We aim to lead a hands-on discussion that asks how we might consider and anticipate the impact of climate change on buildings and the environment to speculate, imagine, and innovate new models of design intervention that can modulate better performance outcomes. Although parametric analysis is an emergent data-driven approach to building performance analysis, few practitioners understand effective methods of evaluating parametric analysis data. Furthermore, even fewer understand predictive models and how to estimate uncertainties. Designers who equip themselves with these techniques can derive insight beyond hysterics and guess concerning innovation. In these three days’ workshops, the participants will learn how to simulate performance models based on weather files that represent different scenarios for climate changes and then generate design alternatives, analyze the performance of large design spaces, augment simulated data using machine learning predictive methods, visualize data for qualitative data exploration, perform sensitivity analysis on simulated data and manage uncertainty using analysis of variance methods for quantitative assessment. Objectives
- Understand the how to create, access, and use different climate model scenarios
- Formulate multi-criteria design problems
Understand the fundamentals of parametric analysis
- Represent priorities in a value function
- Visualize data for qualitative analysis
- Perform statistical sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact of individual input parameters on the overall results.
- Model the decision-making process in multidimensional problems quantifying uncertainties.
- Iterate, adapt and innovate new design responses opportunities
