As volumetric modular construction is gaining attention worldwide, there is a growing
interest in the representation and model-based data exchange for modular buildings to …

Due to the critical need for reducing carbon emissions, the demand for energy-efficient
building design is urgent. Studies have shown that space layouts affect energy performance …

Buildings' energy consumption has a great energetic and environmental impact worldwide.
The architectural design has great potential to solve this problem because the building …

Recent research on identification of user barriers for the adoption of building performance
simulation (BPS) tools indicates that architects wants to use the output from BPS to inform …

Building performance evaluation is generally carried out through a non-automated process,
where computational models are iteratively built and simulated, and their energy demand is …

This paper presents a computational design exploration method called GA+ TRIZ, which
aids designers in defining the design problem clearly, making a parametric model where …

The environmental performance of existing buildings can have a major role in achieving
significant reductions in CO 2 emissions: In the UK, around 75% 2050's housing stock has …

In this study, we introduce a newly developed method called Deep-Performance, to enable
automatic environmental performance simulation prediction without the need to perform …

Because the optimisation of various building components and structural systems is often
performed in isolation, this study developed an integrated approach for the optimisation of …

The environmental performance of existing buildings can have a major role in achieving the
CO2 reduction targets, set out by the UK government. In the UK, new buildings account for …
