http://visualizegreen.posterous.com/visualizing-climate-responsive-buildings How informed are our design decisions? We use tools such as daylight models to predict the light levels within a space and conform our design based on such analysis. Gathering real time data from a building to inform future design especially when it comes to high performance design, is not a normal process.
Should a change in design process necessary to really produce meaningful and high performance designs?
The video above is one attempt to use technology to receive from and send data to buildings.
Thoughts?
