Abstract
This paper seeks to investigate methodology on the seamless integration for constructing a climate-conscious building envelope. The focus is targeted to provide architectural designers with an intelligent way to develop their design alternatives in the early phase of a project. Improved environmental performance can be achieved by using an optimised building envelope based on local data analysis. For tight integration, coupling of MATLAB and Rhino was employed through coding for real-time information exchanges. EnergyPlus and ECOTECT were implemented in the modelling process to simulate environmental performance. This process considers two cost functions: solar radiation and energy. Respective performance check-up runs into Multi-Objective Programming (MOP). Decision-making in MOP is optimised by using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), and culminated with Pareto efficiency. A sample experiment was conducted to test the methodology and results. The city, Moscow, having a conflicting claim of energy use reduc...
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology and Urban Development is the official publication of the Sustainable Building Research Center and serves as a resource to professionals and academics within the architecture and sustainability community. The International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology and Urban Development aims to support its academic community by disseminating studies on sustainable building technology, focusing on issues related to sustainable approaches in the construction industry to reduce waste and mass consumption, integration of advanced architectural technologies and environmentalism, sustainable building maintenance, life cycle cost (LCC), social issues, education and public policies relating to urban development and architecture .
