Does Intentional Psychology Need Vindicating by Cognitive Science?

I argue that intentional psychology does not stand in need of vindication by a lower-level implementation theory from cognitive science, in particular the representational theory of mind (RTM), as most famously Jerry Fodor has argued. The stance of the paper is novel in that I claim this holds even if one, in line with Fodor, views intentional psychology as an empirical theory, and its theoretical posits as as real as those of other sciences. I consider four metaphysical arguments for the idea that intentional psychological states, such as beliefs, must be seen as requiring in-the-head mental representations for us to be able to understand their characteristic causal powers and argue that none of them validly generate their desired conclusions. I go on to argue that RTM, or some computational version thereof, is not motivated by appeal to the nature of cognitive science research either. I conclude that intentional psychology, though an empirical theory, is autonomous from details of lower level mechanism in a way that renders RTM unwarranted.

First evidence for the reliability of building co-heating tests

This paper provides powerful evidence empirically demonstrating for the first time the reliability of the co-heating test. The test is widely used throughout Europe to measure the total heat transfer through the fabric of buildings and to calculate the heat-transfer coefficient (HTC; units W/K). A reliable test is essential to address the ‘performance gap’, where in-use energy performance is consistently, and often substantially, poorer than predicted. The co-heating test could meet this need, but its reliability requires confirmation. Seven teams independently conducted co-heating tests on the same detached house near Watford, UK. Despite differences in the weather and in the experimental and analytical approaches, the teams’ final reported HTC measurements were within ±10% of the mean. With further standardization it is likely to be possible to improve upon this reproducibility. Furthermore, uncertainty analysis based upon a 95% confidence interval resulted in an estimated uncertainty in HTC measurements of ±8%. This research addresses persistent doubts about the reliability of the co-heating test. Avenues to further improvement of the test are discussed. This work helps to enable the test’s wider adoption as a component of the regulatory process and thus improvements to standards of house construction.     

“隐性置换”——满族传统民居当代发展模式初探

满族民居作为东北地区长期存在的一种民居类型,在外观特征,建筑方法,以及居住习惯上都具有典型的民族性与地域性。近些年来,随着经济发展,满族民居同其他民居建筑一样受到现代居住建筑的强烈冲击。本文认为,对民居进行“隐性置换”是使满族民居重获活力的必要途径。只有通过对满族民居建筑本身内部的结构和设备等方面进行更新,以及继承汲取满族民居精神实质与文化内涵,将之应用于现代建筑设计中的双重置换,才能使古老的满族民居重获新生。     

齐鲁民间服饰纹样文化的应用设计研究

为了使齐鲁民间服饰纹样更好地传承发展,赋予齐鲁民间服饰文化新的生命力,文章以齐鲁民间服饰纹样为研究对象,通过梳理当前国内外纹样设计发展趋向,汇总民间实地走访考察数据,对齐鲁民间服饰纹样在造型艺术、色彩艺术、情感艺术等方面的特点系统分析,同时选取与重构其中几种代表性纹样元素符号在服饰设计等领域加以应用实践,进而探究它们的创新设计手法。研究结果表明:在当前时代背景下突显齐鲁民间服饰纹样图案特色,构建蕴含在它们其中的文艺创新设计方法,将会进一步激发齐鲁民间服饰纹样的文化设计活力,为深化当代服饰产品设计的形态创新注入了新的思考。

Life cycle inventory of buildings: A contribution analysis

A companion paper presented the life cycle inventory (LCI) calculation model for buildings as a whole, developed within a global methodology to optimise low energy buildings simultaneously for energy, environmental impact and costs without neglecting the boundary conditions for thermal comfort and indoor air quality. This paper presents the results of a contribution analysis of the life cycle inventory of four typical Belgian residential buildings. The analysis shows the relative small importance of the embodied energy of a building compared to the energy consumption during the usage phase. This conclusion is even more valid when comparing the embodied energy of energy saving measures with the energy savings they realise. In most studied cases, the extra embodied energy for energy saving measures is gained back by the savings in less than 2 years. Only extremely low energy buildings might have a total embodied energy higher than the energy use of the utilisation phase. However, the sum of both remains small and the energy savings realised with these dwellings are large, compared to the energy consumption of average dwellings.
