They serve multiple purposes such as to ensure proper indoor climate to provide sufficient daylight but also to create a desirable architectural image. Integration of these aspects makes facade design a complex task that requires significant effort in order to achieve well-performing results. It is thus desirable that systematic approaches to facade design are developed. In this study we consider facade design as a multi-objective optimization problem integrating diverse design criteria namely indoor daylight distribution structural performance and cost. We evaluate design performance by making use of simulation. Consequently we use Differential Evolution (DE) to search for best-tradeoff solutions. We compare the performance of two DE variants using the Hypervolume metric and also through qualitative inspection. We report facade designs that demonstrate interesting and often unexpected features concluding that the proposed approach may lead to a novel more integrated design process.Englishfacade design, differential evolution, integrated design, multi-objective optimizationConference Object
