USING PARAMETRIC ALGORITHMS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ENERGY OPTIMIZATION OF BUILDING SKINS

Abstract

As a result of the continuous increase in the need for energy, the construction industry focuses more on energy efficient buildings and systems. In this process, the concept of “performance” can be considered as the key issue behind the design’s decisions. From this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate how parametric modeling techniques and algorithms can be used together with to optimize building energy performance. The study is conducted through descriptive method and case study analysis covering recently designed four pioneering examples. Consequently, design samples were examined and evaluated within the framework of energy optimization on the building skin.
