| Summary: | and practice. and responsive design solutions. Explicit representation of are becoming integral parts of the modern day building design are few, if any, efficient means of transferring geometric because the energy simulation software is also developed been developed and perfected to facilitate more comprehensive between a specific CAD package and a particular energy building design parameters are needed if computers are to be calculation programs require data relating to building calculation software. Although automated, the scope of their can describe building geometry without using a large CAD chosen as the programming environment because it supports consuming for efficient use. Other programs act as links data to energy calculation programs that are fully automated, dependency on large CAD packages. A graphical interface that describes both the features of the database structure and the design of the sketch program. This is intended to be a efficient energy analysis solutions for research, education energy calculation programs involve cumbersome manual input foundation that can contribute to the development of more graphic user interfaces (GUls) and operates under the Windows into energy calculation software may eliminate the tedium of materials, occupancy and climate. They also require of such data which makes the process too tedious and time operating system. Moreover, it is compatible with this task package and generate necessary parameters for direct input parameters describing the building geometry. However, there Performance analysis and consideration of energy utilization process. Over the past years energy calculation software has run independently of CAD packages and generic enough to be simulation software package. Microsoft Visual Basic was that both facilitates building design and yet extracts just The research involves development of a sketch' ing pro gram those design attributes that are required by an energy under the same programming environment. This thesis usable with all CAD and energy calculation packages. Most used to aid energy conscious design and evaluation. Energy user input and maximize the efficiency of the design process. utility is severely limited by their specificity and |
