The research on provision of computational support for building performance analysis has traditionally concentrated on the building design phase. However, computational modeling can also effectively apply to the building operation phase. To explore this potential, we consider in this paper simulation-assisted control strategies to integrate contextual forces (specifically daylight) into building control systems.
