Energy Optimization Design Tool for Data-driven Building Massing

This project enhances the impact of a basic tool for early stage design decisions such as orientation,and building envelope composition on energy performance of the building. The proposed project adds the capabilities of the basic tool to drive, not only decisions regarding the design articulation of the building envelope, but also the design of the building geometry as a whole, in order to optimize the overall energy performance of the building. The tool will aim as well at integrating advanced building envelope systems (such as ventilated facades) with other building systems (e.g. HVAC/ electrical system).
