Abstract

Designing and optimizing a Façade Shading Device (FSD) involves conflicting goals related to view access, visual comfort, energy, daylighting, and thermal performance. The optimization becomes particularly challenging when the FSD entails a complex geometry facing different orientations and solar exposure levels. Current literature focuses on the optimization of simple discrete FSDs based on horizontal or vertical shades, favoring one or the other depending on orientation. The optimization of complex FSDs that suit different orientations and solar angles is generally limited to the control of glass fritting or screen perforation density. Considering this, we present a novel Generative Design System to study the potential of weaving horizontal and vertical shades in the design of high-performing, three-dimensional, complex FSDs.
