| The need for a balance between Technical and Humanistic perspectives and between Energy and Nature is crucial. This discussion highlights the differences in the interdisciplinary authors’ team. There are also precise measurements needed, such as accurate figures in energy production or budgeting, and the importance of preserving Biodiversity, which can be accounted for through biodiversity credits or carbon credits as part of the same budget. Additionally, the topic encompasses the concept of double materiality, a widely discussed concept internationally. Understanding the reasons that drive the need for a taxonomy with environmental DNSH principles, the Knowledge vs Understanding spiral that expands and contracts scales and metrics in Nature, Energy, and Built environments, involving relevant multidisciplinary experts, is about conquering Understanding through multidisciplinary Knowledge. There is no single best option. It is about making compromises, rechecking, and reviewing the spiral as often as necessary. In particular cases, the technical design should be developed to apply any other necessary measures related to Built/heritage or Nature/Green, trees, or Nature/Biodiversity risks. The method was demonstrated in a particular water-related environment and explained the need to solve Energy-related risks following the other crucial issues in Nature & Built, which needed to be achieved, at least after the DNSH principles. The discussions will follow a technical approach related to other necessary studies. The case study is more about the conceptual design stage, proposing to achieve essential Energy without ignoring Nature or Built goals. It is so relevant for this preliminary design stage, when it is opportune to implement other goals, not just for solar Energy, that in the final stages, it will not be possible or at least more foreseeable if ignored from the beginning a proper conceptual design. | |
