“…e main reasons for cracks in the wall include too much shrinkage of the weighing or filling wall itself, insufficient performance of nanomaterials, poor construction technology, unscientific treatment of thermal bridges or joints, and insufficient external thermal insulation structure design. Dispersible polymer powder is a kind of good dry fluidity, which is the same as the modification mechanism of polymer emulsion to cement mortar [14]. After mixing with the cement mortar, the cement and polymer form a network structure.…”

In order to solve the problem that building engineering construction needs to consume a lot of energy and cause environmental pollution, which will pose a great pressure on urban resources and environment, this paper proposes that, in building engineering construction, appropriate green construction technology must be selected in combination with the actual situation, so as to effectively reduce the energy consumption of building engineering and improve the use efficiency of building engineering. Firstly, good thermal insulation nanomaterials are selected, which are cost-effective, safe, and nontoxic and has small thermal conductivity, large heat storage coefficient, stable chemical performance, and good construction performance. Secondly, it also needs to be selected according to the actual service life of the building. Because the current evaluation system is mostly aimed at the planning and design stage, and the structure occupies a large part in the building, for example, the impact on the construction period accounts for more than 50% and the impact on the cost accounts for 35%. Therefore, Duan Xiaorong and others established the grey cluster evaluation model of green building structure design based on the triangular whitening weight function. Finally, according to the relevant national regulations, this paper optimizes the design of green buildings based on the basic principles of energy conservation and emission reduction, high quality, and high efficiency.

“…On average we find that every month of full lockdown reduced the demand by 20% on average, or over 1.5% on an annual basis [5]. Therefore, focusing on methods to optimize the energy efficiency and promoting sustainability in the building's component while considering the quality of indoor spaces has been one of the trend topics among researchers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In Iran, artificial lighting is reported to contribute up to 25% of electricity consumption in office buildings [14].…”

(1) Background: considering multiple, and somehow conflicting, design objectives can potentially make achieving a high-performance design a complex task to perform. For instance, shading devices can dramatically affect the building performance in various ways, such as energy consumption and daylight. This paper introduces a novel procedure for designing shading devices as an integral part of daylightophil architecture for office buildings by considering daylight and energy performance as objectives to be optimal. (2) Methods: to address the topic, a three-step research method was used. Firstly, three different window shades (fixed and dynamic) were modeled, one of which was inspired by traditional Iranian structures, as the main options for evaluation. Secondly, each option was evaluated for energy performance and daylight-related variables in critical days throughout the year in terms of climatic conditions and daylight situations (equinoxes and solstices including 20 March, 21 June, 22 September, and 21 December). Finally, to achieve a reliable result, apart from the results of the comparison of three options, all possible options for fixed and dynamic shades were analyzed through a multi-objective optimization to compare fixed and dynamic options and to find the optimal condition for dynamic options at different times of the day. (3) Results: through different stages of analysis, the findings suggest that, firstly, dynamic shading devices are more efficient than fixed shading devices in terms of energy efficiency, occupants’ visual comfort, and efficient use of daylight (roughly 10%). Moreover, through analyzing dynamic shading devices in different seasons and different times of the year, the optimal form of this shading device was determined. The results indicate that considering proper shading devices can have a significant improvement on achieving high-performance architecture in office buildings. This implies good potential for daylightophil architecture, but would require further studies to be confirmed as a principle for designing office buildings.

“…Moreover, some Python-based optimization tools can be easily coupled to simulation engines such as Radiance and EnergyPlus. Numerous studies included Octopus [13][14][15] and other optimization tools from Grasshopper such as Galapagos [16,17] and Colibrì [3,18] into their workflows (Figure 7). Zhuang et al [19] proposed a performanceintegrated BIM framework for building life-cycle energy efficiency and carbon optimization (Table 3).…”

A synthetic review of the application of multi-objective optimization models to the design of climate-responsive buildings and neighbourhoods is carried out. The review focused on the software utilized during both simulation and optimization stages, as well as on the objective functions and the design variables. The hereby work aims at identifying knowledge gaps and future trends in the research field of automation in the design of buildings. Around 140 scientific journal articles, published between 2014 and 2021, were selected from Scopus and Web of Science databases. A three-step selection process was applied to refine the search terms and to discard works investigating mechanical, structural, and seismic topics. Meta-analysis of the results highlighted that multi-objective optimization models are widely exploited for (i) enhancing building’s energy efficiency, (ii) improving thermal and (iii) visual comfort, minimizing (iv) life-cycle costs, and (v) emissions. Reviewed workflows demonstrated to be suitable for exploring different design alternatives for building envelope, systems layout, and occupancy patterns. Nonetheless, there are still some aspects that need to be further enhanced to fully enable their potential such as the ability to operate at multiple temporal and spatial scales and the possibility of exploring strategies based on sector coupling to improve a building’s energy efficiency.
