Liam Hendricken, an AE graduate and now PhD student at Drexel, sent me the following link to the results of a competition in which simulation and analysis of designs was critical in the judging. I’d expect that you’ll see more and more of this kind of evaluation of designs in future, with the analysis made possible by increasingly capable BIM software.
Design Optimisation Competition
The purpose of the Design Optimisation Competition was to promote awareness of a new breed of optimisation tools which can help with decision making at any stage of the design process. These tools provide powerful techniques for identifying optimal designs that meet potentially conflicting design requirements such as minimising environmental impact while also minimising development costs and at the same time satisfying constraints such as providing minimum levels of occupant comfort and daylighting.
The competition is organsed by the ADOPT research group:
More details on the competition, how it was organised, the rules etc can be found further down the page, but first here are the results.
