    • Machine learning paradigms for building energy performance simulations 

      Aijazi, Arfa N. (Arfa Nawal) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
      This research seeks to overcome a technical limitation of building energy performance simulations, the computation time, by using surrogate modeling, a class of supervised machine learning techniques where the output is a ...

    • C L I M A + : an early design natural ventilation prediction method 

      Arsano, Alpha Yacob (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
      One of the most widely discussed passive building design strategies is using natural ventilation for cooling. In addition to providing fresh air, which enhances occupant productivity and comfort, strategic implementation ...

    • Improvisational specification of design spaces 

      Charidis, Alexandros (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
      As a mathematical abstraction and as a model for automated problem solving, the classical notion of a design space has proven convenient for the sciences and the engineering disciplines over the past sixty years. This is ...
