This is a poster presentation of my PhD thesis.The expected achievement of this thesis is a coupling platform, solving continuity (temporal and spatial) issues of current global environmental study of buildings in tropical urban areas. It will use the great range of weather-based simulation tools to assess the impact of the urban microclimate on buildings, occupants and pedestrians' comfort and ultimately optimize the urban form to passive design strategies. Current design practice for buildings located in dense urban tropical areas imply multiple, independent and multi-scale models, tools and interfaces making continuity of the overall building environmental study (from mesoscale to microscale) impossible. This modeling issue makes the efficiency of passive design strategies adapted to tropical climates uncertain.PS: The approach currently selected is to develop a coupling platform via the couple Rhino-Grasshopper. This approach and the selected tools might change or evolve in the future. |
