Innovative design tool for the optimization of blast-enhanced facade systems

open access: yesJournal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2015
In current blast enhancement design strategies, to resist the effects of an accidental explosion, a facade system is commonly designed to behave in-elastically and undergo large deformations. The large deformation of the facade system leads to high blast

Integrating power flow modelling with building simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The inclusion of photovoltaic facades and other local sources of both heat and power within building designs has given rise to the concept of embedded generation: where some or all of the heat and power demands are produced close to the point of use ...

A Novel Framework for Optimizing Indoor Illuminance and Discovering Association of Involved Variables

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
The associations between various design variables affecting the visual performance of responsive facade systems are investigated in this study. First, we propose a data-driven approach to study practical aspects of illuminance optimization for responsive

Wire mesh design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, i.e., freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we map material properties of wire meshes to the geometric model of Chebyshev nets.
