Future proofing a building design using history matching inspired level‐set techniques
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 335-350, March 2021., 2021 Abstract How can one design a building that will be sufficiently protected against overheating and sufficiently energy efficient, whilst considering the expected increases in temperature due to climate change? We successfully manage to address this question—greatly reducing a large set of initial candidate building designs down to a small set of ...
