Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printed shelters are an innovative housing solution for those in need of a shelter after a disaster. The Middle East generated a huge number of refugees due to internal conflicts. The technology has been investigated earlier from a cost and time perspectives and has performed better than steel shelters in Jordan. This research article investigates environmental performance of 3D printed shelters in Jordan in terms of energy, fuel, cooling and ventilation. Syrian refugees of Jordanian camps were selected as a case study. The energy simulation of the steel shelter to that of a printed shelter showed that the latter can achieve higher ventilation rates, lower energy consumption, less electricity cost and better thermal insulation than steel shelters.

评估约旦3D打印避难所的环境性能

三维(3D)打印的避难所是一种创新的住房解决方案，为灾后需要庇护的人提供住所。中东地区由于内部矛盾，产生了大量的难民。早前就从成本和时间的角度对该技术进行了研究，并且比约旦的钢制避难所表现更好。这篇研究文章调查了约旦3D打印避难所在能源、燃料、冷却和通风方面的环境性能。选择约旦难民营的叙利亚难民作为案例研究。通过对钢质遮蔽物与印刷遮蔽物的能量模拟，结果表明，印刷遮蔽物比钢质遮蔽物具有更高的通风量、更低的能耗、更低的电费和更好的保温性。
