PROJECT STATEMENT | 项目说明
Collaborating with landscape architects and water resources engineers, this project explored how to optimize LID facilities spatial layout by establishing a quantitative method for advancing runoff reduction under the different construction cost conditions. Through coupling with MultiObjective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) and Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), it develops a LID Cost-Benefit Analysis Model to visualize the layout and cost of LID facilities.
该项目与景观设计师和水资源工程师合作，探索如何在不同的建设成本条件下，通过建立促进径流减少的定量方法来优化LID设施的空间布局。通过与多目标进化算法(MOEA)和雨水管理模型(SWMM)的耦合，建立了LID成本效益分析模型，实现了LID设施布局和成本的可视化。
The output of the project includes both online and offline tools:
(1) Consulting: Our team can provide consulting services to LID projects under the online request. This includes, but not limited to: tool usage, condition and feasibility evaluation of LID facility, and site-based “higher-performance and lower-cost” LID layout.
(2) Training：By adopting the online toolkit, landscape architects can easily learn how to use the LCC calculator to get the Life Cycle Cost of their projects. Through a detailed online tutorial of our website, they can learn how to obtain the optimal LID layout with a quantitative method in the testing area. Also, they can easily obtain a set of plans by downloading an offline toolkit from the web, which includes detailed pricing and layouts presented in graphical form for decision making.
(3) Promotion and Education: The application of the framework into LID projects will not only contribute to increasing the quantity of LID practices and improving the quality of LID facility layout plan, but also promote the concept of “higher-performance and lower-cost”. Thus, it will encourage people to make full use of limited resources in a sustainable and efficient manner.
项目输出包括在线和离线工具:
(1)咨询:我们的团队可以根据在线请求为LID项目提供咨询服务。这包括但不限于:工具使用、LID设施的条件和可行性评估，以及基于现场的“更高性能和更低成本”的LID布局。
(2)培训:通过采用在线工具包，景观设计师可以轻松学习如何使用LCC计算器来获得项目的生命周期成本。通过我们网站的详细在线教程，他们可以学习如何在测试区域用定量方法获得最佳的LID布局。此外，他们可以通过从网上下载离线工具包轻松获得一套计划，其中包括详细的定价和以图形形式呈现的布局，以供决策。
(3)推广和教育:将该框架应用于LID项目，不仅有助于增加LID实践的数量，提高LID设施布局规划的质量，而且有助于推广“高绩效、低成本”的理念。因此，它将鼓励人们以可持续和有效的方式充分利用有限的资源。
In doing so, we believe that the adaptive framework can help project owner, designers and engineers better quantify the cost and reduce the LID facilities. It will contribute to improving the resilience of cites to enhance the quality and quantity of LID practices worldwide significantly by coping with urban waterlogging and climate change. Also, it will contribute to promoting the idea‘higher-performance and lower-cost’as the core value of the project for UN SDGs.
在此过程中，我们相信自适应框架可以帮助项目所有者、设计师和工程师更好地量化成本并减少LID设施。通过应对城市内涝和气候变化，它将有助于提高城市的复原力，从而显著提高全球LID实践的质量和数量。此外，它将有助于促进“更高性能和更低成本”的理念作为联合国可持续发展目标项目的核心价值。
