The document provides information about the 2016 SJTU-NTNU Summer School of Sustainable Energy in Cities. The summer school was an interdisciplinary course that brought together 60 students from NTNU, SJTU, and other Chinese universities to focus on developing sustainable energy solutions for cities. Students worked in teams on a project to design a scientific research facility for Jiuduansha Wetland using bioclimatic and renewable energy strategies. They were expected to present preliminary designs after the first week and final designs addressing energy performance, environmental impact, and social/cultural perspectives. The goal was to train students in interdisciplinary collaboration to plan and design urban energy systems more sustainably.

Course Introduction

5. A systemic approach for integrated urban energy planning and design
can increase energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources and
bioclimatic design to lower the energy footprint also at district or city
scale. Such a systemic approach requires experts that are not just
proficient in their distinct energy-related disciplines, but, above all, that
are trained in interdisciplinary project cooperation.

6. Why are so many group work in the schedule?

7. Interdisciplinary project cooperation

Experts in teams: interdisciplinary training of students and staff;
Triple helix: local industry and municipality officials suggested
specific challenges for the students to address and solve in
cooperation with researchers from NTNU and SJTU;
Out of the lab, into the city: SEniC 2016 used Shanghai City as an
Urban Lab for gathering empirical evidence and developing
solutions.

A young island, emerged in 1950’s Located at the mouth of the
Yangtze river (31°03'N~-31°17'N; 121°46'E-122°15'E)
Area: 423.2 sq. km above -6 m, 114.6 sq. km at the elevation of
the sea level.

• A representative of coastal ecosystems in eastern China
• High ecosystem service value
• Sensitive to global change (sea level rise)
• Simplicity of ecosystem structure
• Influence of compositional changes (exotic plants, Spartina
alterniflora)
• An excellent model ecosystem for addressing many ecological
issues like community succession and nutrient cycling and
ecosystem ecology.

A scientific research facility Design in Jiuduansha
• For 2-5 researchers who can live in the facility for days.
• The floor area should be included the range of space of
150-200 m2
• Functions of the building: mixed use of living and
working space (housing + office + laboratory)
• Use of bioclimatic strategies and renewable energy
sources integrated in the building’s design from the early
design phases.
• Local climate-adaptation: the building design should
consider the adaptation of climate change in Shanghai.
• The building needs to be environmental friendly and in
harmony with the ecosystem of Jiuduansha Wetland now
and in the future scenario
• Using appropriate energy supply systems and integrate
renewable energy sources to maximize the energy
efficiency of the building and reach a low carbon or zero
emission target now and in the future scenario.

Expected outcomes
End of first week_Midterm presentation
Format and timing: PPT presentation (20 minutes)
Deliverable: Report draft / Power Point presentation
During the midterm presentation students should give evidence
of a significant progress in their architectural design from
concept into a preliminary project. Beside concept sketches and
physical models (paper, cardboard or other material) students
should present a clearer solution for the program, its logistics
and distribution within the building form at an appropriate scale.
Zoning should take into account environmental requirements of
all the spaces within the program giving evidence of bioclimatic
strategies, integration of renewable source, energy supply
system employed for optimizing the building environmental and
energy performance now and in the future scenario. The
presentation should also show how social and cultural
perspectives are reflected in the project design and approach.
