4 Intelligent System of Built Environment Life Cycle

Process for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.

Case Study: Energy-Efficient House Decision Support

Sub-System for Africa

Based on the analysis of existing intelligent systems a Intelligent System of Built

Environment Life Cycle Process for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

(IS-BELCP-CCMA) consisting of a database, database management system,

model-base, model-base management system and user interface was developed.

The following tables make IS-BELCP-CCMA database:

• Initial data tables. These contain general facts about the built environment and

climate change considered. The reasons of regenerating of built environment and

their significance as well as the money intended to be spent on it are also given.

• Tables assessing refurbishment of built environment solutions. They contain

quantitative and conceptual information about alternative of built environment

refurbishment solutions [as examples see Equity and Climate Change ( http://

• Tables of multi-variant design. They provide quantitative and conceptual

information on the interconnection of the elements of built environment to be
