ITERATIONS - second round

BUILDING LENGTH: 15M, 20M 18 iterations

ARCH 7530 - Building Performance Simulation Hardi Shah construction type: masonry, wood, steel-framed inputs r-VALUE: r-13, r-17, r-21 by avg udiby % comfort i assumed the wwr that were the best performing per iteration 1. now testing the two building lengths that we concluded, with the other parameters for a focus on energy and comfort. the best u-value and wwrs are the same in both iterations so that was established as the new baseline.

The iterations were set up in two steps: the first would address the balance between daylight and thermal comfort while the second step would focus on reducing overall EUI.

Decision Making Sequence

I prioritized choosing the highest comfort in this filtering process and then choosing the highest corresponding daylight values from there. The resulting total and heating EUI were second lowest in the options while still providing higher thermal comfort. We have two resulting options.
