Measurement of Regional Bone and Bone Marrow Blood Flow in the Rabbit Using the Hydrogen Washout Technique

Abstract

Improving the built environment is a cornerstone for sustainable development ultimately leading to Zero Energy Buildings; there is the urgent need for innovation. The urgent need for innovative and a more sustainable built environment has led to a more complex design process. As a result, the architect requires increasing support from specialised engineers in multi–disciplinary design teams. A design method was developed, based on the use of morphological charts and a morphological overview, to support design teams with structuring and organising their communication and knowledge. After testing the method in workshops in industry, it was applied at the department of architecture for master students for their multidisciplinary master project, integral design of a nearly Zero Energy Building. Our experiments showed that it is possible to stimulate the innovative outcome of multidisciplinary design teams within the conceptual building design phase by changing their traditional roles into new team's roles.
