Abstract

Buildings continue to become more complex and must meet stringent energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and other project requirements which often have competing goals. Green building design calls for integrated and coordinated design process. Although software exists for either performance simulation or planning, none integrates both functions to support multi-disciplinary design team coordination and integrated energy and IEQ analysis from early to final design stages. This study explores methodologies, and develops a software framework to address this knowledge gap. An example is given to show how the software can be used to assist collaborative and integrated design for complex green building design.
