English abstract:
This paper introduces an active computational tool to generate and comparatively evaluate integrated building envelope and interior lighting system designs. In this context, active computational support denotes the derivation of possible design schemes based on preliminary performance considerations. The "generate-and-test" method is adopted to realize this active system feature. The tool is intended to facilitate the comparative evaluation of the generated envelope and room-lighting schemes in view of daylight utilization potential, visual performance criteria, and energy consumption level.
