- Abstract
- The talk specifically introduces the concept, structure, components, and application results of "SEMPER", an active, multi-aspect computational tool for comprehensive simulation-based design assistance. Specifically, SEMPER seeks to meet the following requirements: 1. Methodologically coherent and consistent (first-principles-based) performance modeling approach through the entire building design process. 2. Comprehensive (multi-domain) design and evaluation support. 3. Seamless and dynamic communication between the simulation models and an object-oriented space-based design environment using the structural homology of various domain representations. 4. Active design support via "preference-based" performance-to-design mapping technology (bi-directional inference).
