Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of assumptions regarding primary energy conversion factors in façade design optimisation studies, as a way of incorporating the effect of changes in the future electricity mix. A method for exploring the impact of these uncertainties using scenario analysis combined with weather data is presented. The method is applied in a case study that explores the selection of glazing and automated solar shading solutions for optimal trade-offs between the admission of daylight, visual comfort, energy performance and total life cycle costs.
