Featured Application of ESTECO technology in the AEC INDUSTRY
Takenaka Corporation automates simulation-based architectural design
Structural engineers and computational architects at Takenaka Corporation Technical Research Institute applied optimization-driven design approach to perfect a 3D model of a steel pavilion-like office building with the aim of maximizing the connections between rooms, expanding office space and designing a stunning atrium.
TU Delft optimizes Trombe wall thermal performance with ESTECO Technology
The influence of eight parameters (climate, building function, orientation, age, building method, room size, window size and type of glazing) on the energy and comfort performance of the innovative Trombe wall has been investigated using modeFRONTIER analytics and visualization tools to assess the reduction or increase in energy demand for heating and cooling.
High-Rise Office Building achieves zero energy use with optimization-driven design technology
This research applies process automation and optimization technologies to develop a new integrated simulation methodology to design nZEBs in a mediterranean climate. This concept has been applied to a high-rise office building featuring photovoltaic panels integrated in the facade walls, located in the hot-dry climate of Athens, Greece.
Multi-disciplinary and multi-objective optimization problem re-formulation in computational design exploration: A case of conceptual sports building design
A computational design exploration approach has been applied to an indoor sports building in Wuhan University in China. Designers combined the use of Rhino-Grasshopper with modeFRONTIER in order to optimize multi-disciplinary performance criteria related to architecture, climate (daylight, thermal and energy) and structure.
