Parametric energy design

This research project aims to establish workflows and tools for a parametric energy-optimized development of urban structures. These are for example being used to determine the optimal envelope of a volume on a site within an urban context. The aim is to maximize the energy yield through the buildings envelope integrated solar modules and minimize the energy demand of the building. Another aspect to be reduced is the negative impact of solar gain of adjacent sites. Within this envelope, different building designs may be developed
