Abstract
This contribution discusses requirements, challenges and solutions for simulation-based design optimization of climate adaptive building shells. We compare the different needs of this approach with design optimization of conventional, static facades, and do this with a focus on achieving energy savings while improving indoor environmental quality in terms of thermal comfort and dynamic daylight performance. The solution we propose couples ESP-r with Radiance through the Building Controls Virtual Test Bed, and employs a receding horizon
model-based control approach with evolutionary optimization algorithms to ensure high-performance operational façade adaptation.
