Computational support for the selection of energy saving building components
conference paper
This paper summarizes a PhD.-project that is
currently under completion at Delft University of
Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Building
Physics Group. The general problem addressed in
this project is the integration of building simulation
tools and building design. This problem has been
narrowed down to one specific type of building
design decision: the selection and integration of one
or more energy saving building components like solar
walls, advanced glazing systems, sunspaces and
photovoltaic arrays into a given building design.
The paper provides an overview of the main research
efforts that were carried out during the research (de
Wilde, 2003). Based on results and on views that
have been described in earlier publications (e.g. van
der Voorden et al., 2001) the paper then will identify
relevant, challenging issues for future research in the
area of integration of building simulation tools into
the building design process. Specific attention will be
paid to issues related to the use of different categories
of tools (simulation tools as well as other
instruments) for the development of new, energyefficient
building design concepts
