Parametric point-cloud slicing for facade retrofitting

This work presents a method for retrieving 3D building contours usable in facade retrofitting projects, which uses parametric modeling workflow that utilizes point-cloud slicing to retrieve such contours. Since current commitments by European governments seek reduce energy consumption as means carbon emissions from stock 2050, appears an alternative addressing operational and embedded emissions. Within context, the main contribution of this consists reconstruction solution environment capturing topology bypassing ground-level occlusions. A real case study strategy converting into Industry Foundation Classes entities, directly environment, served scenario testing capabilities Grasshopper open new perspectives approach.
