This can lead to great advantages: optimal design solutions can be properly identified only if all criteria are considered at the same time, rather than separately. There are two barriers which obstruct optimization from being applied to building design: a technological barrier (applying the algorithms is not easy and can be quite time-consuming) and a cultural one (architects and engineers are required to change their perspectives as the design process has to be handled in a new way). This book explores these barriers from the perspective of both engineers and architects, and proposes a change in the attitudes of these two “actors”: an engineer and an architect develop a dialog which helps them understand each other’s perspective; in this way they find how they must both make a step forward.Energy efficiencyBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalRenewable energy resourcesDesignEnergy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Building Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Renewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Design, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K19000Energy efficiency.Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Renewable energy resources.Design.Energy Efficiency.Building Construction and Design.Renewable and Green Energy.Design, general.621.042658.26690696Zemella Giovanniauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut968465Faraguna Andreaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299622903321Evolutionary Optimisation of Façade Design2199677UNINA
