Drivers of technology adoption the case of nanomaterials in building construction
论文题名译名
技术采用的驱动因素——建筑施工中的纳米材料
摘要
With the building and construction sector contributing significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, there is great demand for resource- and energy-efficient construction materials. Manufactured nanotechnology products (MNPs) are expected to realize resource and energy efficiency through performance improvements in the strength, lightness and insulating properties of construction materials. However, the actual adoption of MNPs has lagged. This article examines how the construction sector in the United States assesses MNPs for adoption. Through patent analysis and interviews, we gauge the supply of MNPs and identify actors' roles in technology adoption. Results indicate that awareness of MNPs is more extensive than anticipated. Yet, MNP adoption is limited by a multi-component technology assessment process focused primarily on the technology’s applicability to project-based outcomes. We conclude that barriers to MNP adoption can be overcome through intermediary activities such as product certification, comprehensive technology assessments, and “real-world” demonstrations.
中文摘要
由于建筑业对全球温室气体排放的贡献很大，对资源和节能建筑材料的需求很大。人造纳米技术产品有望通过提高建筑材料的强度、重量和绝缘性能来实现资源和能源效率。然而，多国方案的实际采用滞后。本文探讨了美国建筑业如何评估MNP以供采用。通过专利分析和访谈，我们衡量了MNP的供应，并确定了参与者在技术采用中的作用。结果表明，对多国方案的认识比预期的要广泛。然而，多国方案的采用受到多要素技术评估过程的限制，该评估过程主要侧重于技术对基于项目的成果的适用性。我们得出的结论是，可以通过诸如公关等中介活动来克服采用MNP的障碍
