Toward an EnergyPlus decision tool for evaluation of energy performances during early-stage building design
The paper analyses the benefits of energy analysis application in early-stage design. The research highlights the barriers that prevent this early integration and finally proposes the development of a simplified software tool tailored around the optimization of energy efficiency during early-stage design. Generally, the research aims to identify (a) the accuracy in results obtainable through pr...
متن کاملReality-based Simulation of User Behaviour within the Built Environment to Support the Early Stages of Building Design
This paper describes the framework of a multi-agent system approach for investigating visualized simulated pedestrian activity and behaviour within a building. This system can be used to support the assessment of design performance. Visualization is of critical importance in improving the readability of design representations. Performance indicators of buildings depend on user reactions to desi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Simulation-based Decision Support Tool for Renewable Energy Integration and Demand-supply Matching
This paper describes a simulation-based decision support tool, MERIT, which has been developed to assist in the assessment of renewable energy systems by focusing on the degree of match achievable between energy demand and supply. Models are described for the prediction of the performance of PV, wind and battery technologies. These models are based on manufacturers’ specifications, location-rel...
متن کاملSimulation optimization-based decision support tool for steel manufacturing
To buffer against increasing global competition and variability in the price of raw materials, steel manufacturers continuously strive to improve operations and lower costs. In this research, we employ a simulation optimization approach to develop a decision support tool to aid in strategic and operational decision-making. Specifically, we investigate work-in-process inventory levels and potent...
متن کاملMultiagent Based Simulation Tool for Transportation and Logistics Decision Support
A transportation and logistics domain belongs to complex problems domains because there are many geographically distributed companies who may enter or leave the system at any time. Analysis of the great number of publications reveals that although traditional mathematical modelling and simulation techniques still dominate, new approaches start to appear. Agent technologies and multiagent system...
