Multimodel-Based Exploration of the Building Design Space and Its Uncertainty

Abstract

New challenges have raised in parallel to the expansion of Building Information Modeling (BIM) like applying it for optimizing building design already in early stages. This implies analysis of many changes in building design which should be all evaluated in terms of performance but also in terms of uncertainty. The presented research proposes a methodology and information models for enabling systematic and on-demand energy simulation of many building design scenarios.
