Addressing design preferences via auto-associative connectionist models: Application in sustainable architectural Façade design
(Automation in Construction, 2017)
Truly successful designs are characterized by both satisfaction of design goals and the presence of desirable physical features. Experienced design professionals are able to exercise their cognition to satisfy both aspects ...
Multi-Objective skylight optimization for a healthcare facility foyer space
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
In this paper, the design of a specific case study of a foyer space is concerned in healthcare facility. The design task of a healthcare facility in architectural perspective is one of the most challenging tasks in the ...
A multi-objective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm for conceptual high-rise building design
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
This paper presents a multi-objective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm to solve the form-finding problem of high-rise building design in the conceptual phase. The aim of the research is to reach suitable ...
Impacts of problem scale and sampling strategy on surrogate model accuracy: An application of surrogate-based optimization in building design
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable ...
Multi-objective optimization for shading devices in buildings by using evolutionary algorithms
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
The reduction of energy consumption is a major challenge around the world. Architectural aspects have a significant place to minimize energy consumption to the maximum level. The use of large glazed facades causes overheating ...
Multi-objective optimization through differential evolution for restaurant design
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
This paper presents the results obtained by NSGA-II and jDEMO on a restaurant design optimization in the conceptual phase. A multi-objective problem is formulated by considering the minimization of investment and the ...
Approximation of simulation-derived visual comfort indicators in office spaces: A comparative study in machine learning
(Architectural Science Review, 2016)
In performance-oriented architectural design, the use of advanced computational simulation tools may provide valuable insight during design. However, the use of such tools is often a bottleneck in the design process, given ...
Review of simulation modeling for shading devices in buildings
(Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016)
Many countries around the world are confronted with the challenge of decreasing energy consumption, while the use of electrical appliances is continuously increasing in buildings. The requirement to minimize the energy ...
Multi-objective diagrid facąde optimization using differential evolution
(2015 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2015 - Proceedings, 2015)
Facądes constitute one of the fundamental systems of contemporary buildings. They serve multiple purposes, such as to ensure proper indoor climate, to provide sufficient daylight, but also to create a desirable architectural ...
