強制規(guī)定了每平方米的最大能耗。乍一看，這似乎是一個客觀的衡量標準，但果真如此嗎？對一個住在小公寓中的5口之家的配額，實際上可能比一個獨自住在大別墅中的單身漢要低。

Passive norms impose a maximum consumption of energy per square meter. At first sight this might seem an objective measure, but is it? The quota for a family of 5 living in a small apartment could actually be lower than that of a bachelor living alone in a big villa.

聚氨酯 （PU）泡沫是兩種液體化學品和一種發(fā)泡劑之間反應的結(jié)果。該材料極佳的粘合力意味著膨脹泡沫通常是直接涂到表面上用于保溫隔熱，這使得它很容易填充氣體。

Polyurethane (PU) foams are the result of a reaction between two liquid chemicals and a foaming agent. The excellent adhesive qualities of the material mean that the expansive foam is usually applied directly onto the surface intended for insulation which makes it easy to fill with gas.

被動式房屋必須是密閉的。稍微有一點漏氣都會讓室內(nèi)的熱量跑掉。被動式房屋外墻上的任何穿孔都會產(chǎn)生問題。被動式房屋會消耗大量的膜和膠帶等粘接產(chǎn)品來保持氣密性。

Passive houses must be virtually air-tight. The slightest air leak lets indoor heat escape. Any perforation of the outer wall of a passive house poses a problem. Passive houses consume large amounts of membranes and a whole set of tapes and other adhesive products to remain air-tight.

在一切都變得荒唐可笑之前你又能隔離多少？一些建筑師指出，建筑構(gòu)件需要大量的能源來生產(chǎn)。在某些情況下，這種所謂的“隱含能源”抵消了它們節(jié)約的能源。

How much can you insulate before it all becomes ridiculous? Some Architects point out that building components require a lot of energy to produce. In some cases, this so called "embodied energy" offsets the energy economy they offer.

高效保溫建筑的通風率比傳統(tǒng)建筑低得多，這使得室內(nèi)空氣質(zhì)量成為一個關鍵的問題。反對者總是指出，這個問題被低估了。

Highly insulated buildings have far lower ventilation rates than conventional buildings, this makes indoor air quality a critical issue. Opponents of the passive obligation regularly point out that this issue is underestimated.

評論

周宇舫：以當下的技術(shù)，人類有能力建造絕對意義上的可控生存環(huán)境，但意義何在？材料技術(shù)的革命，提供了保證物理性舒適度的可能，但回溯幾千年人類生存的狀態(tài)，我們與自然的關系是什么？顯然不是在被保溫板圍合起來的盒子里舒服的感覺。材料效能的提升應該建立在對于自然環(huán)境的尊重的態(tài)度上，當我們以節(jié)能為名趨向真空時，是否應該適當?shù)赝Ｏ聛?，問問自身的適應能力，亦即人類的自然性。

孫凌波：這里所展示的是工程師們研究得出的各種高能效的技術(shù)或產(chǎn)品，這無疑是值得肯定的人類文明的結(jié)晶。不過，單一技術(shù)或產(chǎn)品的局限性，也極有可能帶來對“能效”的理解上的誤讀和濫用，甚至形成更為嚴重的浪費。但這不應成為建筑師冷嘲熱諷、拒絕學習的理由，一個好的建筑師還是應該去了解這些技術(shù)，并知道如何將其適宜地應用到自己的設計中。

Comments

ZHOU Yufang:With the state of current technology, people are able to establish absolute control over their living environment. But what meaning does this have? The evolution of building materials and technologies provides the possibility of physical comfort but thinking back over thousands of years of human dwelling, what has it done to the relationship we have with nature? In our boxes encased in polyethylene foam, is our hard won comfort really comfortable? The improvement of materials should be established upon a foundation of respect for the natural environment. When we turn on an "energy saving" vacuum shouldn't we pause a moment to think-to consider our fit in that same environment, the nature part of human being?

SUN Lingbo: The high efficiency technologies and products shown here are undoubtedly great engineering achievements. But the particular limitations of each of these efforts technique could very well lead to misunderstanding about the "performance" topic, confusion which could cause more serious waste. It is the architect's responsibility to learn about advanced technologies and to use them properly.

The inner and the outer shell of the house, both of massive wood, are separated by a continuous layer of mineral wool and airtight membranes. To protect these components from the elements during construction, a temporary tent had to built over the site.

10 一家加拿大公司發(fā)明的聚氨酯泡沫樣品。它符合嚴格的國家環(huán)境法規(guī)。與其他國家相比，這些環(huán)境法規(guī)出臺時間較早。這種泡沫之所以“綠色”，是因為與傳統(tǒng)的聚氨酯泡沫不同，當它的兩個組分反應時不會釋放有害的化學物質(zhì)。

Sample of a polyurethane foam invented by a Canadian company. It complies with strict national environmental regulations. Compared to other countries, these environmental regulations were introduced early on. The foam is touted "green" because, contrary to traditional PU-foams, it doesn't release harmful chemicals when its two components react.
