Optimizing Facade Design — A Fast, Integrated Workflow Workshop
Using a real office building case study with two contrasting facade strategies, we’ll explore how exterior form tightly integrates with internal spatial logic—bridging design intent and performance data.
🔧 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Build simulation models that run in just seconds, enabling near real-time feedback
✅ Use Wallacei and Galapagos for fast, evolutionary design iteration
✅ Step-by-step setup of SDA and Radiance-based radiation simulations
✅ Assess PV generation to understand renewable energy potential
✅ Structure your data cleanly for performance-focused optimization
✅ Extend your analysis with material-based quantity take-offs to begin exploring embodied carbon
This session is ideal for designers, architects, and performance analysts looking to embed fast, data-informed decision-making into their facade design process.
