Aplicación de inteligencia artificial para el diseño sostenible de vanos en el trópico

The envelope openings of houses have a strong
implication in the indoor environmental quality and
energy consumption. Nevertheless, there are no precise
regulations for its design in equatorial tropics. Normally
these designs are based in the previous experiences and
common sense of the architect. Determining the correct
configuration of a design problem with the desired
performance is now possible with the introduction of
Parametric Design and Genetic Algorithms; through
these it’s possible to obtain the best alternatives in
the initial phase of design. The main focus of this
investigation is to design windows that proportion
adequate conditions of thermal and visual comfort, for a
warm and humid tropical climate. The use of generative
tools allows the evaluation of results in the initial stages
of the project, giving the designer the possibility of
choosing among diverse results with a high grade of
efficiency and sustainability.
