A case study exploring regulated energy use in domestic buildings using design-of-experiments and multi-objective optimisation
Paper presents advanced design method for reducing energy consumption of buildings. Work has been applied at Buro Happold on an optimisation project for Scottish architect Mactaggart and Mickel to make their range of house types meet energy regulations as cost-effectively as possible. This changed design practice at Buro Happold by setting precedent for bringing optimisation into design process [contact: Project Director - Specialist Consulting, Buro Happold].
