Abstract

The dashboard is a useful tool for early-stage building design decision-making and communication, as it can help users quickly compare the energy and non-energy related performance of various automated, integrated facade systems using a library of pre-computed data. Users can explore the impacts of various design choices by selecting different facade glazing and shading systems, facade control strategies, and lighting control strategies across multiple climate zones. The dashboard instantly visualizes key metrics, including energy usage in HVAC and lighting, peak cooling and heating load, and daylight availability, allowing immediate trade-off analysis to optimize building efficiency and comfort.
