چکیده
Title of thesis: COMPUTATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR PARAMETRIC MODELING AND ARCHITECTURE-ENERGY ASSESSMENT OF BUILDING FLOORPLANS Eddie Tseng, Master of Science, 2015 Thesis directed by: Associate Professor Mark Austin Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and ISR Modern building systems can be exceedingly complex. In this research we develop a computational framework for the parametric modeling and architecture-energy assessment of building floorplans. Parametric representations of floorplans are formulated as multi-layer hierarchies, with adjacent layers coupled by dependency relationships. Software is developed for two approaches to floorplan specification: (1) scripting, and (2) interactive graphical techniques. Computational procedures are developed for assessment of building code regulations, electricity cost assessment, and simplified HVAC component selection and architecture-energy sensitivity analysis. A case study analysis of a two-apartment building system is presented.

متن کاملParametric Study of the Impact of Windows to Wall Ratio on Reduction of Energy Consumption and Environmental Impact of a Zero-Energy Building in Different Orientations
Nowadays, the increase of fossil fuel consumption intensifies the crucial role of architects. As buildings consume over one-third of the used energy, the society of architects is held responsible for this consumption. Therefore, the amount of energy used by a building is directly related to its design; meaning that reduction of energy consumption should be targeted at the design stage. In this ...
