MSc course's project - Advanced Computational Design 04
The goal in this project is to design a parametric shading system that maximizes solar heat gain in Winter and minimizes it in Summer, while providing a high level of daylighting and maintaining views.
Because of the difference in environmental conditions on each of the building's facades, this shading system is capable of wrapping all the way around the building, and applied parameters allow this shading device to function differently depending on orientation.
By using EnergyPlus, simulations that test the effectiveness of this shading system is produced. Based on simulation results, parameters that had the greatest impact on overall energy consumption are identified.
