AI Design Optimization
Using machine learning to automatically improve designs for performance, cost, or efficiency.
Definition
AI Design Optimization employs machine learning algorithms to automatically improve building designs across multiple objectives simultaneously. Unlike traditional optimization that requires explicit mathematical formulations, AI can learn complex relationships from examples and find optimal solutions in high-dimensional design spaces. This enables optimization of building performance metrics like energy efficiency, structural efficiency, daylighting, and cost that would be impractical to optimize manually.
Examples
Optimizing window placement for daylighting and energy efficiency simultaneously
Finding the most cost-effective structural system that meets all requirements
Automatically adjusting HVAC system sizing for optimal performance
