Abstract
Understanding issues early in the integrated design process is important, as this is when designers and engineers are able to have the largest impact on the final product. In this article the technology of conceptual architectural design for low energy buildings is proposed to address this issue. Here two methods – Quality function Deployment and Axiomatic design are used to develop the conception and to eliminate the main disadvantages of traditional building design. The integration of BIM, energy modelling (DesignBuilder) help to highlight the issue of energy efficiency at the early stage of building design, resulting in effective and more to posed requirements orientated design process.
Highlights
The contemporary architectural design process is growing in complexity due to various factors such as increasing size of projects, multiple agents involved in the design phases and technological dynamics
Quality function deployment and Axiomatic design are the methods/design approaches, which have been widely used in other engineering fields, and have a big potential in Integrated Building Design process, as it was used only in few cases
The traditional building design process faces many challenges related to the design team, the efficiency of the design solutions and many conflicting requirements, which have to be fulfilled
Summary
The contemporary architectural design process is growing in complexity due to various factors such as increasing size of projects, multiple agents involved in the design phases and technological dynamics. This complexity directly affects the design process and implies that the more advanced the development of a design, the greater the effort spent on an eventual change of parameters and solutions (Kiatake et al 2017). The design team must try to optimize on a large number of criteria, such as energy demand, indoor environment, materials, life cycle cost, etc., which are often conflicting (Østergård et al 2016). The project in the early design stage is very uncertain, all the decisions made have a great influence on the whole building’s life cycle
