“…Further, Marks [29] studied the optimum proportions of wall lengths, their angles and glazing parameters for multistory office buildings in Australia. The study was further extended by Jedrzejuk and Marks [30] to present a multi-criteria optimisation method of the shape and structure of the buildings and optimisation of heat sources. For the buildings in tropical climate, Mangkuto et al [31] conducted a simulation study to investigate the effect of WWR, window orientation and wall reflectance on lighting energy demand and daylight metrics.…”

This paper examines the effect of building shape, zones, orientation and window to wall ratio (WWR) on the lighting energy requirement and the thermal comfort in the naturally ventilated houses in tropical climate. The lighting electricity and the adaptive thermal discomfort hours (ASHRAE 55 80% acceptability) of 300 different models of two-storey houses were obtained using Design Builder simulation software. The models were developed for three building shapes (square, rectangle and L-shaped) and the orientation of each model was changed for 24 orientations and four window to wall ratios. Results indicate that the rectangular shape with staircase positioned in the middle of the house will provide higher thermal comfort for WWR of 20 and for other WWRs the L-shaped models provide higher thermal comfort when the staircase is positioned at the short corner or middle. The square-shaped houses with staircase at the middle have the highest lighting electricity and the L shape has the lowest lighting electricity. Further, WWR changes the thermal comfort by 20-55% and the percentage change in lighting electricity due to WWR is only 1.5-9.5%. Therefore, thermal comfort should receive more attention in deciding the WWR. Moreover, the results show an effect when the zone sizes and location change.

“…9 The iterative process to conduct performance-base design of a circular segment bounding the northern part of the building and a curve described in parametric form describing its southern part. Jedrzejuk and Marks followed similar approaches to establish a theory and obtain solutions and presented an example for the optimization of shape and functional structure of buildings, as well as heat source utilization [26][27][28].…”

As the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is marching into the sustainable and low-carbon era, the performance of architecture has drawn more attention than ever. Simulation technology has made quantified analysis of architectural performance possible and, therefore, directly enables architects and engineers to incorporate performance analysis into the design work flow. It is argued that performance-based and performancedriven architectural designs differ in that the latter involves computer-aided optimization technique so that the performance can be used as the criteria to truly "drive" the design. The paper starts with a brief introduction of performance issues in architectural design, followed by a review of the evolution of performance-based architectural design. The concept of performance-driven architectural design is presented, and some design projects and research work are reviewed. The driving engine, i.e., optimization technique, and its application in architectural design is discussed. Challenges to making performance-driven design a common practice are explained, and a schematic of integrated performance-based/driven architectural design software is proposed.

“…For the direct method, the optimal value is found by moving in a direction based on the local gradient (Kheiri, 2018;Goldberg, 1989). Jedrzejuk and Marks (2002a;2002b) carried out a multicriteria optimization with an explicit mathematical model with three individual objectives: optimization of outer walls of buildings, optimization of the shape of blocks of flats and optimization of heat source utilization. The optimization problems are solved using the analytic-numerical method applied in CAMOS computer system.…”
