Prof. Volker Hartkopf

建筑学教授

建筑性能与诊断中心主任

卡耐基梅陇大学

Professor of Architecture, Director
Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics
Carnegie Mellon University
 

     自1972年起，Hartkopf教授在卡耐基梅陇大学任教，其工作涵盖了诸多重要领域：国际交流、学术研究与建筑集成、先进技术、建筑节能、城市再生与第三世界居住和灾害预防等领域的专业咨询。在德国、孟加拉国、秘鲁与美国，他是著名的建筑师，同时也为沃尔夫斯堡市、2000年汉诺威世博会、柏林-利希滕贝格市等提供了总体规划咨询。

     在1975年，Hartkopf教授发起并领导了美国国家基金与建筑产业的首届建筑、工程与规划跨学科项目。 在1981年，他协同创办了卡耐基梅陇大学的建筑性能与诊断中心（CBPD）。在1981到1985年期间，Hartkopf教授与Vivian Loftness，Peter A.D. Mill领导了在加拿大的公共建筑产品的建筑性能评价方法项目。基于建筑性能研发需求，Hartkopf教授发起了先进建筑系统集成联盟（ABSIC），吸纳了建筑产业领域领袖、六个美国政府部门、两个国际政府机构与卡梅隆大学。自从1988年运行后，该联盟展示出其在物理、环境和社会领域的先进性。先进建筑系统集成联盟与卡耐基梅陇大学合作期间，成立并运行了1997年建立的Robert L Preger的智能工作空间。近期，先进建筑系统集成联盟第二个十年规划提出了三个长期研发项目：生产力协议（Productivity Protocol），建筑投资决策支持工具（Building Investment Decision Support Tool）与建筑发电（Building as Power Plant）项目。

     通过对理念、先进技术、建筑性能决策的集成应用，建筑性能与诊断中心完成了在美国、德国、中国、韩国和法国等多地的多个项目。由Hartkopf教授领导的团队通过这些研究项目收获了众多国家级奖项。其中包括了在澳大利亚、欧洲和亚洲教育与主旨演讲大奖，学术发表100余篇。与此同时，他持续为众多企业和政府部门提供决策咨询，包括大众、法国电气、西门子、美国能源部等。近期，中心重点关注建筑发电项目。该项目被美国国会评为建筑先进技术的基准性项目，并将在卡耐基梅龙大学校园内6500平方米的范围内建成试验。

     该项目将融合先进的建筑效能技术与更新一代能源建筑，如加热、制冷、通风与照明，通过结合真实环境，尽可能最大化新能源的应用，并进一步推广至全国和国际的更多项目。

      Since 1972, Professor Hartkopf has been teaching and conducting research at Carnegie Mellon University. His work covers a broad range of activities: international initiatives, funded research and professional consulting on building systems integration, advanced technology, building performance, energy conservation, urban revitalization, third-world housing and disaster prevention. He has realized as an architect building projects in Germany, Bangladesh, Peru and the United States. He also led masterplanning efforts for Volkswagen A.G. and the City of Wolfsburg, Germany; EXPO 2000 Hanover and Berlin-Lichtenberg, Germany.

     In 1975, Prof. Hartkopf co-initiated and subsequently directed the first multi-disciplinary program in Architecture, Engineering and Planning in the USA with grants from the National Science Foundation and the building industry. In 1981, he co-founded the Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics (CBPD) at Carnegie Mellon. Between 1981-1985, Prof. Hartkopf developed jointly with Vivian Loftness and Peter A.D. Mill, the Total Building Performance Evaluation Method at Public Works Canada whilst on an Executive Interchange Program. Based on the R & D needs in building performance, Prof. Hartkopf has created and directs the Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium (ABSIC), comprising leading building industries, six U.S. government agencies, two foreign governmental agencies and Carnegie Mellon. In operation since 1988, the consortium’s research and demonstration effort focuses on the impact of advanced technology on the physical, environmental, and social settings in office buildings, towards creating high performance work environments. ABSIC, in cooperation with Carnegie Mellon, has designed, constructed and maintained the Robert L Preger Intelligent Workplace, officially opened in the winter of 1997. Currently a second 10-year strategic plan is being pursued by ABSIC through three long-term R&D projects: the Productivity Protocol, the Building Investment Decision Support Tool and the Building as Power Plant.

     The Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics, an NSF/IUCRC, has been instrumental in the application of systems integration concepts, advanced technologies and performance-based decision making for significant building projects in the USA Germany, China, Korea and France. The CBPD team with Prof. Hartkopf’s leadership has received numerous prestigious national awards for research. An award winning teacher and a frequent keynote speaker in Australia, Europe, Asia and the Americas, he has authored over 100 technical publications. He continues his consulting with such organizations as DaimlerChrysler, Volkswagen, Thyssen Krupp, Electricite de France, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Energy, and Siemens.

     Currently, Prof. Hartkopf is leading the Building as Power Plant (BAPP) project. The BAPP has been selected by the US Congress as the National Test-bed for Advanced Technology in Building. The 6,500 m2 project will be realized on the Carnegie Mellon Campus. The BAPP will integrate advanced energy-effective building technologies with innovative energy generation systems, such that all of the buildings energy needs for heating, cooling, ventilating and lighting, as well as equipment are met on-site, maximizing the use of renewable energies. Broader implementation of its concepts in industry and government here and abroad are expected.
