Abstract
This paper presents the latest version of our software, EcoGen2.1, to the Building Simulation community: a quite advanced prototype for generative eco-design, resulting from a French ANR project, having been the subject of a deposit with legal protection, and recently used to assist the architectural design of an emblematic building in a competition in France. The tool is adapted to the sketch step of the design, when it comes, in a given urban and climatic context, to composing the general forms of a building or a plot of buildings, depending on various criteria that ensure a sufficient level of efficiency in view of bioclimatic and environmental requirements, notably relating to solar energy, thermal consumption and luminous comfort. We have focused on the technical work involved in breaking major difficulties when trying to develop real time and interactive software devoted to generative eco-design in the early stages of an architectural project.
