First, we consider a novel computational workflow to customize illuminance ranges and select target areas to examine local light levels in residential applications. Then, we explore the ability of vectorized computer languages to increase the speed of annual daylighting calculations. Finally, we show how parametric iterative algorithms can be used to design prismatic skylights that optimize useful daylight, glare reduction, and energy consumption. 1. This session will be an interactive exploration of climate change, carbon removal, energy use, and indoor air quality in the built environment. Through a participatory framework using a software tool to help facilitate conversation, we will simulate a methodology for assessing risks in the built environment, identifying pain points of building owners and occupants, and developing a novel solution for the identified energy, indoor air quality, and climate adaptation challenges. A technical background will be provided at the start of the session and then a series of questions will be asked to guide participants through the simulated product development experience. Modelling of existing buildings presents unique challenges which can differ quite substantially from one building to the next depending on many technical and non-technical factors. This session covers two tools for assessing existing buildings as well as one unique case study of a historic museum. The first tool discussed is focused on retrofitting opportunities for small to medium commercial buildings while the second is focused on rapid modelling for ESG assessments. The museum case study presents the use of specialized simulation techniques to solve the specific challenges facing the museum. This session presents three studies that use advanced simulation and analysis techniques to assess the impacts of the built environment on human occupants. The first presentation investigates the variation of temperature across time and across space in single family residences and its impact on thermal comfort. This is followed by a study of the impact of thermal conditions on sleep for older occupants. The final presentation considers the impact on occupant behavior patterns of simulated building performance metrics. This session discusses the role future weather, climate and other extreme climate events play in decisions concerning the nexus between energy efficiency, resiliency, and load flexibility. The first presentation discusses optimization approaches for building envelope to account for future climatic demands. The next presentation discusses the development of a simplified battery storage sizing tool to estimate storage needs for homes operating off-grid. The session discusses the importance of a stochastic model of future weather conditions, so that dynamics between resilience metrics and efficiency metrics can be fairly assessed.
