A review of integration between BIM and CFD for building outdoor environment simulation

Lang Zheng et al.

Summary: Numerous studies have found that the climate of cities and human settlements have an impact on building performance and human comfort. Traditionally, ambient data was collected through on-site measurements or physical models, but now data-based techniques like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are more popular. This paper reviews publications in this field up until 2022, categorizing them into different sections based on the BIM-CFD integration process, building design optimization, and integration process optimization. The results show that BIM and CFD play an essential role in building design practice, although there is room for improvement in their dynamic data transfer and synchronization capabilities.

A Grammar-Based Approach for Generating Spatial Layout Solutions for the Adaptive Reuse of Sobrado Buildings

Daniele M. S. Paulino et al.

Summary: This research develops a shape grammar for the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, specifically for sobrado buildings in Sao Luis, Brazil. It proposes a transformation grammar that adapts single-family sobrado buildings into multi-family apartments, considering spatial and structural requirements. The grammar allows different layout solutions for the same building and aims to accelerate the reuse of historic structures for modern housing needs. The paper describes the grammar rules and their application to three case study buildings.

Multi-Objective Optimisation of Urban Form: A Framework for Selecting the Optimal Solution

Milad Showkatbakhsh et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the application of population-based optimization algorithms in urban design, introduces three primary steps, and focuses on the formulation of data-driven selection mechanisms. By utilizing these algorithms, urban designers can select the optimal solution more objectively and subjectively, effectively addressing multi-objective conflicts in design.

Generative design and performance optimization of residential buildings based on parametric algorithm

Jingyu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study combines energy-efficient green design and artificial intelligence technology to develop a parametric generative algorithm for automatically generating design schemes of typical Chinese urban residences. Through a case study in Beijing, it was found that the parametric generative design can facilitate passive green design in the early stage and enhance energy efficiency.
