Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary Method for Prospective Analysis of the Circadian Efficacy of (Day)Light with Applications to Healthcare Architecture
TL;DR: The climate-based Daylight Autonomy (DA) metric was chosen to simulate the probabilistic and temporal potential of daylight for human health needs and was applied to study the impact of key architectural decisions on achieving prescribed stimulus of the circadian system in a hospital patient room design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating thermal comfort field data analysis in a case-based building simulation environment
Satish Kumar,Ardeshir Mahdavi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an integrated simulation environment SEMPER that allows for multiple performance evaluation including thermal comfort analysis from a shared object model of building and discuss the results of a detailed thermal comfort analyzer performed to find the reasons for the discrepancy between the predicted and observed values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bi-directional computational design support in the SEMPER environment
TL;DR: In this article, a computational environment for bi-directional multi-domain building design support is presented, which is based on the SemPER framework, and the overall structure and salient features of this computational environment are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
GESTALT: A Prototypical Realization of an Open Daylighting Simulation Environment
Combining annual daylight simulation with photobiology data to assess the relative circadian efficacy of interior spaces
TL;DR: Outcomes of photobiology research are used to define threshold values for lighting, which will be used as goals in simulations and the variability of key architectural decisions in hospital room design— orientation, window size, and glazing material—are studied for their impact on achieving the goals.

Tradeoff diagrams for the integrated design of the physical environment in buildings
Antony D. Radford,John S. Gero +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the form and application of environmental tradeoff diagrams as an alternative computer aid for the design of the physical environment in buildings, which are generated using a mathematical model of building/environment behaviour imbedded within an optimization problem formulation.

On optimization in computer aided architectural design
Antony D. Radford,John S. Gero +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that optimization models are particularly well suited to the provision of design information because they produce results which are prescriptive, express design options and address the problems of the stability and sensitivity of solutions to changes over time.
