Local system III [cumulative radiation/thermal mass]

One of the strategies implemented into the pre-solution local system III, was the idea of exposing thermal mass in winter periods, controlled by the parametric input. The illustrations show the two strings located underneath the envelope of the building in red colour (ill. to the left) and two simulation illustrations showing cumulative radiation onto thermal mass in winter periods (centre ill.) and cumulative radiation in summer periods (right ill.). The informed pre-solution based on heuristics show a clear use in conceptual form finding processes towards optimisation through a first generation of simulation iterations. To further improve the performance of the differentiated environmental input in relation to season an alteration of the parametric set-up will be done.
