Abstract
The research investigates how different design approaches and computational methods can be integrated in the design process of energy efficient and comfortable buildings. Three approaches were studied: A scenario-by-scenario conventional design approach, a parametric approach and an evolutionary optimization approach. To explore the potential and limitation of such methods, a nearly Zero-Energy Building (nZEB) prototype, named Autarki 1:1 (Greek word for self- sufficient), was designed and built on the campus of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. The performance optimization was achieved with different tools: EnergyPlus, jEplus and jEplus+EA. The experiment allowed the evaluation and discussion of optimization techniques compatibility with an architectural design process. The user- friendliness, the time required for inputting and computing, the related need of hardware resources and the effectiveness of each strategy are described.
