ENERGY SIMULATION & OPTIMIZATION using Grasshopper, Ladybug, Honeybee and Galapagos

Simulating Different Facades For Residential Apartments In this application we used GENERATIVE DESIGN to create variables of a single apartment, each variable has different façade system, (Double glazed windows, Triple Glazed Windows, Windows with Shading Slates, Shading Louvres, Strip ventilation) This allowed us to analyze all of their the results and obtain the BEST/WORST options. As well as filtering the results according to a given kWh ENERGY USE or a certain INTERIOR COMFORT FACTOR. Simulation Outputs: Q gn TOTAL HEAT GAIN (INT SOLAR)- kWh Q ht - TOTAL HEAT LOSS (TR. VE.) - kWh Q c,nd,cont - TOTAL COOLING REQUIREMENT - kWh TOTAL COMFORT FACTOR
