A new information tool as an enabling technology: application and simulation

Abstract

The research aims at identifying an information tool for design activities through enabling technologies, developed on the interactions between envelope and context. The methodology, articulated according to the phases of analysis, processing, and applicative validation, prefigures a response strategy to the phenomena of environmental and energy crisis with respect to the different scales of action. Considering the effect of climatic phenomena on the envelopes and the contemporary performance requirements they are called to meet, the contribution provides a dynamic data sheet (analysis and evaluation of energy-environmental performance) based on the model drawn up by the European Joint Research Centre, to verify the appropriateness of envelope design.
