Abstract

This research aims to provide the shelter design called R3ER (Resilient, Equitable, Environmental, Energy efficiency, Rapid) in a modularized based-3Dprinting construction method. The R3ER entails an energy-efficient design that showed a lower EUI compared to the benchmark EUI approved by ASHRAE Standards Committee. Additionally, the provided shelter R3ER has multiple uses such as disaster relief shelter, office, and hospital which can justify the environmental justice. Therefore, the R3ER will give stakeholders such as emergency planning commissions, third-party organizations, and construction managers/engineers a resource to maximize the non-monetary and monetary benefits of use of this type of shelter in their community. As a result, the communities would not only (1) be less exposed to disaster damage or less vulnerable to disaster impacts but also (2) ensure maximum utilization of the limited resources to reach out to a larger number of people who might be facing it.

Keyphrases: 3D printing, energy efficiency, Jump into STEM, modularization, Shelter design
