Abstract

The needs for accurate energy consumption estimation in different design alternatives are essential for all projects. The demands to achieve sustainable design drive not only the efforts of a large number of researchers and organizations all over the world but also for designers in Vietnam, especially for building design in Vietnam, whereas the green constructions are growing rapidly. The developed software in the first stage helps the designers to quickly calculate and select the alternatives for green building design. This paper is carried out under the collaboration project between Van Lang University (VLU, Vietnam) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU, USA) to develop a software for sustainable design, which focuses on energy consumption optimization. This software is the first project towards the full software development life cycle for green design in Vietnam.
