A Parameterized Design Method for Building a Shading System Based on Climate Adaptability

The relationship between environmental factors and the indoor physical environment is very close, external shading considered an effective way to adjust interaction outdoor environment. However, determining how set up system remains a notable issue. In early design stage, architects have adopted process of designing form function first then checking whether those characteristics meet energy-saving specifications. this involves great deal repetitive inefficient work cannot requirements energy savings emission reductions in global context. Therefore, it particularly important seek method that combines with form-based design. This paper takes construction project Northwest China as its research object. study, typical parametric models for are designed. Furthermore, performance objectives based on light analysis proposed, Ladybug Tools genetic algorithm (GA) used optimization verification. results show adaptive can significantly reduce total cooling consumption per unit area summer by 20% 15%, respectively. comfort level throughout year improved 14.8% (air conditioning on) 4.7% off). study proposes fast improving efficiency accuracy performance-based
