Preliminary Study on Data-driven Building Intelligent Design Program

Gesture-Driven System for Intelligent Building Control

In recent years, intelligent building systems have become standard in residential buildings as well as commercial buildings. This chapter presents a novel system for controlling such buildings using natural user interfaces. Due to advanced logic, it is capable of identifying people occupying defined areas and recognizing their gestures. The system cooperates with a Domatiq System – Intelligent ...

Case Based Preliminary Building Design

A team of civil engineers, architects and computer scientists is using CaseBased Design (CBD) as an approach for integrating preliminary architectural and structural design. This approach focuses on dimensional and topological adaptation of geometric models of existing buildings in order to find solutions for new design problems. An advantage of such an approach is that a case is used in which ...

Data-Driven Program Completion

We introduce program splicing, a programming methodology that aims to automate the commonly used workƒow of copying, pasting, and modifying code available online. Here, the programmer starts by writing a “dra‰” that mixes un€nished code, natural language comments, and correctness requirements in the form of test cases or API call sequence constraints. A program synthesizer that interacts with a...

Towards Data-driven Building Retrofit

Due to the relatively low construction rate of new buildings in Europe, the energetic performance of the building stock can mainly be improved by retrofitting existing buildings. Current methods to derive and assess retrofit measures require either on-site inspection by an expert consultant and code based approaches, or numerical simulations using a building energy model that needs to be first ...
