Building for tomorrow: Analyzing ideal thermal transmittances in the face of cl...
Rodrigues, Eugénio; Parente, Jean; Fernandes, Marco S.The climate will become hotter, and buildings will perform differently as outdoor conditions evolve. If the lowest energy demand is desired, it is crucial to determine the ideal thermophysical properties of the envelope over the buildings' life span. However, the scientific literature is still scarce in providing a compelling answer. Therefore, this study (i) determines ideal thermal transmittance values (U-val...
Integration of convolutional and adversarial networks into building design: A r...
Parente, Jean; Rodrigues, Eugénio; Rangel, Bárbara; Poças Martins, JoãoConvolutional and adversarial networks are found in various fields of knowledge and activities. One such field is building design, a multi-disciplinary and multi-task process involving many different requirements and preferences. Although showing several advantages over traditional computational methods, they are still far from being part of the daily design practice. Nevertheless, if fully integrated, these me...
