Easy Breezy

  • Overview: This generative design tool is perfect for architects and energy designers who want to get a rough estimate of different building designs that meet the basic minimum natural ventilation of 5% (Window Area/Floor Area). While also accounting for construction cost of the building based on height, floor area, and number of windows.
    • Inputs:
      • Top Profile Radius
      • Bottom Profile Radius
      • Tower Height
      • Percent Glazed ~ Rough estimate for wall percent glazed (based on curve length) (Optimum proportion of glazing for energy efficiency is 10-30% of wall area. link)
    • Constants:
      • Level Height
      • Sill Height
      • Number of Profile Sides (Building Form)
      • Window Size
      • Window Shape
    • Outputs:
      • Total Floor Area
      • Total Window Area
      • Window Area/Floor Area Ratio
      • Total Cost of Construction (floor area, height, and number of windows)

Note: I did simplify my tool from its original design. Also, I was not able to get my “windows” to properly align with the building surface (I apologize for that). But the calculations are running smoothly!
